Findings may help researchers develop a medication-friendly
grapefruit

January 8, 2025

Grapefruit and pummelo contain compounds called furanocoumarins
that may affect the blood levels of more than 100 prescription
drugs, so people taking these medications are advised to remove
these fruits from their diets.

Research published in New Phytologist reveals genetic information
about the synthesis of furanocoumarins in different citrus plant
tissues and species and provides new insights that could be used
to develop grapefruit and pummelo that lack furanocoumarins.

The research indicates that the production of furanocoumarins in
citrus fruit is dependent on the integrity of a single gene
within a multi-gene cluster that encodes enzymes of the
2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family.

"This research helps us to understand why fruit of certain citrus
species produce furanocoumarins and demonstrates how breeders and
researchers could develop furanocoumarin-free citrus varieties,"
said co–corresponding author Yoram Eyal, Ph.D., of the Volcani
Center, in Israel.

From Deutsche Welle:

How Norway became the trailblazer for electric vehicles

Nik Martin
January 8, 2025

Norway set a goal for all new cars sold to be electric by 2025, a
decade ahead of the European Union. Subsidies and incentives have
helped the Nordic country almost realize its goal, so what can
others learn?

Norway has become the poster child for the transition to electric
vehicles (EVs). Last year, official government statistics showed
that almost nine out of every 10 cars sold were electric.

In 2023 — the most recent year that data is available — the
global EV adoption rate was just 18%, according to the
International Energy Agency.

The Nordic country has made a remarkable commitment to combating
climate change, driven by strong government policies, robust
infrastructure, and a supportive public.

Norway aims for all passenger cars sold to be zero-emission
vehicles by the end of this year, a decade ahead of the European
Union — of which it is not a member.

Rich, small population, plus strong incentives

Norway's wealth and size undoubtedly played a role in its EV
success. The country has a population of 5.5 million and is one
of the world's richest nations, thanks to substantial oil
reserves — the largest in Europe after Russia. However, these
factors alone don't fully explain the remarkable progress made.

Robbie Andrew, a senior scientist at the Oslo-based CICERO Center
for International Climate Research, thinks Norway's decades-long
commitment to domestic EV development was a critical factor.

"In the 1990s, Norway made efforts to create a company to
manufacture EVs," Andrew told DW, noting how the absence of a
powerful domestic auto industry lobby facilitated these
initiatives.

Although early attempts at EV production had limited commercial
success — only a few thousand vehicles were sold — they fostered
public awareness and acceptance of electromobility. This paved
the way for the widespread adoption of battery-powered cars from
global manufacturers like Tesla and Volkswagen.

Tax breaks and ease of movement helped

Favorable state policies have, undoubtedly, helped smooth the
transition to electric vehicles. Norway levied no VAT
(Value-added tax) or import duties on EVs, which can make up
between a third and almost half of the cost of a new car.

EVs were also exempt from toll road charges and parking fees.
They could even use bus lanes in and around the capital, Oslo.

Higher-income groups benefited the most from the tax breaks and
the newly purchased EV was often a second family car.

Having almost reached the 2025 adoption goal, the government
recently rolled back some of those incentives. VAT is now
partially applied to large and luxury EVs, costing more than
500,000 kroner ($44,200, €42,500). Drivers from low-income groups
still gain from many of the incentives and falling electric
vehicle prices.

Bjorne Grimsrud, director of the Oslo-based transportation
research center TOI, thinks the government incentives have been
"very costly" but affordable, given the country's wealth and
desire to be climate-neutral by 2050.

"The government used to collect 75 billion kroner annually from
taxes and tolls on cars, but that has been cut in half," Grimsrud
told DW.

EV adoption elsewhere hurt by subsidy cuts

Other countries, including Germany, have been accused of
backsliding on climate-mitigation goals by cutting subsidies for
new electric vehicles long before targets are reached. On Monday,
the KBA federal transport authority revealed that 27.4% fewer EVs
were registered in 2024 in Germany, Europe's largest auto market.

Those decisions will need to be reconsidered, if Germany, a major
EV manufacturer, is to meet its target of having 15 million
electric vehicles on the road by 2030.

Norway prioritized home charging points

For Norway, another advantage is the power grid — one of the
greenest and most robust in the world. Hydropower accounts for
more than 90% of the country's electricity production, typically
producing a surplus of energy, which helped facilitate the home
charging of EVs.

"Whereas access can be a challenge elsewhere in Europe, most
Norwegians can charge their EV at home [rather than at public
charging points]," Grimsrud said.

A 2022 study by the Norwegian EV Association found around
three-quarters of electric vehicle owners live in detached homes,
which made it easier to install home-charging boxes. A report by
the London-based consultancy LCP found that 82% of EVs in Norway
are charged at home, although this figure is lower in urban
areas.

"The ubiquity of Level 1 charging in Norway probably made a much
bigger impact [on EV adoption]," Lance Noel, product lead at the
San Diego-based Center for Sustainable Energy, told DW. Level 1
charging refers to the lower-power charging stations used at
homes, businesses, and schools.

Noel said other countries would do well to "think of cheaper and
more visible ways to make EVs integrated with society" rather
than prioritizing faster, public charging infrastructure, known
as Level 2 and 3.

Trump unlikely to replicate Norway's success

As they await the return of Donald Trump to the White House, many
Americans are concerned he will shift from the Biden
administration's policies aimed at promoting EV adoption,
somewhat modeling Norway's achievements.

The Republican president-elect has pledged to terminate federal
tax credits of up to $7,500 (€7,230) for EV purchases as well as
levying new tariffs on foreign automakers, which could fuel
higher prices. Several US states also plan to shrink their own EV
incentives. This is despite a projection from Cox Automotive
that US EV adoption would reach just 8% last year.

The US has also seen a slowdown in EV sales in recent months, due
to affordability concerns and a lack of charging infrastructure.
Last week, Tesla reported its first sales decline in over a
decade.

Noting how EV policies are likely to take a "step back" under
Trump, Noel, who previously researched EV adoption in Nordic
countries said it was hardly a surprise that countries investing
the most in EV policy are reaping the most rewards.

"Perhaps the way countries that struggle the most to replicate
what Norway has done will be to find the political willpower to
have strong and clear policies," he added.

Ice Skating in front of Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Dec. 2013
Author: PersianDutchNetwork, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license

Ice skating is hugely popular in the Netherlands, especially on natural ice. The Elfstedentocht creates an almost unimagenable enthousiasm amongst huge parts of the population, even those not interested at all in sports, comparable to
events like the Carnival in Rio, but perhaps even more, because it is held so irregularly because of the dependence on harsh winters.

Legendary is the Elfstedentocht, the Eleven-City Tour. The Elfstedentocht, first held 116 years ago in 1909 is a long-distance tour skating event on natural ice, almost 200 kilometres (120 mi) long, which is held both as a speed
skating competition (with 300 contestants) and a leisure tour (with 16,000 skaters).

The Elfstedentocht is the biggest ice-skating tour in the world. The tour is held in the province of Friesland in the north of the Netherlands, leading past all eleven historical cities of the province.

The tour is held at most once a year, only when the natural ice along the entire course is at least 15 centimetres (6 in) thick; sometimes on consecutive years, other times with gaps that may exceed 20 years. When the ice is suitable,
the tour is announced and starts within 48 hours.

Most recent Elfstedentochten were:

4 January 1997
26 February 1986
21 February 1985
18 January 1963
14 February 1956
