Good evening,


as a child of the Ruhr area, one of us naturally knows exactly how important the manta, i.e. the car, not the animal, is for cultural history!

Even if one of us was too young to drive such a vehicle in the early seventies.

But maybe the opportunity will come soon:

Opel wants to build the Manta again

.

Well, as an e-vehicle, the guys in Gelsenkirchen-Buer would of course only have smiled at that time.

But you just have to move with the times.

And after 2028, Opel only wants to manufacture electric cars anyway.

The main thing is that you don't forget the rod antenna with the Manta, on which the foxtail was attached back then.

    The

    E-Manta could then be used in an environmentally friendly way to head for a new residential area in the Gallus district of Frankfurt

    , where something downright revolutionary is supposed to happen. The large data centers in Frankfurt are huge consumers of electricity, and most of the energy goes to cooling the computers. So there is a lot of waste heat. So far this remains unused. Now it is to be used in the Gallus to heat apartments. So that's no less eco-friendly than an eco-manta. And not so easy because the waste heat is not warm enough. You can find out how to do this in the article by Inga Janovic, our data center expert.

    Now it's getting beastly. The FAZ has taken on the sponsorship of an animal in the zoo. No, not for a duck, although wicked tongues claim the newspaper duck would have been the right choice. But for a howler monkey. Journalists have a special relationship with roaring. Not because they shout their opinion, we at the FAZ in particular argue rather subtly and quietly, but because we produce screamers every day, more precisely, corner screamers, that is what the reports in the corner of a newspaper page have been called since time immemorial.

    So it is a baby howler monkey, only it has no name. Readers should decide on this.

    So, get on with the big work!

    And in addition, the Museum of World Cultures in Frankfurt has returned a historic leather shirt to the political leader of the Teton Lakota in the United States, Chief Daniel Hollow Horn Bear
