Sharing hope and debunking FUD against electric vehicles and renewable energy.

Zucht. Ik geloof best dat @maartenvanrossem.bsky.social verstand heeft van geschiedenis, maar van (elektrische) auto's heeft hij duidelijk geen kaas gegeten.

But off-grid solar can be the silver bullet to change that! Because what do 95% of these people in extreme poverty have in common? They live in rural areas without grid access but with year round sunshine. https://aukehoekstra.substack.com/p/solving-extreme-poverty-with-solar15 Jun 2026 16:52 +0000at://did:plc:wcpapruceqef3d52qfclel3d/app.bsky.feed.post/3modqmqgmes2chttps://bsky.app/profile/aukehoekstra.bsky.social/post/3mo5nr5esac2cTrump just disabled the newest AI model of Antropic (Fable) because it's a "security threat to the US". I think it's about loyalty to the fascist capo dei capi Trump. (Sorry for being blunt US friends.) I've had it! I've bought a licence to Vibe from Mistral (French).13 Jun 2026 06:44 +0000at://did:plc:wcpapruceqef3d52qfclel3d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo5nr5esac2chttps://bsky.app/profile/aukehoekstra.bsky.social/post/3mo5msipj2s2cI loved Obama because I loved America. Obama, like McCain, seemed to stand for what's good in America. Now half of America loves a man who stands for all that's wrong with America. I hope you find your way back to that "shining city upon a hill" but I'm not holding my breath anymore.13 Jun 2026 06:27 +0000at://did:plc:wcpapruceqef3d52qfclel3d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo5msipj2s2chttps://bsky.app/profile/aukehoekstra.bsky.social/post/3mnexfk3h3223For a while this was the "serious" position in the US. It's why people like @mzjacobson.bsky.social were attacked. Almost as if they were "heretics". Turns out the heretics were right.

Certainly true in the Netherlands (but we have winters where solar panels are close to useless).

So maybe this picture is a helpful reminder of where our priorities should lie.

Not sure his base cares, but can Americans pls wake up? [contains quote post or other embedded content]30 May 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:wcpapruceqef3d52qfclel3d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn3fwcihic25
