From 2023: Even when the rains come, the water shortages remain. One report showed Texas utilities lose more than 500,000 acre-feet of #water each year, enough to meet the annual needs of Austin, Forth Worth, El Paso, Laredo, and Lubbock combined. https://www.texasobserver.org/jennifer-walker-water-infrastructure-leaks/

The #Scottish Government has announced a £2 million Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Market Readiness Fund for 2025-26 to support decarbonisation of road freight. The fund encourages collaboration between operators, manufacturers, financiers, and charge point providers to identify investment opportunities in zero-emission HGVs. It builds on Scotland’s 2024 #HGV Decarbonisation Pathway and aims to accelerate deployment of charging infrastructure. £1 million is reserved for small and medium-sized HGV operators to ensure broad participation. Cabinet Secretary Fiona Hyslop highlighted the need for innovation and private investment to deliver net zero #transport. Industry leaders from the Road Haulage Association and Logistics #UK welcomed the fund as essential support, particularly for smaller firms, amidst high costs and limited charging #infrastructure. The fund is seen as a critical step toward overcoming barriers and driving forward Scotland’s net zero ambitions.

Truth. We are probably not serious about taking back our digital sovereignty at the moment. You know how it is. Bureaucracies gonna' bureaucrate. I.E.: find the lowest bidder, or someone who takes them out to dinner, or someone who is willing to train their staff on proprietary systems. Or all three. If I see anyone trying to steer the ship toward the right direction I will point them in the direction of Hubert's manifesto.
My money, for where that leadership comes from if & when we see it, is on #Norway or #Finland, but I'm just guessing.

We’ll never know🚨how many TX flooding deaths could've been avoided if a gen of st ldrs & new regime in DC had taken: evidence of #ClimateChange seriously/planned better for its disasters. Or if they viewed #publicsafety #infrastructure & scientific research as something as impt as wasting $Bs to fight a pretend “invasion."
Root causes: bad decisions from harmful ideas -rooted in a loss of faith in science/expertise/govt can make ppl’s lives better/save ppl.
