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.

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.

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.

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.

In this project, a new innovative pharmacy model, Big Data and Computing, was developed with the use and consideration of robotisation and extensive automation. This new form of pharmaceutical care was perceived as more pleasant by patients due to the personal approach and also showed better results. Despite the positive results for patients, wholesalers did not want to cooperate.

A search for a way to give all 4,500 residents of the Overvecht district of Utrecht (The Netherlands)- 95% tenants, 5% private tenants and owners - an induction hob, without it costing them anything. This seemed to be (unjustifiably) low-hanging fruit for the 'natural gas-free in 2030' mission.
