No offshore bids in Denmark - disappointing but sadly not surprising
Denmark’s latest 3 GW offshore wind auction round ended without any bids. That’s a huge disappointment for Denmark and for Europe’s wider energy security and electrification efforts. The failure to at...

We didn’t know then that it had all been agreed in advance in the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
Today, we have no excuse for such naivety. It’s a safe bet that the Trump-Putin Pact already exists—and we should act accordingly.🧵14/14

Our analysis is inspired by similar recent work we did on power grids, where Wardrop equilibria do not govern flows, but Kirchoff laws of electricity. The analysis is more subtle though - cars are not electrons. For details, look at our preprint arxiv.org/abs/2502.13944 4/4

A classical Dutch example from this week is the accident on A2 causing huge traffic jams on A27 nos.nl/artikel/2556... 3/4
A2 bij Zaltbommel weer open na groot ongeluk in vroege ochtend
Twee auto's vlogen na het ongeluk in brand. Twee mensen raakten lichtgewond.

The paper's main topic is a mathematical explanation: combining techniques from extreme value theory and road traffic network theory (Wardrop equilibria) we analyze the propagation of a disturbance in a road network, where the loss of capacity in a specific road triggers more delays 2/4
