#Munich vote #Grüne Dominik #Krause as head of city council. Seats: #Greens ahead of CSU and SPD. Even Left ahead of radical far-right #AfD. It shows large constituency for pro-democracy, more tolerant centre ground. Greens need to push through policies to finally make Munich sustainability beacon

Good News von Watson: Deutschland profitiert von Erneuerbaren Dank ungewöhnlich viel Solarenergie im März sinken Stromkosten trotz steigender Gaspreise

Sonnen- und Windenergie machen Deutschland unabhängig von internationalen Krisen. Die Bundesregierung sollte sich schnellstens von Öl und Gas verabschieden und die #Energiewende konsequent vorantreiben. Robert Habeck hat es vorgemacht. 👍☀️💚

UK energy prices are soaring – and propagandists want to sell you a false reason why | George Monbiot The war on Iran has put fossil-fuel prices centre stage, but don’t believe those who tout ‘maximising the North Sea’ as our salvation, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

‘the majority of what comes through the wire is supplied by renewables and nuclear power, electricity is sold on the wholesale market at the price (the “marginal cost”) of the power source of last resort, which fills the last remaining gaps in supply: fossil gas’

Yes, hit the bar too. Lots of pivotal 'what if' moments. I don't buy the "useless/weren't trying/offered nothing" arguments. Thirty plus shots. Camped in their box. And the previous two home games (and the earlier goalless run). There's not a lot wrong tactically. Just need to get the first goal.

Kommunalwahl in München: Koalition aus Grünen, SPD, Volt und Rosa Liste im Stadtrat möglich Kaum einer im Rathaus hat es noch für möglich gehalten, doch nach Auszählung fast aller Wahllokale hat die bisherige Koalition aus Grünen, SPD, Volt und Rosa Liste eine Mehrheit.

Die CSU hat all ihre Wahlziele verfehlt, die Grünen stehen endgültig als Sieger der Kommunalwahl am Sonntag da. Sie werden zum zweiten Mal in Folge stärkste Kraft im Rathaus. Und bei der Stichwahl am 22. März bekommen wir auch noch einen grünen OB! 💪🌻💚

Dieter Reiter: Was erlauben Reiter? Münchens OB bekam viel Geld vom FC Bayern – und hat es der Stadt verheimlicht. Bedroht es seine Wiederwahl, dass er die Grenze zu den "Großkopferten" der CSU verwischt?

Reiters Rutschbahn in stets neue Ausreden: „Ich kann gar nicht sagen, ob und in welcher Höhe es eine Aufsichtsratsentschädigung gibt." Dass „eine Genehmigung des Stadtrats notwendig gewesen wäre, war mir nicht bewusst." Damit hat er jegliche Glaubwürdigkeit verspielt.

OB-Wahl München: Der verrückteste Wahlabend – und plötzlich ist alles offen Einst als OB der kleinen Leute gefeiert, steht Dieter Reiter plötzlich wegen Skandalen und Glaubwürdigkeitsverlust am politischen Abgrund. Wie konnte das passieren? Ein Kommentar von Lokal-Chef Felix ...

Reiter verliert und der große Profiteur ist Dominik #Krause. Ausgerechnet der mit gerade mal 35 mit Abstand jüngste Kandidat machte den staatstragenden, ernsthaftesten Wahlkampf. Seine Zustimmung bei dieser Wahl ist nicht hoch genug einzuschätzen. 💪🌻💚

As the right wing press praises Tony Blair for his "rebuke" of Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump's war on Iran ("We should have backed America from the very beginning."), time to re-up @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's investigation into the Tony Blair Institute
