1. In the central Rhine Valley, summer is basically over. You can view the weather situation for the next 10 days, and the temperature will be modest at 20 C (68 F) for day-time, and pretty low at 12 C (54 F) at night.
Past 24 hours for rain in my village? Probably up to 3 inches fell....for July and August, it's way above the average.
2. Another national opinion poll was done....asking who to blame for the failures of the coalition gov't (led by the SPD, Greens, FDP). General public reaction? The Green Party itself gets the majority of blame.
I would suggest that various agenda items haven't sold well....even when the message was pushed by the news media. The heat-pump business still lingers and isn't that well received.
3. Both the Interior Minister and the Federal Attorney General had comments yesterday over the Nord Stream pipe explosion. It would appear that they still intend to bring 'someone' to justice. Investigation has yet to collapse.
4. State of NRW...dumped the rule of distance (1,000 meters) that a wind-generator has to be from a village. State parliament session accomplished this.
If I were to guess....this is going to be a negative for the next state election.
Of the sixteen German states, after Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin....I would consider NRW (far northwest) to be the most urbanized (crowded) state.
As you start to put wind-generators within 500 meters of a village....it'll just be a magnet for people to protest and use the court system to hold off the placement.
