Dire predictions about renewable energy were all wrong

Washington Post5 days ago
Twenty years ago, former vice president Al Gore was traveling the world narrating a slideshow about the perils of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change; in 2006, the presentation reached far more people through the documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth.'
Audiences would have been hard-pressed to imagine headlines from two decades later. Such as this one proclaiming, 'Solar is EU's biggest power source.' For the first time, in June, the European Union — one of the world's largest economies — produced more electricity from solar power than from any other source. Three-quarters of E.U. electricity in June came from nonfossil fuel sources.

Club set out their conditions for Federico Chiesa deal

Liverpool still have got plenty of transfer business to attend to - with only three weeks left before the start of the Premier League season. It's already been a record-breaking summer for the Reds - who have added Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now But sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot aren't stopping there. Plans are afoot to add Alexander Isak in a deal which would shatter the British transfer record that Wirtz's signing broke earlier this summer. If and when Isak comes on board there will be a necessity for the Reds to make sales. Having spent over £260m to this point, the club will be keen to make as much money back as they can. Liverpool title winners at risk Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz should be the biggest departures - with Saudi Arabian clubs keen on Nunez and Diaz attracting serious interest from Bayern Munich. Those two alone would go a long way towards paying for Isak - but other players remain at risk. We could see Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton and Ben Doak all head out the door as Hughes and Slot try to balance the books. And one more big wage-earner who could leave is . Chiesa at a Liverpool crossroads It's fair to say the deal hasn't worked out as yet for the 27-year-old - who joined the Reds from Juventus last September for a fee that could reach £12.5m. He is under contract until 2028 - but is expected to find himself at a new club by the end of this transfer window. Liverpool are probably not going to seek a huge fee for the Italian international - who has got plenty of suitors back in Serie A. Napoli and AC Milan are among the keenest clubs but could imminently face competition from Atalanta. © IMAGO - Federico Chiesa Liverpool Atalanta make their move for Chiesa La Dea have laid their cards on the table for a Chiesa deal - which they will focus on once Ademola Lookman's impending move to Inter is sorted out. According to a new report, Atalanta have set out their limits for Chiesa - meaning Liverpool have to consider the deal on it merits. 'Enquiries are underway regarding the Liverpool-Bergamo connection,' reports Il Giorno. 'No negotiations are underway for now, as Atalanta must first unravel the Lookman tangle, but in the meantime, the Nerazzurri management is starting to make quiet moves to explore a low-cost deal for Federico Chiesa. 'Atalanta are considering it, but only on their terms: a loan with an optional €10 million buyout option. Liverpool will cover part of his €5 million salary.' © IMAGO
