Climate Change
I'm not a fan of that Copenhagen development. And it's just one of many ott developments that have no relationship to the Danish architectural tradition and vernacular.
Don't mean to piss on anyone's parade, but I grew up in CPH and it was a beautiful city. Now it's full of wanky monstrosities.
What?!! Wonderful wonderful Copenhagen, friendly old girl of a town.
I can hear Danny Kaye warbling away through the mists of time :-)
Cheers, Zen.
It does have an element of UAE cringe doesn’t it. I wouldn’t want it over the road from my palace. Got to look at it how a women sees a short, fat, bald wealthy man though. Not pretty but functional and will get you where you need to be. There’s a genuine attractiveness in that, and I’ve had this explained to me directly from a women who liked the aforementioned men

Let if fall. It's closed anyway, you can't walk to it. They fenced it off with the ugliest looking wire so the whole setup is quite depressing.

Can't disagree with you there, it's a fairly underwhelming monument, but has its moments in the late afternoon sun. Let the sea take it back.
BP to scrap renewable generation target
"Too far, too fast:” bp details renewables backtrack, puts Australian green hydrogen mega-projects on ice"
Global oil and gas major bp has set out its strategy for a fundamental reset, including slashing its spend on “low carbon energy” from a planned $US30 billion out to 2030, to around $4 billion, and redirecting investment to fossil fuels, which it says are its “highest return opportunities.”
The major scale-back on renewables will mean no new investments in “transition” projects over the coming three years, an exit from onshore wind, and a major hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) cull from around 30 projects to between just five and seven “prioritised projects” – none of which appear to be in Australia."

This is kind of surprising, but also not surprising at the same time.
I dont think the political and media narrative on all this fit's reality.
I think its going to take a lot longer than people say/think to go carbon free, especially in Australia a country that won't have the advantage of large amounts of Hydro energy or any Nuclear to support wind and solar.
It's also why Adani went through in QLD because that demand for coal elsewhere is still going to be there for sometime.
There's no magic switch you just switch, it's going to take a lot of time to transition fully, and what makes things harder is just the every growing increase in demand for energy not just in Australia but globally especially in developing countries with fast growing middle classes.
