Ar lielu daļu eID karšu no 9. decembra vairs nevarēs veikt e-parakstus. Pārmaiņas ietekmēs eID kartes, kas izsniegtas laikā no 2019. gada 2. septembra līdz 2026. gada 30. janvārim, kurās izmantota noteikta tehnoloģiskā komponente e-paraksta nodrošināšanai. Pēc Latvijas Valsts radio un televīzijas centra sniegtās informācijas, izmaiņas var skart vairāk nekā 346 000 eID kartes, kurās ir mikroshēmas versija "Cosmo 8.1".

Tens of thousands of slabs of reinforced concrete weighing up to 1,000 tonnes are being abandoned in the ground as turbines hit the end of their working lives. The reinforced concrete base of a typical 2-3 MW wind turbine can weigh anywhere from 400 to 800 tonnes. But the concrete foundations of even bigger turbines (5 MW+) can exceed 1,000 tonnes. As lifespans end these massive concrete monoliths are abandoned where they lie. This is an issue of significant contention. In many jurisdictions, including Australia and the US, decommissioning regulations only require the operator to ensure the concrete foundation stays at a depth of 1 meter (approx. 3.3 feet) below the surface. The remaining 3-plus metres of these steel-reinforced concrete fossils are typically left in the ground indefinitely. Over the decades, they can interfere with deep-soil hydrology or remain as a permanent industrial remnant in rural landscapes. Contracts usually say operators are responsible for decommissioning. But the financial reality is complex. Bank guarantees or bonds set aside for removal (around €50,000 or $100,000 per turbine) are frequently far too low. Real-world estimates for total removal and site restoration can exceed $200,000 to $400,000 per unit. If the cost of total removal ($200k–$400k) exceeds the bond set aside by the operator ($50k–$100k), there is a strong financial incentive for companies to declare bankruptcy . Or they sell the asset to a shell company as the turbine nears its end-of-life, leaving a landowner with the bill. While the steel towers are more easily recyclable, their triple fibreglass blades are notoriously difficult to process and often end up in turbines blade graveyards. The theoretical benefits from renewable technology are meaningless compared with the staggering environmental costs.
