Felipe VI of Spain can (constitutionally) do the funniest thing right now.

That said, everyone on this planet needs to be building renewables, grid storage, bike lanes and railways ASAP to shake off oil dependency.

seems like China's been ahead of the curve as usual

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

On this particular front Europe is doing OK as well, but it definitely needs to build more, faster, and now. And to do that it needs to build more ties with China. Honestly looking at the (lack of) EU response over the latest US war crimes I'm not holding my breath here.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago

Yeah, stronger ties with China is really the obvious way out for Europe. It's absolutely incredible to me that the EU is still trying to suck up to the US.
