There was the loudest boom and the vibration of the entire floor , when the tree across from my house fell. The storm that caused this was minor compared to others and still the damage was laying in a pile the next morning. After inspection I see that the entire middle is rotten and that explained the easiness of which it came down. The age of the tree not known to me but I’m guessing that it’s about 50 years old and in this area seen more than its worth of crime. The fallen ones of this community are adding up daily.

A study published recently by the Fraunhofer Institute (German equivalent of the CNRS) reveals that renewable energy is now the main source of electricity production in Germany. Their 40% contribution to the electricity mix in 2018 now exceeds that of coal and lignite [Lignite is a type of coal known as "of lower rank", characterized by high water content and carbon content of 50 to 60% giving it a low calorific value. In Germany it is mined in huge surface mines where it supplies power plants located nearby to reduce transport costs.], which together generate 38% of the current. With 7 reactors still in service, the atom provides 13.3% of electricity production. In 2010, before the decision to exit from nuclear power, its share was 22%
