Yeah, I know. Unfortunately Polar Night are hard to reach, which is why we’ve had to go to others to develop heat batteries.

The Chinese example was great to see, though! I wish we could get something similar going here, to be able to store energy. Extracting hydrogen is step 1, but also finding a good way to store it is crucial! There has been a lot of innovation in that regard lately, though.

Sure, this piece can’t tell it’s Fahrenheit from it’s kWh and God forbid anybody mentions power. It is of relevance, though, that nuclear is very sensitive as a power source and is hampered in many ways. It’s almost as if to be able to count on 1 reactor at any given time, 2 must be built.

Dont get me wrong, it is obvious that a mix is needed, because all sources have their own shortcomings. I just hope nuclear can be built fast enough. I don’t think so, but would gladly be proven wrong☹️. The last European reactor took 15 years to build. The world needs to have transitioned by then.

Yes, and that is good. Now we need to be able to do it in Europe as well and in much larger quantities, both for heating and electricity.

Absolutely! You are quite right. However, my interpretation of this message is not necessarily “we might reconsider our stance on troop mines”. Rather it is: “we will go to any lengths, even those we find barbaric and cruel, to defend our nation”. Although on the face of it, it is the wording of the agreement that sets the formalities.

Oh, it wasn’t the UN that was the intended recipient of that particular message. That’s why it was sent publicly…
