I’m disappointed Spain isn’t the jesus portrait restoration gone wrong. That shit is hilarious.

Hopefully one day :)

Yep! Maybe not the best overall in Europe, but we do have some strong winds and also very sunny days so solar energy is also easy to come by.

In one of our archipelagos (Azores) we also have geothermal power plants since we have active vulcanos there.

Aditionally I think there were some major developments in harnessing the ocean’s waves so on that front, I think we would absolutely crush it.

Well that was just an example anyways. I thought it was nuclear but I might be wrong, never really looked too much into it.

Any nuclear power plant can become a liability during war times though. Hopefully it never comes to that, but you never know…

In Portugal the last coal plant closed maybe a year or so ago. Apparently some countries will take longer but, here’s a link https://beyondfossilfuels.org/europes-coal-exit/

But yeah, Poland, turkey and some balkans don’t have much planned…

Are you in Europe? Wtf Isn’t it a EU wide goal to phase coal out by 2030 or something?

I still think in the long run it’s worth it. Maybe not as good as wind I guess, but 100% better than gas/oil/coal etc…

Not saying nuclear isn’t green btw.

I, personally, am all for nuclear. However given the choice I’d rather my country invests in wind geothermal, solar and others. Nuclear can be a liability as we’ve seen in Ukraine.

I’m Portuguese and as much as I’d love to run on 96% green energy I can’t believe it… Last time I checked (it was quite a while ago I’ll give them that) we imported a lot of nuclear energy from France. So unless France is 100% green and still has a green energy surplus (which it isn’t/doesn’t) we’re just transfering our carbon footprint…

We do have a lot of wind turbines so maybe we don’t import as much anymore but still…

The timing on this is funny. I was just talking about this with me SO. I am on vacation around BENELUX and this is the first time I’ve ever seen the carry on bags were paid. You can take a small bag though but I remember that, at least before covid, you could bring a carry on + a small bag under the seat in front of you for free.

I was asked 50€ for the carry on this time… So for a couple that’s 200€ just in carry on fees lol. I packed all my clothing on my backpack and I think I’ll eventually need to pay a laundromat or something to wash my clothes but it won’t be 50€.

Fuck these hidden fees.
