"...offshore wind faces cost increases in orders of magnitude.” -- Ørsted CEO Mads Nipper

Allow me to be pedantic. He said plural "Orders" which means more than one. So the minimum cost increase would be 100X, but could be 1,000X

Do you really want a CEO who doesn't know what an order of magnitude is?

Ordinary people can be excused for misusing "decimate," but a CEO talking loosely like that does not instill confidence. The only confidence I'm sensing here is that he is a confidence man.

Germany, the nation, requires masculine pronouns, “The Fatherland”. Likewise, Israel, the nation, named for the man Israel, is masculine and should be referred to with masculine pronouns.

No more of, Israel has a right to protect “HER” citizens.
