Triceratops skeleton in the American Museum of Natural History. Taken 2006. Note the old fashioned sprawling gait in the forelimbs.

Beware this is 1) a long video but 2) well worth it.
When discussing the #EnergyTransition people often simplify the general, all important, topic: DEPENDABLE energy systems. What’s the use of ‘clean’ energy if it shuts down every time.
Bearing in mind that it’s all about a transition [changing, evolving and improving] with a end goal still undetermined. Just abolishing one source and hallowing another is too easy [and it never is]. It will take a enormous effort, research [and money] to reach the end goal.
I don’t have to stress the urgency to reach the goal. ‘We’ [humanity] have been procrastinating the inevitable so long that the goal is the only solution against suffocation, is the transition to a clean source of the energy to drive ‘our’ civilization.
You may want to react with that the video is about Australia. Don’t ! ‘cause it is.
I share it only to suggest solutions on the integration. Like Flinders Island [Dutch ‘vlinders’ transl as butterflies].
In my mind ‘we’ should
* all make our own energy, depending only on the grid in an emergency.
* use every possibility of clean energy
* decentralize the political power of the main energy suppliers. Undermine the monopoly !
* we can’t burn things anymore
Put some critical thinking into it in stead of saying ‘can’t’ or ‘ney’ or other dumb shit.
Cause if you don’t think, you’re not worthy of the power.

"Dieser Atlas zeigt, wo unsere Verstrickungen liegen, welche Schäden entstehen, welche #fossilen Projekte am dringendsten beendet werden müssen. Er deckt nicht nur
einzelne Skandale auf, sondern beleuchtet das ganze System, das diese fossile Realität möglich
macht. Ein System, das wir – wenn wir es ernst meinen mit #Klimagerechtigkeit – Stück für Stück
überwinden müssen."
This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.
This one I would rate as medium. This is known from fragmentary material, and is NOT Spinosaurus, although it is closely related to it.
Hide your guesses behind a content warning, so others can guess without being spoilt. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

Wahnsinnig gutes Interview mit Christian Stöcker (Männer die die Welt verbrennen):
Sehr starke Aussagen zur #energiewende und #klimakatastrophe
#fossil #DieselDieter #nospringerpresse
Absolute Empfehlung zum hören!
Bitte teilen!
Erste Aussage: Wie hoch ist erneuerbare Anteil am Zubau der Energiegewinnung 2025? 92%! Hättet ihr es gewusst?
Subventionen für Fossil dieses Jahr: über 1 Billion Dollar! + Schäden 7 Billionen bis 37 Billionen Dollar

Ein vergiftetes Geschenk:
Deutsche Hersteller und Zulieferer werden ggf. jetzt weiter zweigleisig entwickeln müssen:

Prädikat: Besonders hörenswert!

From #Greenpeace email:
"The last 50 years have seen a #catastrophic 73% decline in average monitored wildlife populations.
...here is what that means in real life:
A 78% loss of #African #forest #elephants
A 57% decline in nesting female hawksbill turtles
A 51% loss of chinstrap #penguins
This devastating loss is being fueled by powerful, #profit-chasing interests, from destructive industrial #fishing to #fossil #fuel giants who treat #wildlife as #disposable."

Auch weiterhin besteht für #Bundeskanzler #Merz #Mobilität nur aus dem #Autoverkehr. Andere Möglichkeiten der Fortbewegung kennt er nicht.
So gerade in der PK ... Dieser vorauseilende Gehorsam gegenüber der #Fossil- und #Auto|industrie ist mehr als peinlich.
This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.
This one I would rate as medium. While this lived alongside dinosaurs, it wasnt one of them.
Reminder: hide your answer behind a content warning. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).
