Sunday 2nd 47F, overcast, misty, windy and raining.
Warmest New Year's Eve and Day ever recorded in Denmark. 11.4C/52F.
It was mild but wet for my walk. Two hours late, leaving into modest traffic. The first car swung wide to clip the verge by my feet and then cut the blind, following corner. Just another drunken, crash test dummy. The radar had shown a gap in the rain. It mostly drizzled with a short, heavier burst. Nothing much to report today. A few small birds in the hedges. The mist hid everything else.
Today's raving lunacy, climate news: Corrupt, raving lunatics at the "EU" have stamped natural gas as "green." Dugh? Seriously? Are they still getting backhanders from Putin following their approval of his "weaponized" gas pipelines? The "EU" has also approved nuclear power stations as "green." Just as Germany is closing three of its six remaining power stations. Completely wacko! Labeling gas and nuclear as green destroys all credibility of EU climate policies and supposed ambitions. It also trashes all green labeling as a corrupt ploy just to move product.
Meanwhile, Denmark is to unveil new plans to reduce its CO2 burden on the world. Coalition partners have been pressing the government to be far more ambitious. It is reported that electric cars sales were about a half of dirty ICE vehicles in December. Hybrids slightly outnumbered BEVs.
The corrupt, German ICE manufacturers are playing their dirty tricks again. They are stalling Tesla's German gigafactory opening. The legacy ICE factories have no competing BEVs to sell. So they are making sure nobody can have a Tesla.
The German VW group [the well known and heavily fined corrupters of vehicle emissions testing software and no doubt corruption of mileage per charge results] had 25% of the Danish BEV market in September.
Increasing numbers of Teslas are seen in Denmark but they remain a luxury vehicles at their high, retail prices. I did a search but cannot find new vehicle Tesla prices for 2022. An ex-demo [50km] Model 3, RWD is selling for 430,00DKK. About £49,000GB or $66,000US.
