  1. Habeck said large-scale immigration would be necessary to realise the energy transition, which would require a considerable number of engineers, craftspeople and carers. “We have 300,000 job openings today and we expect that to rise to a million and more. If we don’t close that gap, we will face real productivity problems,” he said.

    Meanwhile war drums are beating in the east.

  2. “Currently about 42% of energy in Germany comes from renewables”: I’m pretty sure they mean 42% of the electricity mix. Electricity being only 20% of the energy mix in Germany, that should be around 8%, right?

  3. We *will* reach a point where net zero isn’t gonna happen in time and it would be easier if there were just… less people. Outsourcing emissions =/= eliminating them

    Think about weighing the future of this rock and our species vs the people alive now. Tell me it’s not seriously being thought about. If it came to it I’d likely agree if we could strategically dump the conscious idiots/assholes from the planet it would be better. I might even be in that group
