The wind is not even the worst part of a hurricane, the rain and raised water level can be way more damaging than the wind alone.

I’m sure your country will be happy to welcome the people from these islands. Right ?

It’s not like people living there really have a choice.

I disagree, a fan is way more economical and ecological than the AC.

So you should put the fan first and if the fan is not enough then you put the AC on. Especially if it’s a ceiling fan that is almost completely quiet.

You have a car that can be found at 10k£ new ?

More precisely, when you sell the tenant has the right to buy it first.

If the landlord is thinking of accepting an external offer under the initial price then he has to ask again to the tenant if he would buy it at this lower price.

They are expecting a very active hurricane season this year, they might manage to lose a ship or two

The MG cyberster seems promising. I’m drivng the MG4 and I rely like the car.

The warning needs to stay on for two months to keep it relevant.

Unit price labeling is mandatory in France too. This is the only price I’m looking at when shopping.

Is it really a drop in the bucket b when we take the value per vehicle ?

If we compare Ford to BYD for example.

In 2023 Ford sold around 2 millions cars and BYD around 3 millions.

For Ford only 72 608 cars out of these 2 millions were EV (3.6%) For BYD it’s was almost 1.6 million EV (53.3%)

In 2023 Ford got $9.2 billions from the US government to produce EV, so around $126 000 per EV sold in 2023.

$126 000*1 600 000 = $2 trillions ! So unless BYD received more than $2 trillions dollars from the Chinese government in 2023 it means that each EV sold by Ford is more subsidized than an EV sold by BYD.

This is not an analysis, I took huge shortcuts in this comment and might have done mistakes in the calculations.

The argument of China subsidizing EV is always coming back but I would be curious to know the comparison with the US.

The US are subsidizing EV too I would not be surprised if the amount of subsidy per EV produced is much higher for US manufacturers than China.

Its the other way around, to some people cilantro have a similar taste than the smell of stinkbug.

For these people cilantro taste awful.

This is what France is doing.

The subsidy for EV is 27% of the price of the car with a maximum of 4000€. (+3000€ for people with low revenues).

The cost of the car must be under 47000€, the car must weight less than 2400kg and it must have a low environmental impact during its production.

The goal of this last rule is clearly to indirectly exclude cars produced in China. I think tariffs against a specific country is not possible in the European Union so French lawmakers had to come up with a creative solution to exclude Chinese cars.

Plus the $7500 tax credit for buying an electric car, this is another form of subsidies for car maker.

You are right, I have not read my sources properly so o got mixed up between the electricity production and energy production.

Especially with this picture

Most of French power plants are using evaporative cooling. Only 4 out of the 18 are rejecting water into the river.

Swiss green party might not like nuclear power but Switzerland is producing less than 30% of their electricity, the other 70% is imported from neighbors, mostly France.

Soooo they should probably be nice with their neighbors.

Never mind, see comment below

there are places where fluoride occurs naturally in drinking water at higher concentrations than it is added artificially and there don’t seem to be significant health problems.

I’m simply replying that there is places where fluoride occurs naturally in drinking water at higher concentration that it is added artificially and there is significant health problems in these places.

Does it means that fluoride in low concentration like in the US water system is dangerous ? No, it just means that very high concentration can be dangerous.
