In deze aflevering gaan we met Ellie Lust op zoek naar de essentie van Pride: niet alleen een feest, maar ook een herinnering aan wat er op het spel staat. Waarom blijft die zichtbaarheid noodzakelijk? En waarom is het belangrijk dat de politie ook zichtbaar aanwezig is bij de Pride? En is er ooit een moment dat we het niet meer gaan vieren?Ellie Lust houdt een pleidooi om het niet meer over acceptatie te hebben, inclusiviteit voor diversiteit te plaatsen, ze deelt hoe het vroeger thuis ging en roept de straight allies naast degene te staan die het nodig heeft. Ze deelt haar zorgen, maar ook haar visie: wat er moet gebeuren om weer vooruit te komen, richting een land waar gelijkheid niet afhangt van de dag op de kalender, of de plek waar je werkt, woont of liefhebt.
We zijn aan de grond genageld van de vele tips voor het NIET knagen aan je nagelriemen en al helemaal NIET aan die van je tenen. Gwen stond met een half been in een Netflix-serie, maar helaas verliep dit net even iets anders. Net zoals het item waar het over ging trouwens… Voor Ger gaat het deze week over vliegtuigschaamte, of ja, het gebrek aan schaamte in het vliegtuig. Als laatste: hoe zorg je ervoor dat je je schoonmoeder niet uit het raam gooit? Klaar voor een aflevering boordevol handige do’s and don’ts én misschien wel de gênantste Spill the Tea aller tijden?

Milgrams experiment på 60-talet testade människors vilja att ge en "elev" elstötar ända till döds när de var under handledning av en "auktoritet". Målet var att bevisa tyskarnas unika ondska genom att först skaffa grunddata på amerikaner. Det visade sig att i stort sett alla amerikanska kandidater var villiga att tillfoga elstötar på tortyrnivå och 65 procent ända till döds. Syftet att testa tyskar övergavs. Det finns många exempel i vårt samhälle på vad medmänniskor, politiker och byråkrater är villiga att utsätta sina medmänniskor för med stöd av experter, lag, och auktoritet.

Två stora parallella satsningar i norra Sverige vill revolutionera stålindustrin. Men det finns hinder på vägen. President Trump har nyligen infört nya höga ståltullar och satsningarna brottas med förseningar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Stålrevolution i NorrlandStålindustrin är en av de allra största utsläpparna av koldioxid och sen några år tillbaka pågår en mindre revolution inom området. Målet är att producera stål med så litet fossilt utsläpp som möjligt och Sverige står i blickfånget i omställningen.Två projekt i varsin fil på samma vägJust nu håller uppstickaren Stegra på att bygga ett nytt stålverk och en ny vätgasanläggning i Boden. Finansmannen Harald Mix, som också låg bakom Northvolt, är en av grundarna. Samtidigt tuffar Hybrit på. Samarbetet mellan statliga gruvbolaget LKAB, statliga Vattenfall och stålbolaget SSAB - som delvis också har statligt ägande genom LKAB och finska staten. Men båda projekten brottas med olika utmaningar och frågan är vem som kommer att först komma i mål - eller vem som vill komma först?Nya ståltullar Nyligen införde president Trump tullar på 50 procent för allt stål som USA importerar från EU och andra länder. Frågan är hur de svenska satsningarna påverkas av de höga tullarna och hur risken ser ut för att stål från andra länder nu kommer flöda in i Europa och dumpa priserna?Programledare:Erika MårtenssonProducent:Olof WijnbladhMedverkande och röster i programmet:Jens Kärrman, journalist Dagens IndustriGert Nilson, teknisk direktör JernkontoretJan Moström, vd LKABNiklas Johansson, kommunikationsdirektör LKABHenrik Henriksson, vd StegraHarald Mix, finansmanMaria Perhard, ScaniaAssia Gaouar, riskkapitalfonden DemeterStefan Löfven, fd statsminister (s)ekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Good news from the offshore wind industry today. Vattenfall has named a new leader for its wind business division. Catrin Jung will take over as Head of Business Area Wind starting July first. Jung currently leads the company's offshore wind operations. She replaces Helene Bistrom, who is leaving the company. Jung joined Vattenfall in two thousand two. She has managed some of the company's largest investments in recent years. The wind division handles both offshore and onshore wind projects. It also manages large solar and battery projects. Jung says staying focused on fossil freedom is more important than ever in these uncertain times. The Netherlands reached a major renewable energy milestone last year. Renewable energy made up nearly twenty percent of the country's total energy use in twenty twenty four. That's up from seventeen point four percent in twenty twenty three. Statistics Netherlands released the preliminary data. The increase comes mainly from new offshore wind turbines and more biodiesel use in transportation. The overall renewable energy consumption reached three hundred fifty eight petajoules. That's a fifteen percent increase from twenty twenty three. Biomass remained the largest renewable source. Wind came second, followed by solar power. Renewables were mostly used for electricity at sixty percent. Heat and cooling accounted for twenty eight percent. Transport fuels made up twelve percent. The share of renewables has more than doubled compared to five years ago. A major wind energy project in Quebec has secured its funding. Invenergy and a consortium of 209 municipalities and territories in Eastern Quebec announced the closing of one point one billion dollars Canadian in financing. The money will fund the PPAW 1 Wind Energy Centre. The work will create three hundred fifty jobs during construction. Construction will happen throughout twenty twenty five and twenty twentysix. Commercial operation is expected in late twenty twenty six. Once operational, the project will add three hundred fifty megawatts to the local grid. France has achieved a renewable energy first. EDF Renewables has fully commissioned the country's first floating wind farm. The Provence Grand Large wind farm has a power capacity of twenty five megawatts. The farm features three floating wind turbines installed seventeen kilometers off the France's Mediterranean coast This is the first floating wind farm in France and across the entire Mediterranean basin. The project uses unique anchoring technology. Siemens Gamesa built the turbines. They're installed on floats with tight anchor lines. The technology was inspired by systems used to stabilize oil platforms. SBM Offshore and IFP Energies Nouvelles developed this technology. It's suitable for deep sea areas and provides excellent float stability. Bernard Fontana, Chairman and CEO of EDF, says the project helps diversify renewable energy sources. He calls it an important project for France's energy sovereignty. The experience will help with construction of EDF's second floating wind farm, Mediterranee Grand Large. EDF was awarded that contract in December twenty twenty four.

Dans les années à venir, des milliers d'éoliennes atteindront leur fin de vie. Et avec elles, des tonnes de matériaux à recycler. Si les pales et turbines peuvent être fondues, ces opérations sont coûteuses en énergie. Le fournisseur suédois Vattenfall a décidé d'anticiper cette problématique autrement, en s'engageant à recycler 100 % de son parc éolien d'ici 2030. Pour y parvenir, l'entreprise a lancé, avec la Fondation néerlandaise du design, un appel à projets original : donner une seconde vie aux nacelles, ces imposants blocs techniques au sommet des mâts. La réponse la plus audacieuse vient des Pays-Bas, avec le cabinet d'architectes Superuse, en collaboration avec le studio Blade-Made. Leur idée : transformer une nacelle en véritable habitat résidentiel. Et le résultat a été dévoilé à la Dutch Design Week 2024, sous le nom de "Tiny House Nestle".Issue d'une ancienne éolienne V80 de 2 MW, installée en Autriche en 2005, la nacelle a quitté ses cent mètres de hauteur pour se poser sur la terre ferme, métamorphosée en mini-maison autonome. Dix mètres de long, quatre de large, trois de haut : un espace de 36 m² aménagé avec soin. Bois clair, matériaux recyclés, cuisine, salle de bains, coin nuit… et des équipements dernier cri : pompe à chaleur, panneaux solaires, chauffe-eau et ventilation intelligente. L'isolation est soignée, les fenêtres en triple vitrage, et le tout respecte les normes d'habitation. Une tiny house au style industriel et durable, qui peut devenir bureau, annexe ou studio de jardin. Une preuve concrète que le recyclage peut aussi rimer avec design et ingéniosité. Et une inspiration pour repenser nos infrastructures… même une fois leur mission achevée. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Det här är bara utvecklingen, den får vi vika oss för! Så beskriver statsvetaren Evert Vedung den inställning som gjorde att Sverige på kort tid lyckades skapa ett överskott av elektricitet, med ett högt pris för naturen och samerna. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Programmet sändes första gången 20220830.Sveriges elhistoria är den om tidig och snabb utbyggnad av olika energislag som kunde producera el till låga priser. Om innovationer, framsynthet och långsiktighet, men också om naturvärden som offrades i moderniseringens namn. Har vi idag något att lära av den historien, när nu elproduktionen i landet behöver öka kraftigt och snabbt, för att vi ska nå klimatmålen och samtidigt ha en ekonomi i tillväxt?I tre program besöker Vetenskapsradion några olika elhistoriska platser i Sverige. I denna första del bland annat Horndal i Dalarna, som var den sydliga slutpunkten för den första kraftledningen mellan norra och södra Sverige, vilken togs i drift 1936. Horndal är än idag en stor knutpunkt för kraftledningar och inte minst därför har Google planer på att bygga ett gigantiskt datacenter där, som kommer att sluka oerhörda mängder el.Vi får också höra historien om hur det spektakulära Stora Sjöfallet i Lappland offrades för vattenkraften.Medverkande: Magnus Carlson, förvaltare Vattenfall; Kerstin Enflo, ekonomhistoriker Lunds Universitet; Lasse Wallbing, kraftverksveteran och aktiv i Porjus arkivkommitté; Lars-Erik Lindström på museet i Krångede; Evert Vedung, professor emeritus i statsvetenskap på Uppsala Universitet; Börje Forslund, lokalhistoriker från Avesta samt Bengt Söderkvist, boende i Horndal.Reporter: Mats Carlsson-LénartProducent: Björn Gunérbjorn.guner@sr.se
Call it the holy grail: producing steel without emitting greenhouse gases. In Sweden, three companies – SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall – have been working on it for years under the name HYBRITE. With a pilot plant in operation, the proof of concept has been delivered. Is the production of so-called ‘green steel' ready for scale-up? And if not, what challenges remain? To answer these questions, I'm joined by Mikael Nordlander, Director of Partnerships at Vattenfall and one of the brains behind HYBRITE.

De Week van Energeia is dé nieuwspodcast voor de energieprofessional. Elke vrijdag praten redacteuren van Energeia je in ongeveer twintig minuten bij over de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in de complexe energiewereld. Met deze week: het rondetafelgesprek in de Tweede Kamer over de vraag ‘Hoe houden we de energierekening betaalbaar?’. Aan het gesprek namen onder andere kennisorganisatie TNO, de Consumentenbond, het Nibud en energiebedrijven Essent en Vattenfall deel. Eén van de adviezen aan de Tweede Kamer: schrap de energiebelasting op elektriciteit. Over welke mogelijkheden de elf partijen nog meer zien, vertelt redacteur Katrijn de Ronde. Hoofdredacteur Wouter Hylkema licht toe wat de energie- en grondstoffentransitie te maken heeft met het onderzoek van het kabinet naar de mogelijkheid van een Derde Maasvlakte. En waarom het energiesysteem kwetsbaarder wordt voor cyberaanvallen en Nederlandse bedrijven zich daartegen moeten wapenen.

I Forsmarksområdet i Uppland finns tre kärnkraftsreaktorer och där finns också Sveriges kanske tätaste population av havsörn. Flera faktorer tycks gynna örnarna. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Området kring kärnkraftsreaktorerna och den anläggning som ska förvara avfallet från hela det svenska kärnkraftsprogrammet i Forsmark hanteras och regleras på särskilda sätt och det verkar finnas flera faktorer i den här storskaliga satsningen på kärnkraft som har gynnat havsörnarna.Innan kärnkraftverket byggdes i början på 1970-talet minskade antalet fritidsboende i området när Vattenfall köpte upp och rev många sommarstugor. Det rörliga friluftslivet har också begränsats eftersom folk inte får röra sig hursomhelst i området av säkerhetsskäl. Det har gynnat havsörnarna som är känsliga för mänsklig störning.Eftersom kärnkraftverket har släppt ut varmvatten i kustvattnet har fiskar kunnat växa sig större och det isfria vattnet har förbättrat övervintringsmöjligheterna för sjöfågel, vilket sammantaget har gynnat födotillgången för havsörnen.Men där är inte bara gott om havsörn. Det övriga fågellivet och djurlivet är också mycket rikt, enligt forskning som har följt naturens utveckling i Forsmarksområdet i flera decennier.Reporter: Gustaf Klaringustaf.klarin@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

Visit build turbines.com today. Now here's your hosts, Allen Hall, Joel Saxum, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Allen Hall: If you checked your mailbox or checked online, the new PES Wind magazine is out and it is full of great content this quarter. There's a very interesting article because we've been talking a lot about offshore wind and some of the problems with offshore wind as one of them is corrosion. Just betw between us engineers, it comes up quite a bit. Like, why are we making things outta steel that you don't need to make outta steel, why you're not making them out of plastic? And that's what, uh, the people at, uh, Nylacast engineer products are doing, um, on some hang off clamps, Joel, uh, which are traditionally really cheap clamps that are made outta steel and rust like [00:01:00] crazy. Joel Saxum: Yeah. You know, from my oil and gas offshore background, that was one of the things that was always a pain in the butt. IIRM contracts, as they call 'em, offshore inspection, repair, and maintenance. There's so much focus on coatings, paint coatings, paint coatings, and it's a special coating, and it's this, and you can only apply it during this, and everything has to be painted. And if you can't allow rust to start anywhere on an offshore facility, it's in a high corrosion environment, right? You have salt water, salt spray temperatures, it's always kind of wet. It's a marine environment. And so erosion moves very fast, right? So in the, in the oil and gas world, they started creating some things out of like HDPE, which is high density, polyethylene, plastic. Um, it's even so dense. You can mill it. It's really cool stuff. But that's what, um, the PO the kind of Nylacast engineered products is working with some of these plastic products to replace some of those components in offshore wind turbines that are a pain in the butt to maintain. So when we talk about these hang off clamps. [00:02:00] They grab the cables and other things and they, and they hold them in place in the turbine as need be. If those are made outta steel and have a coating on 'em, and you get a little bit of vibration and that coating starts to wear away or starts to get a little bit of rust, you've got a huge problem. You've gotta take the cables out, you gotta take the things off, you've gotta replace 'em. You gotta either replace them or you gotta grind on 'em and repaint them. It is a nightmare. So they're, what they're doing with these, um, uh, hang off clamps that are, you know, basically plastic instead of metallic. Or a plastic type instead of metallic is there, they're removing that need for IRM contracts in the future. Allen Hall: I think it's great. It makes a ton of sense. And I'm surprised you haven't seen more of this because, uh, nylon and and derivatives in nylon are easily recyclable. It does fit all the things that wind energy is looking for. It doesn't. Rust recyclable, easy, lightweight, simple. We need to be moving this direction. So if you haven't checked out PES Wind, you go to PS wind.

De Week van Energeia is dé nieuwspodcast voor de energieprofessional. Elke vrijdag praten redacteuren van Energeia je in ongeveer twintig minuten bij over de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in de complexe energiewereld. Met deze week: bedrijven die transportcapaciteit op het stroomnet nodig hebben, moesten daar vorig jaar langer op wachten. Dit, ondanks de inspanningen van netbeheerders om het net uit te breiden. Dat blijkt uit het overzicht ‘De stand van de uitvoering’, van Netbeheer Nederland. Hoe het er precies voor staat met de elektriciteitsnetten in Nederland, vertelt redacteur David Duijnmayer. Hoofdredacteur Wouter Hylkema licht toe waarom de Tweede Kamer een vrijstelling wil van de CO₂-heffing voor industriële bedrijven die plannen om te elektrificeren niet kunnen uitvoeren door netcongestie. En waarom energiebedrijf Vattenfall bezwaar heeft gemaakt tegen zijn eigen vergunning voor de bouw van windpark IJmuiden Ver Bèta.

This organization has become the premier forum for the wind turbine blade experts to collaborate, share knowledge, and drive innovation in areas like structural design, Lightning protection and blade inspection technologies. Welcome to Uptime Spotlight. Shining light on wind energy's brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Birgit, welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight. Birgit Junker: Thank you very much and thanks for having me. Allen Hall: I want to start off by looking back a little bit into 2013. What were some of the challenges that when farm owners were facing with Blade technology and maintenance that led you to create the global Blade group? Birgit Junker: To start with Rege from Vattenfall and I, we were relatively new on the owner operator side. And we both found that when we were speaking to our colleagues, they, their eyes just glazed over every single time we said Blade. Cause nobody knew anything about blade. When I was hired at Eon I came from from Siemens. I was hired at Eon. I was told that they didn't have blade issues. So I should expect to work about 80%, 75 percent on blades. And the rest of the time I should be spending on a drivetrain. 10 years later, when I left, there were 10 blade people. And I never ever had to look at a drivetrain. That was the attitude then. Blades were not a problem. We didn't have blade problems. Blades were like that black box that you had. You just went out there and counted that they were all there. And you listened just to make sure that there wasn't anything strange going on. And about, you 99. 9 percent of the time, nothing happened. There was nothing wrong. We even had contracts that said that blades were maintenance free. But then Reg and I started on the owner operator side. We came, we both came from OEMs. I've done catastrophic failure investigation. I've done field failures. I've done all sorts of things for what, 10 years before that. And knew that we did have blade problems. Ian just hadn't found out yet. So when I started, Reg and I, we decided that we needed to talk to one another because we couldn't talk to colleagues. Joel Saxum: Birgit, from experiences in the field I would, I want to follow up with that as a hard second. Because so many people Don't understand even today what's going on in the with blades. Like I'll give you an anecdotal problem. I was in a field doing an RCA and out there with a site supervisor who was in charge of 120 odd turbines, big wind farms in the States, right? And he was looking up. He said, yeah, those blades, he's they're just, big plastic wings in the skies. And I was like, they're not actually plastic. And he goes what do you mean?

Vattenfall väntas besluta om de ska investera i ny kärnkraft långt efter nästa val. Men de tror sig ”veta tidigare” – om kalkylen går ihop.
In dieser Woche hat die Branche der Offshore-Windparkbetreiber die Bilanz zum vergangenen Jahr vorgestellt. Dabei wurde klar: Die Ausbauziele bis 2030 werden wohl knapp verfehlt. Ron-David Heinen erklärt in der aktuellen Folge im Gespräch mit Rouben Bathke die Hintergründe. Außerdem wagt Philip Akoto einen Blick nach Skandinvaien, wo mit Equinor und Vattenfall zwei der größten Energiekonzern Europas ihre Bilanzen vorgelegt haben. Hören Sie rein!
Immer freitags frisch aus dem Podcast-Studio von Boyens Medien: der „Wochenblick“. Jörg Lotze und Maurice Dannenberg in „Studio 2“ schauen, unterstützt von den Reportern aus der Redaktion, auf die Themen, die Dithmarschen und die Dithmarscher bewegen. Und das sind die Themen der heutigen Ausgabe: - Von außen ist nicht viel zu sehen: Aber im früheren Kernkraftwerk in Brunsbüttel laufen die Rückbauarbeiten geräuschlos voran. Es dauert noch mindestens zehn Jahre, bis auf der Fläche, auf dem jetzt das Gebäude des eigentlichen Kernkraftwerks steht, Gras wächst. - 8800 Grundsteuerbescheide hat die Heider Stadtverwaltung auf den Weg gebracht. Für die Bürger kann das bedeuten: Einer zahlt mehr, einer weniger, und bei anderen ist der Betrag unverändert. Für die Stadt bleiben die Gesamteinnahmen gleich. - Der Eiswolf startet wieder, am 24. Januar in Dithmarschen. Er zählt zu den bedeutendsten Militär-Wettkämpfen in Europa, was auch an den internationalen Teilnehmern aus Finnland, Tschechien, Schweiz, Frankreich und Dänemark zu sehen ist. - Auch künftig werden über die Aktivregion diverse gemeinnützige Projekte gefördert, und zwar über das sogenannte Regionalbudget. - Magnus Ehlers aus dem Redaktionsteam von Boyens Medien präsentiert ab dem 27. Januar ZWOzuEINS, den ersten Sport-Podcast aus Dithmarschen. In diesem gibt es jeden Monat einen exklusiven Einblick in die Dithmarscher Sportwelt. Die Hörer lernen Spieler und Funktionäre aus einem ganz anderen Blickwinkel kennen. ZWOzuEINS erscheint immer am letzten Montag des Monats - überall, wo es Podcasts gibt, und auf boyens-medien.de. In diesem Wochenblick erzählt Magnus Ehlers über Konzept und seine ersten Gäste.

Industry news lightning fast. Your hosts, Allen Hall, Joel Saxum, and Phil Totaro discuss the latest deals, mergers, and alliances that will shape the future of wind power. News Flash is brought to you by IntelStor. For market intelligence that generates revenue, visit www. intelstor com. Allen Hall: First up, Swedish utility Vattenfall is investing 5 billion euros in Germany through 2028, showing major commitment after selling their Berlin heating business. The company plans to build 500 megawatts of solar parks and 300 megawatts of large batteries annually. Two major offshore wind parks, the Nordelake 1 and 2, will add 1. 6 gigawatts of wind capacity. And they're also investing 500 million euros in EV charging infrastructure. Wow, Phil, Vattenfall's going a little crazy in Germany at the moment. This is a big investment. Philip Totaro: Well, and it's coming at a kind of an interesting time because, there's been some, uh, hard to say whether it's mild or moderate disarray in the German government at this point particularly in terms of the level of support that is, is gonna be provided long term to, to renewables. But Vattenfall at least understands and appreciates the fact that, they've got a pipeline that, that's pretty big besides the Nordlicht 1 and 2 projects. I think they've got an additional 1. 5 gigawatts of onshore wind and or solar and, and battery pipeline That they have in, in Germany. So, they're, they're really swinging for the fences here and committing a rather large amount of capital at 5 billion Euro. So that's it, it's, again, it, it could be challenging short term timeframe, but long term they're positioning themselves to be, as big of a player in, in Germany as they, they are in some of the other markets outside of, of Sweden. Where they operate. Joel Saxum: I think a big part of this five billion euros as well as that Nordlicht one and two for 1. 6 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity, because that's just a lot of money to build that big of wind farms offshore. But when you look onshore in Germany, it's a bit harder to develop wind. You have permitting issues and those kind of things, but the tracks of land, it's not like we're here in the United States where we can put 100, 150 turbines out. The tracks of land are smaller, The setback limits are a lot bigger. They have different rules, right? It's a little operations and maintenance is a bit more difficult, more expensive because you have, it's like you have to test your lightning protection systems every two years. You, you have to have multiple ice detection systems. If you're within a certain setback of a road, there's, there's all kinds of little nuances in Germany there. But Vattenfall clearly sees the the advantages of doing some business there. And I know that Germany as a whole. Like you said, Phil, they're in a little bit of a turmoil right now, but they need it. So good on them. Allen Hall: In our second story, Octopus Energy has surpassed two billion dollars in offshore wind investment...

Pardalote Consulting - https://www.pardaloteconsulting.comWeather Guard Lightning Tech - www.weatherguardwind.comIntelstor - https://www.intelstor.comWind Energy O&M Australia Conference - https://www.windaustralia.com Allen Hall: Well, Joel, we just don't seem to have the luck of some people, I'm telling you. Because a gentleman down in North Carolina found a 20 bill laying on the ground outside of a gas station and used it to buy, of all things, a scratch off lottery ticket. And that ticket was worth one million dollars. Joel Saxum: You know, Allen, sometimes they say, you gotta play to win. And if someone, if some, by some luck of chance, you get 20 and it's not, you're playing with the house's money, then. I think that, uh, maybe we need to just keep our heads on the ground a little bit more. Allen Hall: He had the opportunity to buy all kinds of lottery tickets. I don't know if you go into a gas station in North Carolina, there's several kinds there. He couldn't find the one that he wanted. So he ended up buying just one that seemed okay. And that was the winning one. So if he had chosen the ticket that they had, the ticket that he wanted, he wouldn't be a million dollars richer. Now, the real funny thing about this is they asked this gentleman, well, what are you going to do with all that money? And it says, we are going to head straight to Golden Corral and eat everything they've got. So he's gonna spend like 40 bucks worth of it? It's hard to spend a million dollars at Golden Corral. But, however, I, it did force me to take a look at the dessert menu. Cause that's one thing about Golden Corral is that they have a lot of desserts. It's like, it's a big dessert bar thing. And If you, I will read some of these to you and go, wow, okay, this is not bad, right? Chocolate dip marshmallow skewers. Come on. I'm out on that. No way. So they have cakes and pies. They always have cakes and pies. All right. All right. Right? Pumpkin pie, peanut butter pie. The Sweet Home Carolina cake, which is popular. Uh, carrot cake. Are you a carrot cake fan? I am, but it has to have good frosting. It's gotta be a cream cheese frosting. Otherwise, I'm out. Carrot cake is an acquired taste. I think it's an American taste, weirdly enough. Now, do you want it with walnuts? No walnuts. No nuts. I want it clean and clear. And I have had one with a little bit of ginger in it that was Joel Saxum: really good. Allen Hall: Oh, the ginger is terrific in carrot cake. I have to admit, I'm a recent convert on that one because I thought, there's no reason to put ginger into a cake. What are we doing? But it is quite good. So this, this gentleman is going to be a golden corral quite a while. I wonder what the calorie intake is going to be in his life for the next couple of years.

The UK's latest renewable auction has given a significant boost to the offshore wind sector. With a record budget of 1. 5 billion pounds, the auction awarded contracts to 131 wind, solar, and tidal projects, capable of generating almost 10 gigawatts of capacity. Notable winners include Orsted's Hornsea 4 project in Iberdrola's East Anglia two, and three projects. However, analysts note that this still falls short of the capacity needed to meet the country's target of 60 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030. The UK has reached a significant milestone in wind power generation capacity. The country has surpassed the 30 gigawatt mark of combined offshore and onshore wind installations. This milestone was achieved with the commissioning of SSE Renewable's 443 megawatt Viking Wind Farm. in Shetland this past June. According to Renewable UK, the UK's current wind capacity can meet the annual power demand of over 26 million homes and reduce carbon emissions by more than 35 million tons per year. In Sweden, Vattenfall has decided to pause the development of the Swedish Krikers Flak offshore wind power project due to unfavorable investment conditions. This project, located about 30 kilometers south of Trollberg, was estimated to generate 2. 7 terawatt hours of fossil free electricity annually. Fattenfall cited the lack of a reasonable connection point to the national grid offshore as a key factor in this decision. U. S. wind energy investment has seen a significant boost in the first half of 2024, according to Bloomberg NEF's Renewable Energy Investment Tracker. While solar investment fell by 12 percent to 26. 5 billion, wind projects secured 12 billion in funding. This surge has contributed to a 63 percent increase in total renewable energy investment in the U. S. Orsted, the Danish company developing Rhode Island's first commercial offshore wind project, has announced plans to expand its presence in the Ocean State. The company will open a new engineering, procurement, and construction hub in Providence, relocating to a 17, 000 square foot office building. Orsted also plans to double its existing 100 person workforce in Rhode Island in the coming years. Over in New Jersey, the leading light wind project is facing challenges. The company has requested a pause from the New Jersey Board of Publ...

Pardalote Consulting - https://www.pardaloteconsulting.comWeather Guard Lightning Tech - www.weatherguardwind.comIntelstor - https://www.intelstor.com Allen Hall: Our friend from the UK, Derek Rutherford, ran a poll, and he sent this to me not long ago, and I just have forgotten to put it up here, but he ran a poll about what are the biscuits that are most likely to be consumed when out on a UK wind farm. And a biscuit in the United States doesn't mean anything, and a biscuit in the UK means a cookie, it's a cracker cookie, it's a common, it is a cookie, like an oatmeal cookie, that's the way I, Taste it, that's what it tastes like. There's really no equivalent in the United States. So they ran a poll, it was very interesting because there, it was a definite choice here. So there was four, rich tea, bourbon, hobnob, and fig roll. And I think I have tried fig roll it's not my thing. Philip Totaro: Chocolate digestive isn't even one of the how do, this is not a legitimate poll. I'm sorry this, if chocolate digestive is not on the list, then we have a problem. Joel Saxum: That's what we, that we eat, there's a box of them in the, in our living room right here, so again, my better half from Newfoundland they were the last British colony in Canada. So we drink tea and have digestives. Allen Hall: When you have tea, you can't have chocolate and tea. Those two just do not go together. It's so uncouth. The Queen would never do that. It's almost like gingerbread. So the survey results are really fascinating. 61 percent of your wind turbine technicians in the UK prefer hobnobs. Philip Totaro: Alright, that I believe. But again, they weren't given the option of chocolate digestives, so I still think this is not a legitimate poll. Joel Saxum: He did throw some chocolate in there because the bourbon is chocolate. It has a chocolate cream filling. , right? It's not bourbon flavored. It doesn't have bourbon in it. Philip Totaro: Although if it did, that might be number one, Joel. Joel Saxum: And when farm sites, I think that the bourbon cookie is, it's named after some like French Aristo aristocracy. Allen Hall: But I, if we're gonna ask the same question in the United States, I'm not even sure what the list would consist of. And I think that was what my, piqued my curiosity is if we're talking about cookies, we get rid of all the illicit things, right? Now we're down to Oreos, some sort of chocolate chip cookie. What else? Twinkies? Ho Hos? Joel Saxum: You got to say, you got to say what's for, what's the most popular lunch thing, right? It's going to change. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like the most popular lunch I would say probably in Texas is. Burritos or tacos? Because there's literally taco trucks that pull up to O& M buildings and sell tacos at lunchtime. Allen Hall: That's just true. See, but there's a difference in the UK because they have a break, right? There's a there's a morning tea break that happens. Yeah, like America we have to work through till dinnertime, but if you were to have a break in America Say at 10 a. m. right? You say, okay, I've been working since six. It's 10 a. m. It's black coffee. It's just black coffee. Oh, that it may be just black coffee.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, June 27th, 2023. Fight Laugh Feast Conference - Ark Encounter This year, our Fight Laugh Feast Conference is at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky on The Politics of Six Day Creation. The politics of six day creation is the difference between a fixed standard of justice and a careening standard of justice, the difference between the corrosive relativism that creates mobs and anarchy and the freedom of objectivity, truth, and due process. The politics of six day creation establishes the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word for all of life: from what is a man or a woman, when does human life begin, and how is human society best organized? Come hear Ken Ham, Pastor Doug Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Dr. Gordon Wilson, me and more, and of course a live CrossPolitic show! Mark your calendars for October 11th-14th, as we fight, laugh, and feast, with beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, our Rowdy Christian Merch, and a Sabbath Feast to wrap up the occasion. Maybe an infant baptism while we’re at it! Visit fightlaughfeast.com for more information! https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/anniversary-roe-v-wade-being-overturned-gop-rep-promotes-bill-help-expectant On anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned, GOP Rep. promotes bill to help expectant mothers On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned, Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach promoted a proposed bill titled "The HOPE Act" that promotes helping expectant mothers. "It is crucial that women are supported when facing an unexpected pregnancy, which is why I have introduced The Health, Opportunity, Protecting Life, Education (HOPE) Act, which improves access to prenatal telehealth care, supports positive alternatives to abortion, and improves access to information for expectant mothers, providing tangible ways to help women feel confident during and beyond their pregnancy," Fischbach wrote in an opinion piece published by The Hill. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion and allowing individual states to decide for themselves on whether to restrict or allow abortions. The HOPE Act would provide funding for grants and other activities related to maternal care. It would also establish informed consent and parental notification requirements for abortion providers. "The HOPE Act creates a pilot grant program to provide support and equipment like blood pressure monitors, scales, and portable fetal heart rate monitors to community health providers," Fischbach wrote. "Increasing telehealth options gives expectant mothers the flexibility they need to receive the care they deserve." It would also prohibit any government funding going to Planned Parenthood. https://www.foxnews.com/media/bud-light-sponsors-toronto-pride-parade-naked-men-children Bud Light sponsors Toronto Pride parade attended by naked men, children Bud Light is serving as an official sponsor of the Toronto Pride parade, where video footage shows naked men standing around and riding bicycles in clear view of children attending the event. The footage, captured by Beth Baisch of the Post Millennial, shows dozens of attendees riding past a large cheering crowd. The fully naked bikers, some covered in paint or tattoos, wave back at the crowd. One naked man high-fives an onlooker while another peddles a recumbent bike with a gold blow-up swan adorned around his neck. A second video shows a group of naked men with hats standing in a circle amidst the crowd. Several children walk past the group of men with their families. Another clip shows a person wearing a giant penis costume that covers his entire head. The camera captures a young girl sitting in a stroller and staring toward the phallic-costumed individual. Other videos show a group of naked men playing and rinsing themselves off alongside a fountain surrounded by kids. Meanwhile, a stage, clearly adorned with Bud Light branding, featured scantily clad dancers wearing fishnets, nipple stickers and strange sock-like masks. The company's website notes that this year's sponsorship is representative of a longstanding partnership with the Pride event. "Bud Light Canada has been a proud partner of Pride Toronto for the last 10 years. This year, we're commemorating this milestone with Pride Toronto by featuring them on our can design, as well as continuing as the official beer sponsor of the festival," the beer brand's website states. According to the website, Bud Light Canada also provides $100,000 to various organizations that support the LGBTQUA2S+ community across Canada and has created a range of commemorative Pride beer cans to celebrate the collaboration. The partnership comes nearly three months after Bud Light received massive backlash for partnering with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. The decision angered consumers and the brand saw a significant decrease in sales, resulting in billions of dollars in lost market value. In early April, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth attempted to douse the flames with a lengthy statement to customers. "We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer," he said in part. "My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage." Despite losing business, Bud Light continued to anger customers for co-sponsoring an "all-ages Pride event" in Flagstaff, Arizona, on June 17. The party, called "Pride in the Pines," included drag queens and other performers, and listed Bud Light as one of the companies sponsoring the June 17 event. (Bud Light was initially mentioned prominently in one of the posters.) The event is listed as a "family festival event" and a family-friendly, "safe space" for all visitors. https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-springs-club-q-nonbinary-shooting-suspect-pleads-guilty-murder-charges Colorado Club Q 'nonbinary' shooter sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murder Club Q shooting suspect Anderson Lee Aldrich was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murder and attempted murder charges during an arraignment hearing Monday morning, avoiding the prospect of a public trail just seven months after the deadly Colorado attack. Aldrich, who public defenders have said identifies as nonbinary and prefers to be described using they/them pronouns, is accused of fatally shooting five people and wounding 17 others at the LGBTQ+ nightclub Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Nov. 19, 2022. The suspect, whom the judge referred to as "Mx. Aldrich" during Monday’s arraignment hearing, accepted a plea agreement for a life sentence without the possibility of parole in exchange for pleading guilty to five counts of first-degree murder. Aldrich also pleaded guilty Monday to 46 counts of attempted murder in the first degree. The suspect pleaded no contest to felony and misdemeanor charges of bias-motivated crimes. "Because of the evidence presented I believe there is a high probability of being convicted at trial to those counts, and so I am pleading no contest or nolo contendere," Aldrich told the court Monday, explaining the no contest plea. In an interview from jail, Aldrich reportedly admitted to The Associated Press to being on a "very large plethora of drugs" and abusing steroids at the time, expressing regret for the attack and adding that suggesting the shooting was motivated by hate was "completely off base." In court hearings earlier this year, law enforcement testified that Aldrich ran a neo-Nazi website and used gay and racial slurs while gaming online, while the defense countered that Aldrich's sometimes abusive mother forced the suspect to frequent LGBTQ+ clubs. Two veterans out at Club Q reportedly helped thwart the attack by disarming Aldrich, who was beaten by patrons and displayed a bruised and bloodied face in his initial mugshot and court appearance. Aldrich was facing more than 300 state counts, including murder and hate crimes. The Justice Department is also considering pursuing federal hate crime charges, according to a senior law enforcement official who spoke to the AP. However, the charges against Aldrich were thrown out in July 2022 after Aldrich's mother and grandparents, the victims in the case, refused to cooperate with prosecutors, evading efforts to serve them with subpoenas to testify, according to court documents unsealed after the shooting. Other relatives told a judge they feared Aldrich would hurt the grandparents if released, painting a picture of an isolated, violent person who did not have a job and was given $30,000 that was spent largely on the purchase of 3D printers to make guns, the records showed. Aldrich was released from jail then and authorities kept two guns -- a ghost gun pistol and an MM15 rifle – seized in the arrest. But there was nothing to stop Aldrich from legally purchasing more firearms, raising questions immediately after the shooting about whether authorities should have sought a red flag order to prevent such purchases. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/nearly-half-bee-colonies-died-2023 Nearly half of honey bee colonies died in 2023 after three tumultuous years From April of last year to April of this year, 48% of honey bee colonies prematurely died off. University of Maryland and Auburn University have collaborated with nonprofit Bee Informed to track and report on managed bee colonies every year since 2007. Last year saw losses of 48%, the previous year’s loss was 39%, and the year before that, it was 50.8%. The average loss over the last 12 years is 39.6%. The cause of these losses is a mix of the parasitic mite, varroa destructor, which helps spread viruses between bees, increased use of pesticides, which inhibit the bee's ability to stave off diseases, and dramatic changes in the environment. When it becomes warmer than usual during the winter, bees will leave their colonies to begin pollinating many of the crops we eat, as well as other plants, but when the weather chills again, the bees die off. Still, the most commonly reported cause of death during the winter was the varroa. During the rest of the year, the most common report revolved around issues with the queen bee. "High levels of losses do not necessarily result in a decrease in the total number of colonies managed in the United States because beekeepers can replace lost colonies throughout the year," the report read. This report comes from a self-reported survey of 3,006 beekeepers from across the United States who collectively manage 314,360 colonies, the majority of which are commercially operated. This is only 12% of the estimated 2.70 million managed honey-producing colonies in the country in 2022, per the report. The collaboration, known as "the Bee Informed Partnership," is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving honey bee colony health in particular. https://www.conservativereview.com/unable-to-rely-on-wind-and-solar-sweden-ditches-100-renewable-target-and-bets-big-on-nuclear-power-2661896744.html Unable to rely on wind and solar, Sweden ditches 100% renewable target and bets big on nuclear power The Swedish parliament determined last week that in order to ensure the country has a "stable energy system," it will have to abandon its goal of "100 per cent renewable electricity production by 2040." To satisfy electricity demand, which is set to double to around 300 TwH by 2040, Sweden's right-of-center government announced June 20 that it would instead lean more heavily on nuclear energy and subsidize the construction of new nuclear plants — plants green-lit in 2016 but sidelined for fear they would be too expensive, reported Reuters. The country, home to just over 10.5 million people, presently has three nuclear plants with six nuclear reactors in commercial operation. The state-owned Vattenfall aims to bring the tally up to eight reactors and refurbish extant facilities. While Sweden's heightened nuclear focus is consistent with the country's commitment to shifting entirely off fossil fuels in a way that doesn't altogether cripple the nation, this bullishness on carbon-free nuclear power represents a significant about-face on atomic energy, which the country decided in a 1980 referendum to phase out. Swedish support for nuclear energy is presently at a record high of 56%, up from 42% in 2022, reported Bloomberg. The jump in support has been attributed in part to the energy crisis that overwhelmed Europe in concert with the invasion of Ukraine and the revelation that renewable energies are not tenable as alternatives. A 2021 study published in the journal Nature Communications indicated, "If future net-zero emissions energy systems rely heavily on solar and wind resources, spatial and temporal mismatches between resource availability and electricity demand may challenge system reliability." The researchers indicated that "the most reliable renewable electricity systems are wind-heavy and satisfy countries' electricity demand in 72-91% of hours ... Yet even in systems which meet >90% o demand, hundreds of hours of unmet demand may occur annually." These lost hours could prove too dear in a country where temperatures routinely drop below freezing several months out of every year. Even the former energy minister for the defeated leftist Social Democratic Party, was cognizant of the country's strained energy situation, warning last August of "strains on the power system this winter," both in terms of outages and high prices. The U.S. Department of Energy indicated that nuclear energy is the most reliable energy source on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. Each nuclear reactor typically produces the same amount of power as 431 utility-scale wind turbines or 3.1 million solar panels. According to the Swedish government, roughly 75% of its electricity comes from hydroelectric (43%) and nuclear (31%) power. 16% of the electricity comes from wind power. Approximately 9% comes from combined heat and power plants, largely powered by biofuels. Solar energy has yet to crack 1% of total supply. Finance Minister Elisabeth Svan-tesson of the Moderate Party said, "We need more electricity production, we need clean electricity and we need a stable energy system." Since wind and solar won't cut it, "This creates the conditions for nuclear power," said Svantesson.
