More necessary or more perilous? Experts on the case for a European supergrid after the Iberian blackout.
In an attempt to significantly ramp up its energy independence, the EU has revealed that it will be adding a further 89 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in 2025.
With widespread power failures and intensifying climate change, could it be time to revisit the dream of a European supergrid?

TALEBANI DELLA SCIENZA?
Difendere la razionalità e il controllo empirico non è fanatismo, ma l’unico antidoto contro l’arbitrio travestito da sapere.

Ma quali “talebani della scienza"? Chiedere prove alle pseudoscienze non è dogmatismo
Quando si è a corto di argomenti, si colpisce il modo in cui l’altro si esprime, specialmente quando si osa criticare una pratica pseudoscientifica con argomenti fondati. Ma la vera medicina si fonda sul dubbio metodico, non sull’immunità emotivawww.ilfoglio.it

The video depicts a military operation involving a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms and helmets, working around a large artillery gun mounted on a truck. The scene is set in an open, barren area with sparse vegetation, suggesting a training or operational environment. The soldiers are seen performing various tasks around the artillery, including loading and aiming the gun, with some individuals actively engaged in the process. The truck, a Tatra model, is equipped with a large artillery gun and is covered with a canvas tarpaulin. The soldiers are seen coordinating their efforts, with some standing and others crouching or kneeling, indicating a well-organized and disciplined operation. The video captures the soldiers' movements and interactions, emphasizing the teamwork and precision required in military operations. The environment is dry and dusty, with a clear sky, and the soldiers' actions are methodical and focused, highlighting the seriousness of their task.

Italian Dream probabilmente finito, perché i giovani stranieri che un tempo andavano a Londra e nel Regno Unito per fare un lavoretto, imparare l’inglese molto presto troveranno la porta chiusa.
Il governo laburista di Starmer annuncia nuove leggi sull’immigrazione che penalizzerà gli stranieri non qualificati e vieterà loro di ottenere un visto lavorativo nel Regno Unito se non si ha già una laurea e non si conosce l’inglese in modo pressoché fluente.
