A miracle: an actual grain (barley?) field near Utrecht!
All but disappeared in the last few decades; replaced by grass and maize here.

Grain field with tree
Close up. Barley?

Weer een halfgare poging om ‘slim laden’ te introduceren. Slechts 1 of 2 cent per kWh korting voor gebruikers (dagelijkse spread zo’n 10 cent bij dynamische contracten). Niet interoperabel, nog steeds ‘knijpen’ in de avonduren (daarmee laag effect & efficiëntie), uitschakelen ingewikkeld handmatig.

On expected #V2G returns: “Given the Netherlands’ more strained grid, Faton believes savings will be even higher there.”
Tough bet in a country where grid operators provide no financial incentives to residential customers to shift demand, let alone support the local grid with V2G.

On my way to The Hague, to draw the red line for Dutch government with respect to Israel's continuing genocide in Gaza.
After last time's 100,000 participants, NS put in a lot of extra trains. My very early one already has a lot of passengers in red.

#Utrecht zit al decennia onder de knoet van Hoog Catharijne. Een gedrocht van disfunctionele openbare ruimte, dat met de aanzuigende werking van parkeergarages de wegen verstopt (daar helpt geen knip tegen) en de Catharijnesingel nog steeds ontsiert met mislukte architectuur en lege plinten.

Brug over het water, waarlangs huizen staan. De brugleuningen zijn met breiwerkjes versierd, op het voorste hekje is een gebreid bordje met de tekst 'Hans Spekmanbrug' zichtbaar

Not your typical early summer evening here in the central Netherlands...
And a bit warmer in the city of Utrecht. But bicycle commuters still cycle home :)
More scientific post to follow when I cooled down a bit.

Good Morning #Canada
In 1713, with the Treaty of Utrecht, Acadia was ceded to the British. On June 23rd of that year, a proclamation was issued that all Acadians must pledge allegiance to Britain or leave the territory. After decades of resistance, in 1755, the British began forcibly deporting Acadians. This proved the British applied equal treatment to anyone who lived in the eastern territory before them, Native or French.
