I am Misanthropos, and hate mankind.

I took the ice road out to the middle of Lake Mille Lacs last night to wait her out. The wild data was hard to forecast. If you went to bed early, you missed it! The best was after 4am when we hit a strong G4! That's when my phone (my camera) died from cold 😭 Brutal -22°F windchill on the lake! 🥶

Because we need European champions for a global market. We are also working a large-scale, deep and liquid capital market that attracts a wide range of investors. An interconnected and affordable energy market.
