Ondřej Kowalik summarized that the owner of Vítkovice, Aleš Pavlík, did not want to sell the club, but at the same time, he spoke about the challenging economic reality. According to Kowalik's post, Pavlík was among the five largest owners in the Extraliga and described hockey as a non-recoverable investment. The club's annual budget was reportedly around 200 million crowns. According to Kowalik, Pavlík compared ticket revenues: Kometa was expected to gain 60–70 million crowns from season tickets, while Vítkovice only managed 7.5 million for 1,250 season tickets. Pardubice or Sparta, he claimed, were expected to bring in 75–100 million crowns per year from ticket sales. According to Pavlík, there was interest from players in Ostrava, but the club did not have a sufficient budget; he described the city's support as one of the worst in the league. Kowalik stated that Pavlík wanted to build his own arena for 5–6 thousand people, he already had the land available and planned to finance the construction himself. In the current arena, according to him, Vítkovice did not receive any income from refreshments, and Pavlík felt like a guest there. In the interview, he also admitted that dismissing coach Holaně was a mistake and said that Varaďa's presence in the locker room was not effective. On the other hand, he stood firmly behind the current team and its Swiss style. According to Pavlík, Vítkovice lacked a dormitory, connections with a school, and appropriate facilities for youth; therefore, talents aged 14–15 were leaving for Liberec and Karlovy Vary. Kowalik also wrote that Pavlík tried to reunite the fans. The meeting left a great impression on him, and he appreciated that the owner spoke openly in front of the fans. According to him, it was evident from Pavlík that he cared about the club's fate and wanted to do everything possible to help it rise. #Vítkovice #hokej #sport (translated)

Wirtschaftsminister Habeck fliegt Anfang Dezember 2022 nach Namibia und schwärmt von einem riesigen Windkraftprojekt mit angeschlossener Wasserstoff- und Ammoniak-Erzeugung, um binnen von vier Jahren Deutschlands Gas-Not zu mildern Die vier Jahre sind fast vorbei, wie ist der Stand? - Das vom deutsch-britischen Konsortium "Hyphen" verantwortete Projekt steckt immer noch in der "Entwicklungs- und Planungsphase fest" - Es gibt "Umweltbedenken" - Die ausgewählte Region bei Lüderitz ist für die übliche Technik der Aufstellung nicht geeignet. Im Juni 2026 gelang zum ersten Male der Aufbau einer 6 MW-Anlage ohne 100m-Raupenkran mit einer extra entwickelten neuen Technik - RWE hat 2025 seine damals zugesagte Abnahmegarantie für 300.000 Tonnen Ammoniak zurückgezogen - Als frühester Produktionsstart wird jetzt "Anfang der 30er Jahre" genannt - Möglicherweise könnte der Strom auch nur in Namibias Netz eingespeist werden. Dazu müsste aber der namibische Staat, welcher mit 24% an dem Projekt beteiligt ist, einen profitablen Strompreis garantieren. Der will sich aber nicht festlegen. #Energie #Windkraft #Wasserstoff
