Child welfare entrepreneur Daniel Thomassen (35) recruited youths to carry out an aggravated theft of jewellery and watches for him. The boys had to be ‘tough little bastards’, he wrote in a text message to the man who was to recruit them. The thieves made off with valuables worth between NOK 600,000 and NOK 1 million.
The German company Enerparc is among Europe’s largest solar-power companies. It has now filed for insolvency. The excuse given is that ‘renewables’ are being developed faster than the electricity grid. The truth is that ‘renewables’ are not up to the job. Production cannot be regulated, and that is a colossal disadvantage in the market. The only things keeping the industry alive are massive subsidies and equally massive political folly.
