I was an early investor in renewable energy, with our own solar panels and an energy contract with a cooperative Belgian energy company that provides 100% renewable electricity. While I believe that each kWh generated with non-fossil sources is a good thing, I am increasingly convinced that nuclear energy is the best long-term solution to the world's energy needs. Renewable energy has fundamental flaws, such as its intermittency and the need for large amounts of land, which make it difficult to scale up to meet global demand. Nuclear energy, on the other hand, is a reliable and scalable source of energy that does not produce greenhouse gases. some of the issues with renewables that I consider to be fundamental flaws Need for large amounts of land and sea . To replace 1 nuclear reactor of 1200 megawatt by 3.1 megawatt wind turbines, you'll need 1200 / 3.1 = 387 wind turbines, provided that the wind blows all the time. This is not the case, the average load factor across 100.000 ...

After enjoying a delicious mussels dish , there's often some leftover broth and mussels. Don't throw them away! Save them and make a flavorful soup the next day. Remove the remaining mussels from the broth and remove the mussels from the clams Add water to the broth so it gets the consistency of soup Add vegetables or fish bouillon cubes ( 1 per half liter of added water) Add a bit of curry powder Boil for another 5 minutes Mix the soup. Or don't :)  Add the mussels.  Note: Some people add the mussels to the soup and then mix them together. I personally don't recommend this, as it can make the soup grainy.

I once came across an interview with the late Victor Van Roy of 't Kriekske, a restaurant celebrated for its mussel dishes. While I've been unable to locate the original interview, I vividly recall Victor sharing his secrets to preparing mussels.  This recipe is inspired by the interview and perfectly embodies the principle that simplicity often yields the best results. Let's dive into it: Ingredients (for 1 person) 1 kg of large, high quality mussels Real butter 3 stalks and the leafs of green celery  1 big onion Peper  Optional: salt, garlic Preparation Do not clean the mussels  Chop the celery  Cut the onion in half moons Put the butter into the mussel pot Add the vegetables Add the mussels on top Season with peper (and optional salt) Close the pot and heat at a high temperature for about 5 minutes (until the mussels open up, not longer). Stir the pot a few times during the process so the vegetables get mixed with the mussels

Email has been a pain point for me for years. I've tried different strategies, but I still haven't found the perfect one. I'm not giving up, though. I'm constantly searching for new approaches to tame this beast! Here are the problems I'm facing: I rarely finish my day with an empty mailbox. I often have a significant backlog of emails. On most days, I finish the day with about 30 to 40 emails in my inbox. It begs the question: if I can maintain an average of 30 to 40 emails, why not aim for a consistently clear inbox?
