Household tasks

In an increasingly narrow interval between election campaigns, it should be remembered that we have entered the decisive years of the twenty-first century. To give just one example, scientists are terrified by the continual overcoming of ocean temperature records and no longer know how to explain the gravity of the situation. According to the United Nations, it is urgent to halve our CO2 emissions by 2030, but eleven pessimists accumulate per positive indicator. That's when there's data, because surprisingly, the latest official data in our area is 2021. As if hiding information removes the problem.

Just five and a half years to reach 2030, but (almost) everything to do. The main decarbonisation vectors are identified, but we cannot follow good wheels. By way of illustration, the UK has reduced its CO2 emissions by 52% since 1990. We, around 10%. 60% of electricity generated in Germany already comes from renewable sources. In CAPV only 11%. A massive replacement of gas boilers by heat pump systems is taking place in Northern Europe. In our case, almost no fingerprints. In electric mobility we are in one of the last wagons of a state that is the last blow in Europe. A lost medium, blocked in Byzantine discussions, listening in the back to the careless of those who seek to perpetuate the fossil system. That's a bargain, they say.

The transition discourse “no hurry” has meant that there is still no minimum planning to order renewables

Those who say they are going to take the government in the next legislature have had a confusing message. It seems that the transition must be made without anxiety and without haste, without endangering industry and its jobs. They show that they have understood nothing. Because the best way to put industrial jobs at risk is to do so slowly. Or does anyone believe that products produced by our industry can be sold once in Europe when the major European countries produce equivalent but decarbonised products?

If the situation is not characterised, I think there are strong blows. Either because of the climate confusion, or because of the socio-economic consequences of the lack of adaptation of the productive fabric or because of the disease of dependence on fossil energies abroad. We are multiplying the duties, yes, and dismantling the discourse “no haste” is one of the first. This has led, among other things, to the lack of a minimum planning plan for renewables. So there is where to push, without getting stuck in positions that will delay the transition.

Pictures of Porcelana Irabia

I had a friend who worked at Porcelana Irabia until they closed, and every time we went to a restaurant or a bar he looked at the mug and the ass of the dish to find out where the piece was made. I do the same thing when I go to the fairs of old things: I look where it is made,... [+]

The fraud of internationalization

Guggenheim Urdaibai: who listens to whom and for what?

In 2021 we began to hear the first echoes of the Guggenheim Urdaibai project. The then General Manager Unai Rementeria told us that it would be done yes or yes. To reinforce his claims, he left 40 million euros “shielded” by the time the museums were built. There it is!... [+]

Institutional responsibility for the protection of children

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
