Na een bizarre dag hier in München nog een opmerkelijke #MSC2025 quote, van een geschokte Duitser: “nu hebben we niet alleen inmenging van de Russen in onze verkiezingen maar ook van de Amerikanen.” En wat geopolitiek nog bijzonderder is: ze steunen nog dezelfde partij ook 🤯

Today's #aHydrogenSoufflé comes to you from Europe. "It’s not enough to have a plane if you have no infrastructure, no hydrogen in the right place, at the right time, at the right quantity and the right price." Exactly as I've been saying for years. www.ft.com/content/5493...

Wat een verhaal: 'Radicale klimaatactivisten' die ruim 270 auto's beschadigden en met Groenen-stickers beplakten, bleken in werkelijkheid door Rusland aangestuurde 'amateuragenten'. Bedoeld om afkeer tegen de Groenen te vergroten. Verhaal van Spiegel: www.spiegel.de/panorama/jus...
