The EU finally plans to implement its Radio Equipment Directive (RED) of 2014. ... with article 3(3)i making it almost impossible to run custom software on devices like routers or smartphones.

This will have a huge impact on the open source community and projects like OpenWRT.

"Each radio system would have to have access to the Internet to get the conformity confirmation from a server"

The concept goes so far as "noncompliant equipment will be remotely decommission"

Ella, an activist who was evicted from the occupied Dannenröder Forest in Hessen, Germany, was yesterday sentenced to 27 months in jail. The sentence was based on contradictory evidence from anonymous SEK officers, and is considered to be a political sentence designed to set an example.

The forest was occupied to protest the construction of yet another highway, and was evicted by police last Autumn in brutal and dangerous manner. Since November 26 Ella has been in preventive prison awaiting trial.

The struggle against highway construction in Germany continues!

This is a boneyard near Paris, France with hundreds of electric powered cars. Mind you these are only cars used by the City of Paris and not personal vehicles.

All of these have the same issue: the battery storage cells have given out and need replaced. Why not just replace them you ask? Well two reasons. First the battery storage cells cost almost double what the vehicle cost new, and second no landfill or disposals will allow the batteries to be disposed of there.

So these green fairy tale electric cars are all sitting in vacant lots while their batteries drain toxins into the ground.

Still think we need to go green?
