Ever more gas-free homes
An increasing number of homes in the Netherlands are heated without the use of natural gas. In 2024, 11.2 percent of homes were fully gas-free, up from 8.7 percent in 2022. These homes are usually heated using a heat pump or are connected to a collective district heating system. This means they do not require a gas-fired boiler. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of newly released figures.

Eating more but growing less: Stagnant Philippine farms linked to widening rice gap
As of 2022 alone, Filipinos were eating 2.3 million metric tons more rice than the country produced—an 18% shortfall that has locked the Philippines into deeper dependence on imported rice despite years of government programs to boost local harvests.

Robust forecast aggregation via additional queries
Rafael Frongillo, Mary Monroe, Eric Neyman, Bo Waggoner
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.05271 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.05271 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.05271

Abstract: We study the problem of robust forecast aggregation: combining expert forecasts with provable accuracy guarantees compared to the best possible aggregation of the underlying information. Prior work shows strong impossibility results, e.g. that even under natural assumptions, no aggregation of the experts' individual forecasts can outperform simply following a random expert (Neyman and Roughgarden, 2022).
In this paper, we introduce a more general framework that allows the principal to elicit richer information from experts through structured queries. Our framework ensures that experts will truthfully report their underlying beliefs, and also enables us to define notions of complexity over the difficulty of asking these queries. Under a general model of independent but overlapping expert signals, we show that optimal aggregation is achievable in the worst case with each complexity measure bounded above by the number of agents $n$. We further establish tight tradeoffs between accuracy and query complexity: aggregation error decreases linearly with the number of queries, and vanishes when the "order of reasoning" and number of agents relevant to a query is $\omega(\sqrt{n})$. These results demonstrate that modest extensions to the space of expert queries dramatically strengthen the power of robust forecast aggregation. We therefore expect that our new query framework will open up a fruitful line of research in this area.

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil? - CounterPunch.org

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil?
A key issue for the accomplishment of renewables is power storage because of the impact of wind and solar intermittency, both of which are highly intermittent. Most studies assume gas will be the buffer for intermittency. Other than using fossil fuel such as gas as a buffer, an adequate power storage system to handle intermittency will require 30 times more material than what electric vehicles require with current plans, meaning the scope is much larger than the current paradigm allows.

Simulation of the thermoelectric effect in a multi-metallic superconducting cavity
Superconducting radio frequency accelerating cavities made with different material layers, such as copper, Nb or Nb3Sn, are susceptible to thermoelectric effects due to differences in Seebeck coefficients between the metals. A temperature gradient across the surfaces can drive thermoelectric currents, which may impact the cavity performance. A layered Cu/Nb/Nb3Sn single cell cavity was tested with cryocoolers in 2022. Three heaters were mounted on the cavity surface at different locations and t…
