⛽ De gaswinning in het Groningenveld mag dan gestopt zijn, maar dat betekent niet dat er geen gas meer wordt gewonnen in Groningen. De aardbeving van gisteren voedt de angst over de gevolgen van de #gaswinning bij Warffum. www.trouw.nl/duurzaamheid...

Nieuwste aardbeving (2.2 op schaal van Richter) nabij Rasquert/Warffum is bijzonder en netelig. De gaswinning uit het grote veld is gestopt, maar daarmee de bevingen niet. En Warffum is in verzet tegen het doorgaan van winning uit [kleinere] veld onder het dorp. #DvhN dvhn.nl/groningen/Fi...

💥 Another #earthquake struck Groningen last night at 00:22, with the epicenter near Usquert, right between the closed #Groningen #gas field and the still-active Warffum gas field. Residents felt houses shaking, beds trembling, and mirrors rattling. 😟 nos.nl/artikel/2555...

1/ 🚗 Took a drive through Groningen’s earthquake zone, where 60 years of gas extraction have left lasting scars. Along the way, I passed damaged homes, reinforced structures, and breathtaking landscapes with charming villages. Follow the journey. 🧵👇

Minister Hermans @ministerkgg.bsky.social accepteert dat Nederland nog 20 jaar (!) na vertrek uit het Energy Charter Treaty risico loopt op dure arbitrageclaims #ISDS. Waarom? Vroegtijdig beëindigen van de "sunset" clausule zou nadelig zijn voor Nederlands bedrijfsleven in het buitenland. Bizar!

We're at EU #RawMaterialsWeek, bringing together CSOs & EU decision makers to look at how transition mineral producing African countries can truly benefit from their resources.
