Uranium, which is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity, is known. Heat is the desired goal. But uranium is also used in other areas of our lives. Nuclear fission, for example, allows its use in medicine, industry and research.

For thousands of years people have been exploring the possibilities of mining. Difficult places are yet to be conquered. Greenland, for example, became particularly interesting at the beginning of the year. US President Donald Trump had the idea that America could buy Greenland - because of the mineral resources. The region is cold and underdeveloped, but rich in mineral resources. Russia is particularly interested. After all, the most important nickel production region lies within the Arctic Circle.

Since its inception, the automotive sector has undergone the greatest changes ever. There are still uncertainties as to how fast electric mobility will develop. With regard to the range, charging stations, subsidies or residual values of the vehicles, much of what the future holds is still unclear. Autonomous driving makes the whole thing even more complex. With the name of its Golf-like ID.3, VW shows how important the vehicle is. Number one was the Beetle and number two was the Golf. The new all-electric model ID.3 is thus intended to herald the future.
