In these days of COP30, EU's largest Geothermal Power Plant started operating the first of 3 wells
When fully operational in 2030 it will cover 20% of the need in district heating in our second largest city Aarhus.
It's part of the plan to become climate neutral in 2030.

Danish inflation figures for October 2025 were published today.
A small drop from last month, but still on the wrong side of 2%
The salaries of all employees have by Q2 2025 increased by 3,4%
In industry it's 2,9%, so the buying power has increased for every employee.

This is what America has come to.
What a disgrace.
But Trump and his goons won't succeed long term.
The world will continue implementing climate measures.

In Denmark we view our children as the most important resource.
From daycare, kindergarten to any education they choose.
Their skills will continue making Denmark prosperous and having a strong welfare state.

While the US demonstrates against having a King, and while the royal family in the UK is struggling with support, the Danes love their royal family.
The obvious explanation is that the Danish royals do their job and leave politics to the politicians.

While world leaders meet in Brazil to coordinate the fight against climate change, the American people are experiencing the effect of the "It's a Hoax" President doing his best to burn more fossil fuels.

The green energy employees in the municipality of Esbjerg paid 414 million Danish Crowns in municipality tax.
That's 64 million $. That's a substantial contribution in a municipality of 115,000 people.
The green industry is an significant contributor to our welfare state.
How is it in your area?

Ken Howery visited King Frederik X today as the new Ambassador to Denmark
We all know that his job is to gain control of Greenland.
When questioned by the press about Greenland, he suddenly had no more time and rushed away.
He want to listen and learn.
I'm sure we will teach him

Crossing fingers from across the pond.
Treating people decently, taxing all equally including companies and the rich is fairness for all.
It gives a richer and better society with welfare for all.
Good luck mr. Mamdani 👍
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Tropical storm Melissa has reached the North Atlantic.
Pumping cold polar air to the British Islands and southern European warm air to Germany and southern Scandinavia.
So our turbines are spinning merrily.

The chef cook at Alchemist restaurant Copenhagen Rasmus Munk has introduced non-chocolate chocolates made from beer waste. Diseases and climate change has made chocolate beans a very expensive raw material. The fermentation does the magic.

Quite a headline in my newspaper Politiken today.

"In Russian self-understanding the Russian people is not only the most important people in the world.
They have the right to destroy anything they don't like"

No wonder Trump admires Putin so much, they are so alike.

What's is Trump talking about, when he says that the US should start testing atomic bombs, because other countries do it?
The last test was conducted in 2017 by North Korea. This test was the only one since 2006.
Apparently he does know history.
Another smoke screen for the declining economy?

I'm sending you this in support of the installation of the wind farm that Trump stopped construction of.
I hope for all including the climate that it will be up and running soon.

Reduction comes from energy generated from windfarms and lower cost of gas owing to lower demand

This is for Trump.
A recent study reveals that energy costs in Britain has been reduced by 104 billon pounds the last 15 years because of wind power.
The Biden administration knew this and introduced the IRA which Trump rolled back to make Americans pay more.

In short
Trump can't be trusted.
As a consequence all countries need exit plans, just like Canada and other allies have set in motion. America under Trump is an unreliable trading partner.

Free scientific lectures from the University of Aarhus are transmitted to cinemas and community houses in Denmark and many other countries in Europe.
If you have a group of people understanding Danish you can become a host. You'll be instructed how to set it up.

Climate action.
3 years ago there was 100,000 electric cars in Denmark.
In September 2025 that figure passed 500,000.
September 2025 also set a new record. 73,4% of all cars sold were electric.
The first 9 months of 2025 saw 88,425 new electric cars on our roads.
Public charging points 35,000

This is the sight that terrifies Trump.
The picture is one year old and taken when the two wind parks Vesterhav North and South were inaugurated.
Together they provide electricity to 350.000 households.
The turbines are placed 5-10 km from the coast of Hvide Sande

By rejecting wind and solar and starving the American green industry, Trump has handed the future energy market to China.
Millions of jobs that never materialise is now gone for good.
Trump and OPEC can't stop the transformation. Only delay it. Even in shipping.

Sustainable bioeconomy will be centre stage during the COP30 meeting in Brazil.
We know that the US will continue the fossil way while the rest of the world is developing these new technologies to address climate change and biodiversity.
Let's hope for a successful meeting.
