Biomass plants

Climate

Government

Biomass power plants: redundant or inevitable?
With biomass plants, the government wanted to ensure that the climate targets would be met. The government set aside 10 billion euros for the construction of 628 biomass plants. Objections to the biomass plants soon arose: they would not be as CO2-neutral as was assumed and there would be more useful ways to use the biomass.

Icecream

The first popsicle
In 1905, the popsicle was invented by eleven-year-old Frank Epperson. He made a drink with water and some soda powder that he stirred through with a stick. Because his mother told him to go to sleep, he left the drink. When he woke up the next morning, it had frozen and the drink with the stick in it was frozen too. This was the first popsicle.

History

Discovery journey

Columbus discovers America
Columbus was looking for a faster sailing route to the Dutch East Indies. He planned to sail there via the West. With the financial support of the Spanish Queen Isabella, his ships left for the West, but instead of finding a new route to the Dutch East Indies there, he found the undiscovered continent of America.

Leaning tower of Pisa

The leaning tower of Pisa
When the construction of the tower of Pisa began in 1173, not everything went smoothly. The tower began to lean more and more. The project was halted several times and the new floors were built straight, making the tower not only leaning, but also crooked. The leaning makes the tower very unique and therefore the tower has been a tourist attraction for years, bringing in a lot of money.
