Hi @vlemon
There are several news that many times we do not pay attention, however it is good to know about it.
Greetings from Venezuela.
Hello there @lanzjoseg !
Indeed these are quite a lot of news but it gives a good overview of what happened this Week :D
When thinking about the three news, it makes me think about ecological awareness and concern about the impact of industrial activities on the European continent, in general I think it is a good thing to look for the sustainability of the technological development and productive activities.
Personally, I liked the news of the energy micro network, I think that diversifying energy sources and having it work together is a good idea.
Greetings and welcome to Project Hope.
Hi friend @vlemon, there really seems to be a significant impact on the environment.
