Meanwhile

Much has been said and written in recent months about large-scale renewable energy projects. In one way or another, the reasons why the opposition has materialised have been repeated once and for all, either because of the hunger of companies, the impact on biodiversity, the lack of planning, competition with agriculture, the lack of specific materials, etc. These issues that concern us all have nuances in the positions. Some say “not like that”, others say “not here” and some say “nowhere.” However, there is a widespread tendency among those who have been encouraged to speak and write on the subject (there are no few) to explain what must be done first in the energy transition; “first consumption must be reduced”, “first we must stop and think”, “first we must use degraded areas”, “first we must change the relations of force”. First of all, the same question comes to mind: meanwhile, what?

Meanwhile, thinking of Kortatu's phrase, Christian gas is going!

Faced with possible damage to the expansion of renewables, we should talk a little more about everyday damage to the non-extension of renewables.

Meanwhile, in the port of Santurtzi the influx of fossil gas worldwide has record historically. Meanwhile, to generate 70% of the electricity we consume in Hego Euskal Herria, we burned gas, a figure that in CAPV increased last year to 90% scandalous. And also, to some extent, through fracking, even though we scream “fracking neither here nor anywhere.” In the meantime, we have not reduced consumption significantly, let alone cut it. Meanwhile, in Euskal Herria last year we emitted an average of 8 tons of CO2 per person, many of them generating electricity and increasing the climate emergency and the biodiversity crisis. Meanwhile, public money is invested in regasification, in gas thermal power plants or in gas exploitation outside the Basque Country. And although little is said about it, the profits of these businesses pay a significant part of public aid for renewable self-consumption. Meanwhile, the price escalation caused by gas starvation has brought us difficulties, but poor countries that have not been able to maintain the price hike have brought them severe electricity cuts, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.

In this regard, I believe that in the face of the possible damage to the spread of renewables, we should talk a little more about the everyday damage of the non-propagation of renewables, while we are discussing actions to reduce the size or consumption of renewables, the vicious and unbearable cycle of daily life is still there. First -- you have to do it all at once! Let us be careful and with the best of all, but let us not use the debates to delay the transition, while the fossils go to the void.

Finals on the horizon

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?

Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]

Health workers against the Basque Country, health workers against patients

The demands of Basque Country in Osakidetza are abusive. No doubt. We are putting and mobilizing health professionals in this line. Without being against the Basque Country, with little intention to learn and much less to use.

It's not the only elephant in the class.

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]

Vice President Trump and Ukrainian President Putin

The group to be examined

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
