Loganair has laid out its plans to deliver the world’s first hydrogen-fuelled commercial flight within the next five years as part of a UK-wide effort around the roll out of hydrogen infrastructure. Read more here ⬇️ https://buff.ly/4jXfD8q #tech #hydrogen #greenflights @FlyLoganair

A Brisbane-based aviation company is working with CQ University researchers to get Australia's first green hydrogen-powered commercial flight in the sky by 2027.

Piccard says a major airplane manufacturer wouldn't take on the risk of producing a Liquid Hydrogen Plane prototype such as Climate Impulse in case it fails. ”It’s my job to be a pioneer"

Have you heard the good news? The UK is investing in🌡 climate detection systems. So even as the US takes belligerent steps backwards, Europe is making investments & advancements.🌍 One thing is certain everyone needs to take this sh't far more seriously.⌛ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

A photo circulating online appears to show former governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, on a beach with sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, but this picture isn’t real. It was almost certainly created using ‘Grok’, the generative AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s startup, xAI.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Just a reminder that the German courts have ordered Musk to hand over X data pertaining to the most recent German elections in regards to election interference specifically. This needs to be covered more than it is. It's a huge red flag.

New report shows that Trump platforms, Twitter & TikTok, are serving up relentless far right garbage to German users ahead of national elections. Time for the EU to step in, to shut down these fraudulent grifters*. techcrunch.com/2025/02/19/s...

Can we not repost/screenshot Twitter content on here, please? There’s about a million reasons a lot of us left that site behind us.

BBC slammed for pulling film that 'humanised Palestinian children' - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/bbc-slammed-pulling-film-humanised-palestinian-children

Donald Tusk: “If we, Europeans, fail to spend big on defence now, we will be forced to spend 10 times more if we don’t prevent a wider war. As the Polish PM I’m entitled to say it loud and clear, since Poland already spends almost 5% of its GDP on defence. And we will continue to do so.”

New petition: "Increase defence spending to a minimum of 3% of GDP with immediate effect." Deadline 17 July 2025, created by denis allen #NewPetition

A former Trump adviser just claimed on #Newsnight that the US pays 70% of the NATO budget. This is completely untrue - the actual figure is 15.8%. The BBC really needs to up its game on challenging such "alternative facts". www.reuters.com/fact-check/u...

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

US threatening to shut down starlink in Ukraine. When every piece of infrastructure gets politicized and used as a mean for pushing negotiations, it is apparent that we need a diversity of solutions to survive. At least for us in Europe. But what starlink alternatives are there really?

This means nobody will trust Starlink ever again. Time for Europe to develop its own alternatives.

One Web is the next best competitor to Starlink. French owned, too. I would be astounded if every nation using Starlink has not already explored alternatives.

This is a wonderful way to boost starlink alternatives, scuttle any appetite for a resource deal, and blow apart the political capital being invested on quixotic bilateral negotiations with a warmongering adversary

Could Elon Musk turn off Ukraine’s Starlink access on a whim, to force the country to accept talks with Russia? News stories suggest that. The German government was skeptical and asked to look into alternatives from the start, according to documents we reported months ago. www.ftm.eu/articles/elo...

This is useful. Wondering how many organisations are rapidly hunting for alternatives to starlink to avoid service being cut off at the whim of Musk/Trump/Putin.

We need Starlink alternatives for Ukraine and Europe dig.watch/updates/ital...
