#solar #energy produced 22.1% of electricity in the #EU in June 02025, mostly. #Ember #photovoltaic, with wind at 15.8%, hydro at 12.8%, “bioenergy” (biomass?) at 3.5%, and “other renewables” (??) at 0.5%, meaning the EU electrical grid was majority renewables — but not EU energy consumption in general. Nuclear was #2 at 21.8%, so EU electricity was 76.5% from sustainable sources last month. That might mean marketed energy consumption in the EU was majority sustainable last month, I don’t know. Coal was down to 6.1%.

#news from March 10, 02020 how #Helen-Chu at the University of Washington discovered that covid had spread to #USA. She was running the Seattle Flu Study, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, in association with the Washington State Department of Health, whose state epidemiologist Dr. Scott Lindquist requested her to test for #covid, but was blocked by the FDA from telling the people who had it, because “the group was not certified to provide test results to anyone outside of their own investigators.” The FDA's repeated refusal was “because the lab was not certified as a clinical laboratory [just a research laboratory, which has much higher standards] under regulations established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a process that could take months.” The CDC was also trying to develop tests, but the tests they shipped were defective. Meanwhile the Seattle Flu Study sequenced the genome of the virus and discovered that a new variant had arisen. All of this was in late February. “On March 2, the Seattle Flu Study’s institutional review board at the University of Washington determined that it would be unethical for the researchers not to test and report the results in a public health emergency, Dr. Starita said. Since then, her laboratory has found and reported numerous additional cases, all of which have been confirmed.” But then, “on Monday night [presumably March 8], state regulators, enforcing Medicare rules, stepped in and again told them to stop until they could finish getting certified as a clinical laboratory, a process that could take many weeks.” #history

#news “A television sting claimed to expose a thriving “arms-for-alms” trade in #India yesterday when journalists apparently caught doctors on screen agreeing to amputate the limbs of beggars for as little as 10,000 rupees (£125). (...) There appears to be a thriving trade in Delhi where gangs kidnap beggars and force them to undergo surgery so that their deformities attract sympathy.”
