What's the opposite of doom scrolling?

Spain just pulled off one of the fastest energy transformations in Europe.

@bradr I love how clear the line before and after Pedro Sánchez is lmao

[axomamma@mastodon.online]

@bradr I don't know but 25 years doesn't seem particularly fast to me. Spain definitely gets credit for making it happen and working on it steadily over those 25 years.

@bradr Scoom drolling

[thesquirrelfish@sfba.social]

@bradr nice! And this is also part of an ongoing overall reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions. They have been steadily using less per year since 2007. Truly impressive and hopeful.

Spain has sufficient autonomy, agency, & sovereignty to chart its own course because of its energy policy

It lets Spain to tell Trump to eff off, and especially his fossil fuel oil oligarchs.

If only we were all so fortunate.

@bradr marathon scrolling?

@bradr
Spain's geographic location was helpful though, impossible to pull that stunt in central mainland Europe. UK is a different case, they can tap more wind and tidal.

@bradr wenn wir diese Entwicklung auf Deutschland übertragen könnten.... dann wären wir in 15 Jahren fossilfrei.
Aber das können wir nicht. Denn unsere Politik wurde von den fossilen Industrien gekauft.

@bradr

Mood trolling. Spain lifts all spirits lately.

@Npars01 @bradr

I ain't no fortunate one. Trump can fuck off all the same. 100s of millions should tell him so then see that he does.

@bradr You should see the amount of wind farms between Algeciras and Tarifa in coastal Andalusia.

[fusion@mastodon.social]

@bradr The 40% missing from the chart is nuclear energy?

@brad @bradr maybe heaven staying?

[publixpace@nrw.social]

@bradr They're a spain in the ass for fossilists.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@xerz @bradr Was literally about to comment, "What happened in 2018 to cause such a large uptick?"

[mbpaz@mas.to]

@disorderlyf @xerz @bradr to be honest, it's in large part a coincidence. It takes over 5 years (sometimes much longer) since a wind farm is proposed until it comes online.
Renewables are becoming the main source of electricity simply because of economics. Governments do not need to push renewables: they simply have to avoid punishing them.
