I also wonder what Dutch law is as to the admission of DNA evidence in trial is. Is it enough to provide grounds for arrest, but not usable in court?

According to the media/the prosecutor, the DNA evidence (which was rerun after the accused was arrested) is not sufficient on its own, they will need either a confession or strong circumstantial evidence (proof he was near the scene of the murder for example).

That doesn't mean renewable became any more viable economically, or that other poorer countries have any chance of replicating this feat.

Actually it sort of does. The massive investment by Germany (and a few other nations) has resulted in a dramatic lowering of the price of renewables.

Just remember that EU recognizes burning freshly cut TREES as Biofuel.

As they should. That's exactly what it is.

not if burning 3% trees in coal plant magically makes it a GREEN Energy.

It makes it 3% green energy.

Germany itself is desperate for power because they decided to shut down power plants without building replacements, but they are apparently still better off than France.

The problem in Germany is mainly grid related; there's a lot of power in the north, but insufficient North-South grid capacity. This combined with the extreme cold of the last few weeks had lead to them powering up their reserve power plants (mostly old, unprofitable oil and coal power stations).

And just for clarities sake, because it's something that has mislead a lot of people: they didn't decide to shut down their power plants without building any replacement, they first decided to keep open plats which where scheduled to be shut down and then reversed again.

This again? This train will *never* be built. And it's a stupid thing to build. Passenger rail hasn't made money since the mid 1800's, going faster won't make it any more viable.

Perhaps not in the US (though even there the ACELA semi-high speed is by all account quite profitable) but the almost all high speed lines are profitable en there a quite a few systems that are profitable, especially if you count the revenue from high speed lines.

The US (or more correctly the Allies) also won because the Soviet Union kept fighting, even after losing a shitload of soldiers (to say nothing of civilians) in fighting the Axis forces. Arguably they couldn't have done it without US industrial support (especially trucks), but that is what actually broke the German war machine.

(Yes, not the point of the comment, and somewhat informed people will know this, but the shorted version: "The US singlehandedly won WW II" is a pet peeve of mine.)
