Wednesday 31st 39-61F, another sunny day with temperatures promised up to 16C or 61F. A change to lighter clothes for my walk to the lanes. I took my camera with the longer lens but there wasn't much to capture.
In Danish news: The local government of the holiday island of Samsø put up 6 chargers for EVs. A Positive sign of progress? Forward thinking? Promising? No. Nej. Non! Now those chargers are to be removed. Why? Because there is a solitary, commercial charger on the popular tourist island.
It seems the kommune/council is not allowed to compete with commercial services. This in the <cough> "Land of Empty Climate Promises." Where the government's main, empty promise is to have 1 million EVs on the Danish roads within a very short period. Denmark has so few electric vehicles that Chinese tourists come here to photograph them as "rare birds." Let us hope they don't stray to Samsø!
Instead of democratising and hardening Denmark against attack. With local power production. It is building an unbelievably easy target in the form of an "energy island" with offshore turbines. The plan is all too obvious. Denmark has so many "climate" taxes on energy bills that the actual cost of the electricity is a vanishingly small fraction of the total.
Danish citizens suffer real, energy poverty and a major lack of insulation. While "they" spend billions on massive, centralised projects. All designed to keep the workers' noses to the grindstones to pay their massive quarterly bills. Meanwhile the tax-free wealthy sit on guaranteed, tax-free income from constantly escalating property investment values.
