Today, after half a year of talking, we may hear the announcement of a right-far-right government in the Netherlands, led by Wilders' PVV party and supported by @minpres Rutte's VVD, newcomer NSC, and 'farmers party' BBB.
Tough times ahead.
Picture: 2018, four years after MH17.

@Sustainable2050 Hoping they're as ineffective as most populists.

That's the best possible outcome until we're back to voting in 3.5 years.

The full blade set for the Vestas 15 MW prototype offshore wind turbine has arrived to Østerild National Test Centre in Denmark where they will be installed.
[This one blade is longer than Utrecht's Dom tower, my own point of reference ;)]

But onshore wind turbines are becoming larger too.
