Criticism growing in Norway against the country's energy policy. While the price for electricity is getting to a record high tomorrow, 15,5 TWh of electricity has been exported this year, so far. Enough to power 800,000 Norwegian homes. (NRK) #Norway #energy #electricity

For the number nerds: even the relatively small snow making machines that are currently in action to make skiing possible in e.g. #Norway, #Sweden and other European nations use easily 25,000 litres of water, per hour. Doesn't sound very sustainable. #Scandinavia #wintersports

14 wounded, at least 6 to hospital with more severe wounds, in a frontal collission between a public transport bus and a truck in Sundsvall, Sweden. The 2nd such incident in Sweden in a week. Also in this case icing might have been a key factor. #Sweden #Roadsafety

Poland’s conservative government plans to make it easier for voluntary sex education programmes to be prevented from operating in schools at the request of parents.

The education minister warned that such classes can "morally corrupt" children https://notesfrompoland.com/2021/11/26/polish-government-to-help-parents-stop-corrupting-sex-education-in-schools/

Norway likely to announce restrictions to partly turn back the reopening of its society on 25 September. Norwegian health minister Ingvild Kjerkol says the strategy is no longer valid, now the number of infected people is on the rise. #COVID19 #Norway

About me

In 2006 I left my family, friends and the security of a relatively steady editorial job in the Netherlands to move to Sweden, for love. I crisscrossed like crazy through my new land to make a travel guide book, adding a new career as a language teacher at elementary and lower secondary schools, becoming a freelance Scandinavia correspondent & fixer for Belgian and Dutch media. Since Summer 2021 I live and work in Poland.
