Fear of Arctic War Grows, Danish and Russian Fleets Clash – Copenhagen, 23 June 2017

Copenhagen has admitted Danish warships were responsible for the sinking of the Russian frigate Czar Putin in the Arctic Sea. The commander of the Danish Destroyer Prince Frederik declared the vessel was in Danish territorial waters off the coast of Greenland and had ignored multiple warnings. The Danish press release also stated it regretted the sinking of the ship and the loss of the Russian crew and that first shots were meant as deterrence only. Once the Russians started returning fire there was no other option than to target the ship itself, concluded the press release. Russian warships of the Northern Fleet are steaming up towards the area from bases all over Russia while the US is doing the same to come the aid of their Danish ally. The Canadian and Norwegian governments have not yet responded but are expected to support the Russian fleet in their effort as agreed upon by the Russo-Canadian Pact of 2015. The Arctic waters have been a region of tension ever since the rapid melting of the Arctic ice cap became a concern and an opportunity and the Ilulissat Declaration and more seriously after the failed Arctic Sea Summit of 2013. The region has been estimated to contain 25% of the remaining world supply of oil and natural gas. The UN and NATO are calling for a ceasefire and warn involved parties not to escalate the situation and go through the proper UN procedures to resolve the issue.

Denmark starts importing sewer waste from developing countries for their 'brown' energy supply - Copenhagen, March 30 2012

Denmark's energy department declared today they will start importing sewer waste from Third World countries to meet the demand for their hydrogen production facilities. Denmark, one of the front-runners in the production of hydrogen by means of facilitated bio-electrolysis, says they are only reaching 60 percent of their capacity with the insufficient amounts of sewer waste from their own population. Dan Mikkelsen, the project manager for this program, declared that the Danish people simple don't go the bathroom enough to fulfill the bio-hydrogen plants' needs. He jokingly stated that this was a better solution than trying to encourage people to start eating more. 'Brown energy is the future and if we can help some of our poorer nations in the process, it is all for the better', was his more serious response. The government funded TV commercial showing a man sitting on his toilet who is being shouted at by his family when he attempts to get off resulting in all the electrical devices in the house shutting down is exemplary of the humoristic approach the Danish government has taken to promote this program to the public. The YouTube video of this ad was last week's top download.
