Europe’s solar boom is running into a new problem: too much power. Prices are going negative, grids are overwhelmed, and energy is going to waste. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This article is a useful reminder that the relatively successful yet comparatively egalitarian Scandinavian economies are quite pro-market. The key is to promote successful private sector businesses that generate growth and make a generous welfare state sustainable. Then you can layer a welfare state on top that expands equality of opportunity and provides a safety net for those who fall between the cracks. The same story broadly applies to my native Denmark, which tightened fiscal discipline and undertook market-oriented reforms in the 80s and 90s.

Many of the onshore wind farms along the coasts of the UK and Denmark are falling apart after only 10 years. A study reveals that energy contributions from wind farms begin to fall sharply after only 10 to 15 years, leaving the skeletons of steel and plastic blowing in the wind. The economic analysis reveals the lifespan of an onshore turbine is not 20 to 25 years, as stated by the wind industry itself, supported by the UK Government. This peer reviewed British study reveals that the energy production of onshore wind farms falls substantially as they get older, due to wear and tear. Energy and environmental economist, Professor Gordon Hughes (University of Edinburgh), carried out the statistical analysis of wind farm performance data in the UK and Denmark. He concluded that load factors, like electricity generated as a percentage of capacity, declined a lot faster than expected, suggesting a baseline 10 to 15 year lifespan. This is when the technical life of most turbines crunch to halt, and become unprofitable to continue. Rising maintenance costs makes them uneconomical. The study found the average UK wind farm's ability to meet electricity demand had fallen by a third after around 10 years, leading to a conclusion that many are fully uneconomic to run after only 12 years. While the wind industry generally forecasts a 25-year lifespan, the data reveals a different reality about the viability of keeping them spinning so long. Many companies now 'repower' (replace old turbines with new ones) long before the 25-year target to maximise subsidies and output. This often ends the lifespan of the original hardware much sooner. The wind farm study is published by the 'Renewable Energy Foundation on the Performance of Wind Farms in the United Kingdom and Denmark, 2012'.

#Berlinwird sicher. Gewalt und Respektlosigkeit haben in unseren Freibädern keinen Platz – sie sollen Orte für Familien, Freunde und Erholung sein. Deshalb sorgen wir mit klaren Regeln, mehr Personal, Ausweiskontrollen und Videoüberwachung für mehr Sicherheit!

Minister @FedorovMykhailo: Honored to welcome Boris Pistorius to Kyiv. Germany is now #1 globally in security aid to Ukraine, providing 1/3 of our total support. From Patriot missiles to $1B for Ukrainian drones, this aid is already delivering results: 90% drone interceptions & 5k mid-strikes per month. Excited to launch "Brave Germany" with @BRAVE1ua — a joint platform for grants & R&D in AI, UAVs, and missiles. We are building a new European security architecture rooted in Ukrainian tech & combat experience.
