I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.
Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.
They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.

Vandaag sta ik in De Morgen met een pleidooi tegen de onzin van remigratie.
Lode Cossaer is verbonden aan het Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte van de KU Leuven. Remigratie is geen beleidsoptie maar een verkoopstrategie, zegt hij. Een simplistische fantasie.
Wie twijfelt aan de onuitvoerbaarheid en onwenselijkheid van grootschalige remigratie, hoeft slechts naar de VS te kijken

But today I was struck by essentially a footnote number in Brueghel's Cleantech tracker. The EU spends €250billion per year (!) importing oil and fully half of that goes on road transport.
Crucially, these are not extrapolations or projections. They are receipts. And that is a very big number.
