Me don't keine Ahnung have, but will say i already had to upgive making somewhat intelligent responses to brilliant diaries on political, economic and social thoughts digital because there no time was. Then it got worse.

Doesn't mean i lost contact with mission control, might possibly mean i'm whelmed over.

the rest of us are just to help them lighten up maybe...

but if any other country is gonna run things, i can't think right now who it's going to be!

i do think their brains work better. they have a better education system than most, and they eat more whole grains and seeds than other europeans, which gives them the vitamin E-dge.

I'm no longer sure how, but i'm betting on us to win. Against all odds, but this won't be easy. Despite WPD financial close.

But please, do not underestimate the damage already done. Besides bankruptcy, the re-establishment of production lines will not be simple... especially at the same quality level.

The debt crisis is finally catching up with wind energy, once a fast-growing sector in Europe. After more than a decade of double-digit growth, austerity, rapidly changing energy policies and skittish investors are putting a damper on the industry.

It is often the elephant in the room at any conference on renewable energy. Sometimes, it's mentioned simply as the "s" word and other times it's not mentioned at all. But subsidies remain crucial, with wind energy still struggling to achieve price parity with coal and natural gas. This week in Vienna, at the European Wind Energy Association's annual conference, subsidies came up right away.

OAS_RICH('Middle2'); This time, it was the source of the comments that was unexpected. During the opening keynote, Fatih Birol, the chief economist at the International Energy Agency, proclaimed fossil fuel subsidies to be the "Public Enemy No. 1" of sustainable energy developments. This, from a man who just eight short years ago was urging "substantial" increases in new oil and gas drilling investments.

His argument was simple. Renewable energies right now are suffering from a dual problem: Governments around the world are slashing aid for clean energy, and massive subsidies propping up the fossil fuel industry are making it impossible to compete with the cheaper energy.

Pop musicians address their audience "hello Scunthorpe, rock and rock capital of the universe". Classical people turn their back, as if communicating is just a bit beneath them
