Struggling a bit this evening as the Danish parliament today (with a 88 to 22 vote) decided to spend €1.2 bn on one more highway around Aalborg, which:

  • damages nature and recreational areas
  • increases CO2 emissions
  • and, I kid you not, is lossgiving cost-benefit wise 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Are you living in Denmark, from another EU country?

Then remember you can vote in the upcoming election for the European Parliament.

But if you haven't voted in Denmark before, you have to register no later than May 6th!

2nd day at talking “urban nodes” (aka cities) and their connections to the EU Trans European Networks. It’s a jargon soup at the start.

@jon Thx for your reporting. I saw the event just yesterday, and thought ‘ach, that might have been a trip worthwhile’. Now I sleep better at night.

Engineering question

Denmark - when building the Storebæltsbroen - concluded you cannot easily put a railway on a suspension bridge (so tunnelled the railway instead)

The Øresundsbron is a cable stay bridge instead of suspension

And here comes a proposal for a suspension bridge at the Strait of Messina with a central span of 3.3km... how will they account for movement / flex when a train crosses? 🤔

@jon I was also about to guess that it will not allow freight trains. But I don’t know if it might work.

Brilliant post from @jon on why we probably should complain more about the railway sector’s ways of doing business, than complaining about the aviation sector. https://jonworth.eu/how-green-are-europes-railways/

Where do we do digital EU politics now?

Channeling Donald Tusk and Freddie Mercury, and taking into account Meta's anti-politics stance this week, a few thoughts as to where those whose everyday job it is to follow EU politics should turn now

And Mastodon doesn't do the job fully, even though I like it here (for other reasons)

@jon Great analysis of what is functionally needed. Yet, being on both Bluesky and here, I’m not sure I would point to Bluesky.

For sure, if the new Commission set set up an official instance for commissioners and EP members to use, and if VdL used it exclusively, then of course all would flock to it.

Why third party rail ticket booking platforms are only inadvertently solving cross border ticketing problems

They're answering: “Is there a train from A to B, and can we sell tickets for it?”

I want to answer: “I want to go from A to B, how do I do that?”

Og ganske rigtigt. I 70'erne var der parkering på slotspladsen 😱.

Elpriserne i morgen aften er helt gak. Hold kæft jeg hader “det frie marked”. Der mangler jo ikke strøm.

sorenhave,
@sorenhave@mastodon.nu avatar

@nerdd @notsoloud @Koefoed @anderspuck @klgn Beklager sent svar, men enig: Prisen er nok ikke så urimelig - kapacitet som skal stå stand-by (og potentielt betale CO2-afgift) koster mere end vind/sol.

Og fordi kablet mellem øst og vest er begrænset er priserne ofte forskellige i Jylland fra resten af landet.

sorenhave,
@sorenhave@mastodon.nu avatar

@nerdd @notsoloud @Koefoed @anderspuck @klgn Her ses at det i høj grad skyldes at det er megakoldt i Norge, Sverige og Finland, som i høj grad bruger elvarme, og dermed meget strøm. Det ‘suger’ strøm fra DK, og begrænsningen på kablet mellem Jylland og Øerne driver så prisen op.

Montpellier is making its trams and buses free...

... but for residents only

The exact same way Tallinn did it

This means you KEEP the expense of maintaining a ticketing system, AND you reduce the income for your system

AND Montpellier has now banned taking a bike on the tram as a result

Oh and whether completely free public transport even is a good idea... is questionable, as this @OlivierRazemon blog post explains:

🧵 Something profoundly important (and scary) is happening.

Climate change is finally starting to break through the financial firewalls Americans and our government have put up, and affecting where people can live -- now in the future.

And there's an unlikely driver of this new reality:

The insurance industry.

@mimsical It’s the same in Denmark. We have a state-backed flooding disaster fund to which all insurance customers pay a certain (indiscriminate) amount.

The economic council has in a brand new report recommended that this be changed (in Danish, but a Google translate will work): https://dors.dk/vismandsrapporter/oekonomi-miljoe-2023/kapitel-ii-klimatilpasning-kystzonen

Det er samfundsøkonomisk tabsgivende at tunnellægge HC. Andersens Boulevard.

Og da der også vil være store CO2-udledninger fra anlæg, og store (faktisk større end nu) barriereeffekter pga ramper, må konklusionen være at droppe ideen.

Det er OK at blive klogere, og revurdere. Det er hvad vi har brug for at kunne/turde. https://pro.ing.dk/mobilitytech/artikel/tunnel-under-hc-andersens-boulevard-vil-vaere-en-daarlig-forretning-samfundet
