The magazine Der Spiegel reports about the curiosity that Diesel must keep RWEs offshore wind park in motion:

"The reason is as simple as it is surprising. The wind farm operator, German utility RWE, has to keep the sensitive equipment -- the drives, hubs and rotor blades -- in constant motion, and for now that requires diesel-powered generators. Because although the wind farm will soon be ready to generate electricity, it won't be able to start doing so because of a lack of infrastructure to transport the electricity to the mainland and feed it into the grid. The necessary connections and cabling won't be ready on time and the delay could last up to a year."

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) reports that the credibility of the European energy reviews is in doubt: These are based on only one economic model by a single Greek university. This model however is not available for independent review.

Keith Kloor writes on Yale environment360:

"Activist Mark Lynas has alienated his green colleagues by renouncing long-held views and becoming an advocate for nuclear power and genetically modified crops. In an interview with Yale Environment 360, he explains why he rethought his positions and turned to technology for solutions."

In the interview, Mark Lynas states:

"We cannot afford to foreclose powerful technological options like nuclear, synthetic biology, and genetic engineering because of Luddite prejudice and ideological inertia."
