Airports in western Europe struggle with cold weather : NPR
Snow and cold weather in Europe stranded thousands of air travelers from around the world.
JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
After seven days of travel chaos in Western Europe, a winter storm is expected to keep dozens more planes on the ground this weekend. The delays could strand thousands more passengers from around the world. The worst hit airport is the one in Amsterdam, where reporter Indy Scholtens spoke to travelers.
INDY SCHOLTENS, BYLINE: Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport is still playing catch up after some 300,000 passengers were stranded this week, when snow and freezing weather canceled over 3,000 flights, according to Flightradar. For days now, hundreds have been standing in line, trying to get on a rebooked flight, hoping for a pause in the bad weather. Paul Bryant and his wife left Luxembourg on Tuesday to travel to Seattle.
PAUL BRYANT: The first flight that get canceled was a flight from Findel, which is Luxembourg, to Schiphol. That was the first flight that get canceled. So we took a train. Then we hit the Netherlands’ electronic outage on Tuesday. So we had a 4.5 hour train ride, ended up being about 10.5 hours going all over the place.
SCHOLTENS: The cold weather and travel chaos has been hitting much of Western Europe this week. In France and parts of the U.K., tens of thousands of homes lost power. Germany halted train services, and major airports in London, Hamburg and Paris canceled dozens of flights on Friday. Here in Amsterdam, airport and airline officials have struggled to deal with the power outage and a shortage in de-icing product required to spray on plane’s wings so they can fly safely. The airport CEO, Pieter van Oord says it’s an exceptional situation.
PIETER VAN OORD: (Through interpreter) We haven’t experienced anything like this at Schiphol for 10 years because we’ve never had such a long period of snow. The biggest obstacle is that the airlines have to go back to their old schedules, and that takes days.
SCHOLTENS: Meanwhile, the bad weather is making it hard to even get to the airport, with travel by train and car made difficult as well. Some of those who got stuck, however, are making the best of it. Madeline Smith is a 28-year-old from Kansas City who came back to the airport to take her chances on a new flight home.
MADELINE SMITH: And I knew I could be here for days, so I finally said, let me just get a hotel.
SCHOLTENS: She spent some time exploring Amsterdam instead of waiting.
SMITH: I mean, there’s thousands of people, and why not enjoy a city while we’re here and make the best of the situation. So…
SCHOLTENS: And that situation isn’t expected to improve across much of Western Europe until Monday at the earliest.

Environmental Groups Demand PSC Reconsider Data Center Energy Plan Overreach
ATLANTA – Today, environmental groups demanded the Georgia Public Service Commission reconsider Georgia Power’s plan to build the most expensive gas plants in the nation.
The Sierra Club, the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) filed a motion to reconsider Georgia Power’s “Requests for Proposals,” or RFP, which the PSC approved on Dec. 19. Georgia Power’s plan could lock Georgia ratepayers into higher utility bills for decades while expanding methane gas plants that will pollute Georgia communities until 2075. The PSC’s own staff estimates customer bills could go up about $20 per month and customers would pay $50-60 billion over the next 50 years.
Despite clear evidence that Georgia Power does not need to procure 10 gigawatts of resources by 2031 —including the unnecessary, overly expensive 757-megawatt Plant McIntosh gas plant— the Commission approved the company’s plan anyway. The Sierra Club, SELC and SACE’s motion asks the Commission to reconsider its decision in light of the record.
“The PSC approving Georgia Power’s RFP will line the pockets of corporate executives and shareholders while hardworking Georgians will be left to foot the bill for the most costly fossil fuel expansion in the country. All in the name of speculative data centers that hog power and water in our local communities,” said Michael Hawthorne, Campaign Organizing Strategist for the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign. “This lame duck PSC has delivered another blow to Georgians and the PSC must reconsider the RFP.”
“This approval by the PSC gives Georgia Power the largest and most expensive grid expansion in the country. This is state-sanctioned corporate welfare approved by two lame duck commissioners with one foot out the door, and it’s exactly the business-as-usual approach that voters overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box in November,” said Adrien Webber, Sierra Club Georgia Chapter Director. “The RFP should be reconsidered now that Commissioners Johnson and Hubbard have been seated.”
“The PSC’s late December approval of high-cost and high-risk investments in support of speculative data center gambits demands reconsideration,” said Dr. Stephen A. Smith, Executive Director of Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. “This is too much bill payer money, directed at too many risky projects, with too little oversight, and too few protections.”
