One interesting detail about Denmark's renewable energy infrastructure mix is that Vestas, the largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world, is a cornerstone of Danish industry. Note in the article that wind supplies about 40% of Denmark's electrical needs, and that the populist right party mentioned in the article doesn't attack wind turbines, despite the antipathy that other (supposedly populist) rightwing figures do in other countries.

I find this kind of 'lol nothing can ever improve' mentality to be pointlessly cynical, boring, and reductive. Oddly, it's of a type I mostly associate with the so-called dirtbag left of the United States.

You do know that all these politicians do not care about us (including Orban) and are power hungry and will betray us the moment they can?

Only a matter of time.

Knowing that these politicians are always for themselves and are self-centered (Especially in the USA) is not a "left" or "right" thing as they both do it.

Sounds like you're the troll with your "6 month account" telling anyone who has the tiniest disagreement with you is a "Russian troll" which is not a great start for a serious dialogue about this election which in this case, is an very interesting outcome.

We will see if the new government that enters into power keeps its promises.

So come back when you have calmed down and snapped out of whatever emotions you are currently under.


Nihilism is not a great start for serious dialogue either.

That word isn't quite correct. More like skepticism.

Being skeptical on this is just basic critical thinking and not blindly believing in peak honeymoon periods of political change such as this.

Now so as I said: "We will see if the new government that enters into power keeps its promises." and the test of time will prove when such promises will break or not.


Agreed on all counts. But the comment you are replying to is in fact something other than tiresome cynicism. It's propagating disinformation cooked up mostly in Moscow. The idea that Hungarians or any other Europeans are going to be "conscripted" to fight in Ukraine is laughably implausible. Luckily most people can see through these attempts at fearmongering and manipulation, as we found out tonight in Budapest.

42 days, for anyone else not accustomed to thinking in terms of large numbers of hours.

ACB, Kavanaugh, and Roberts were all on Bush's legal team for Bush v. Gore. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/17/politics/bush-v-gore-barrett-...

Name checks out.

Is that the guy who kept running those quixotic campaigns against Nancy Pelosi?

No, you are thinking of Shahid Buttar. definitely not an early Stripe employee.

Heather McGhee's concept of 'drained pool politics' really resonates with me: https://newrepublic.com/article/171844/heather-mcghee-moving...

I’d love to see a new law requiring the NASA Administrator (a political appointee) to be a member of the first crewed flight of a new program.


I’m fairly confident NASA doesn’t read Maciej’s blog. However I’m confident that many people there read the Google doc he linked to. I suggest you do too.
