Udvalg udpeger 100 danske kvinder, der bør få en statue – og kommer med en opfordring Et ekspertudvalg kommer nu med forslag til 100 kvinder, der bør hædres i det offentlige rum. Og selvom skulptørerne skal have frihed, opfordrer udvalget til, at statuerne tager en bestemt drejning.

There are so few statues of women, now a committee has identified 100 women, who should have a statue.
In my home town Roskilde there are 2 statues of women - Queen Margrethe 1 on a horse and the author Lise Nørgarrd, but this is unusual, normally statues are of men!

Another day in the office, with another cake surprise😋, this time from another colleague.
Is this beginning to be a new habit 🤔

The best start to work is when I get into the office early and discover a colleague got there even earlier and have set a chocolate croissant on my meeting table 🥐😄

Very useful thread to understand the European Council decision

In Lithuania, a cat could get a say on public broadcaster’s future President Gitanas Nausėda has branded the fur flying in parliament a “hybrid attack” against Lithuania.

Lithuanian lawmakers voted to allow a cat to have a say (or maybe a meow) on whether the head of the national broadcaster can be dismissed.

Graph of Danish emission from 2020 to 2045, with climate targets: 2030: 70% (on track) 2035: On track for 80%. We have proposed 90% and how to get there. Government has a goal of climate neutrality by 2045. We have shown a path to do it by 2040.

Disappointed, as the Danish government today decided on a 82% climate target for 2035 that
- doesn’t really require new policies*
- didn’t include targets for international aviation’s climate impact (which is about to surpass that of all Danish cars!)

“The phenomenon is known as induced demand. The result is an endless cycle in which congestion leads to highway expansion, which invites more trips, which brings back traffic…The pattern is so inevitable that economists have dubbed it the iron law of congestion.” #InducedTraffic

The Commission drops the ban on fossil fuel vehicles.
The transition to electrical cars is speeding up, but the German car industry is pulling the brakes on the transition. Where will that leave the industry in the future?
But, the German car industry is a very successful lobbyist.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

How a Nuclear-Fossil Fuel Alliance Is Winning the Fight for Energy Dominance The once unlikely partnership’s influence now reaches right into the White House, where President Trump wants to ban certain renewable projects.

No surprise that the nuclear industry is undermining renewable energy in the US. They’ve been doing that in France for a long time.

"Weakening the 2035 target would not only slow vehicle decarbonisation; it would also disrupt investment planning for grids and charging networks." Says Kai Tegethoff

The Musk - Sikorski Twitter spat

After the little Musk-Sikorski spat this, and Musk's statement to abolish the EU (after the Commission fined X), let's ask ourselves simply:

HOW ARE EUROPEAN COMMISSIONERS USING X NOW?
