"Gold mine": Europe looks to geothermal energy as gas alternative

1 month ago RTL Today

"We're sitting on a gold mine," says Christian Peltl, director of geothermal energy at SWR, the operator of the plant in Sendling. Reliable and sustainable geothermal energy seems like the perfect alternative to gas. At the end of 2022, the German government published a plan to increase the production of geothermal energy tenfold by 2030 to 10 terawatt hours (Twh). Across the border in France, the government published a plan Thursday to increase the number of deep geothermal energy schemes by 40 percent by 2030.

Latest tactic: Russia's 'no risk' Ukraine strategy: pummeling the power grid

After a series of humiliating battlefield defeats in Ukraine, Moscow is trying out a new tactic it hopes will swing the tide of the war: bombarding power stations just as winter sets in. "It's impossible to survive when there is no heating, no water, no water treatment facilities and no lights," pro-Kremlin lawmaker Andrey Gurulev said this week, after the latest barrage on power plants across Ukraine. Russia's pivot to systematically attacking Ukraine power stations comes after a series of defeats in Ukraine. According to some analysts, Russian munitions capable of accurately hitting power stations from a distance are running low. Back in Dnipro, Olga insisted that no matter how brutal the Russian strikes became, her resolve would not be shaken.

Jones vows England will 'go after' All Blacks

England coach Eddie Jones insisted defeating New Zealand was far from a "mission impossible" as he promised his side would "go after" the All Blacks following a 52-13 win over Japan at Twickenham on Saturday. That win meant England ended New Zealand's eight-year reign as world champions, but Jones's men then lost in the final to South Africa. New Zealand face Scotland in Edinburgh on Sunday before heading south to play England at Twickenham on November 19. "It's an opportunity to play against one of the giants of world rugby," Jones told reporters after the Japan match. "It's an improvement," said Jones after a match where both England centre Guy Porter and fly-half Marcus Smith scored two tries apiece.

Fears of escalation: UK sending heavy tanks to Ukraine, prompts Russian warning

British PM pledged to provide 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine, making it the first Western country to supply the heavy tanks Kyiv has been calling for. Ukraine's European allies have sent Kyiv more than 300 modernised Soviet tanks since Russia invaded in February 2022. But they have so far held off on dispatching the Western-made heavy tanks that Ukraine has repeatedly requested to push forward against Russian invaders. The issue of heavy tanks has long been a key one for Kyiv and many experts see providing Ukraine with modern tanks as a vital building block in its ability to win against Russia. Germany has been especially hesitant of supplying heavy tanks.
