Network Expansion in Germany Results in Lower Share of North Sea Offshore Wind in Total Production.

The expansion of onshore networks in Germany has directly impacted the proportion of offshore wind energy from the North Sea for the country’s total wind energy production, as reported by the Dutch grid operator TenneT on Monday.

In 2023, the share of North Sea offshore wind energy fell for the first time to 13% in Germany, down from 17% in 2022, according to TenneT. The Dutch company, which operates the high-tech plant and part of the German grid, plays a key role in the energy transition away from fossil fuels, including offshore wind energy.

The ‘lost years’ are now having an increasing impact on the ‘wind harvest’ in the North Sea, said TenneT’s Chief Operating Officer, Tim Meyerjuergens, referring to the years of expansion of onshore wind energy capacity.

The German government is still planning to buy TenneT’s business in Germany, but the plan hit a snag after the country’s constitutional court ruled that unused COVID-19 pandemic funds could not be used for climate projects.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

The island that has 35 inhabitants and celebrates Christmas on January 6: the remote island of Foula lives in isolation, without internet and following Julius Caesar’s calendar for centuries.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Neanderthals may have developed speech hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the proof lies in a study of DNA segments called HAQERs that influence linguistic abilities 200 times more than any other region of the human genome.

A city is building low-cost houses for people experiencing homelessness, with community support, assembled in a few hours, costing $2,500, and with a simple structure to protect from the cold and rain.

Few people know, but since 2026 the CPF has become a fiscal tracking tool in Brazil, and the data you provide at the supermarket, pharmacy, and gas station now feed a system that the tax authorities use to cross-reference your declared income with your actual spending.

Brazil is the 8th largest energy producer in the world and has an 83% renewable matrix — but its electricity bill is among the most expensive on the planet and 35 million people live in energy poverty.

More than 100 experts warn of the silent destruction of Brazilian soil: degraded areas threaten water, pollination, and fertility, while IPBES points to a loss of productivity across 23% of the Earth’s land surface and a multi-billion dollar risk to crops worldwide.

Oil has risen by 45% since the start of the war in the Middle East and could severely impact several sectors of the global market.

Two months of war between the US and Iran escalate tensions in the Middle East and cause oil prices to surpass 111 dollars.

Lack of agreement between the US and Iran boosts oil and increases pressure on energy, inflation, and the global economy.
