«Increasingly cost-competitive offshore wind projects are on course to attract a trillion dollars of investment to 2040. Europe’s success with the technology has sparked interest in China, the United States and elsewhere. In the Sustainable Development Scenario, offshore wind rivals its onshore counterpart as the leading source of electricity generation in the European Union, paving the way to full decarbonisation of Europe’s power sector. Even higher deployment is possible if offshore wind becomes the foundation for the production of low-carbon hydrogen.»

«The global economy is set to double in size over the next 20 years. But that does not mean it will need twice as much energy to power all the extra cars, homes and factories such growth will bring. By taking the available opportunities to become more energy efficient, we would need only the same amount of energy we use today. The result would be a global economy with reduced emissions, lower pollution and enhanced energy security – we would live more comfortable lives and receive lower energy bills.»Fossilberoendets förbannelse

I Bangladesh, där temperaturen var drygt fyra grader på söndagen, har minst 50 människor frusit ihjäl de senaste dagarna enligt landets hälsomyndighet, rapporterar Reuters.https://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/50-dodade-i-langvarig-koldvag-i-sydasien/
Den vanligaste dödsorsaken är luftvägsinfektion och sjukhusen är överfulla av människor som sökt vård för influensa, uttorkning och lunginflammation. I Bangladesh bor tiotals miljoner människor i bostäder som inte är anpassade för låga temperaturer.
I Indiens huvudstad New Delhi, som har 20 miljoner invånare, har låga temperaturer i kombination med dimma lett till att avgångar med tåg och flyg har ställts in. Som lägst har temperaturen varit nere på 1,4 grader i delar av staden, skriver Indian Express.
Många Delhibor upplevde den kyligaste natten på sex år. Låga temperaturer har uppmätts sedan den 14 december och det är första gången på 25 år som det är kallt så många dagar i sträck, skriver Times of India. Köldrekordet i Delhi är 90 år gammalt. 1930 uppmättes noll grader. Vid enstaka tillfällen har det snöat i den indiska huvudstaden.
Det kyliga vädret väntas fortsätta de kommande dagarna och möjligen kan rekordnoteringen i Delhi vara hotad.
