What are the differences in wind farm design and density between Germany and Denmark, and how do these differences contribute to the varying impacts of wind theft?

High-density wind farm installations in German waters (8-10 megawatts per square kilometer) exacerbate wind theft, unlike Denmark's approach (4-5 megawatts). This results in decreased wind speeds and energy generation, with projections of a 40% yield reduction for a 70-gigawatt installation in the German Bight.

How did climate change-related droughts contribute to the contamination of Perrier's water source and the subsequent illegal filtration practices?

The scandal involves accusations of industrial fraud and collusion with the French government to maintain the image of purity despite using illegal filtration methods to address water contamination caused by climate change-induced droughts. This threatens the market perception and profitability of brands like Perrier, Evian, and Vichy, which rely on the image of natural purity.
