Three Interesting Stories

 1.  There's a German-Danish company aiming to build two islands up in the North Sea....to produce a huge amount of electrical power.  Decades to build?  I'd suggest a minimum of two, and by the story on Focus.....you can figure four to five billion Euro involved in the construction of two. 

Production of power?  By what they figure....enough to replace 300 nuclear power plants (300 GIGA-watts).

Enough for both countries?  Well.....yeah.  It'd certainly in the range of that.  If you added wind-generation and solar power....you'd probably be selling to other countries.  

2.  Wagner group ending up dismantled?  Well....if go and examine most of the commentary today, no one sees Wagner really existing by the end of the year.  It would appear that Putin now realizes that some wild guy controlling 20,000 folks (even in the Russian Army) would be able to seize power in a matter of 24 hours.  It wouldn't shock me if most end up in Europe and asking for asylum.

3.  This missile defense deal for Germany?  There will be three bases created...first at Holzdorf (far north)....construction won't start until fall of 2025.  Other two bases will be in center eastern region, and one in Bavaria.
