  • market failure !

    The science tells us that GHG emissions are an externality; in other words, our emissions affect the lives of others. When people do not pay for the consequences of their actions we have market failure. This is the greatest market failure the world has seen. – former World Bank chief economist Sir Nicholas Stern, 2006.

  • commuting with my recumbent

    An old photo made with my camera. I am not used to take my camera with me all the time, so when I finally find out how to blog with my cameraphone, there will be more postings.

  • leaking gasked

    I bought an old Citroên AX for my daughters. Unfortunately the cylinderhead gasked was leaking. Therefore I could by the car for a friendly price, but had to renew the gasked and flatten the cylinderhead. Now the girls are making routine when driving to festivals in Antwerp and Köln. I think it is important to…
