People don’t seem to get that

• CO2 emissions are decoupled from GDP, and that
• developing countries might not walk the same path to prosperity as the industrialized countries did.

there should’ve been an EU wide mandate since years, to install Type 2 chargers for x% of any new or renovated parking space. there are still new parking houses built with no or next to no EV charging.

affordable HSR would eliminate short distance flights on its own

we’d want a quick & decisive victory

that’s literally every war, ever

the stereo often has an aux input on its backside that you can wire up

early '90s? nah, give me fuel injection, catalytic converter, ABS, and airbags, please

I can!

people losing interest on their own. yes it’s slower, but true change can only happen through internal motivators.

kinda, yes, but not through state-enforced bans

Small diesel car is much better than huge EV car in any city. [citation needed]

starlink alone has more than doubled the number of satellites in space. like, they alone have launched more than everyone else combined until that point. it’s ridiculous.

next to no one gets fixed term leases here, and I think even if you would, after certain time, by law it implicitly changes into an open-ended one

rural areas here have buses with stop-on-demand. the bus continues on when no one is in the stop AND no one on board has pressed the stop button. very convenient.

you just need transit that’s frequent enough that you stop caring! metros in cities are great example, no one checks the schedule, it is basically always available within a few minutes.

In Germany HOAs aren’t a thing and by law you have quite good tenant rights. for example once you have an open ended rental contract, your landlord can’t really throw you out on their whim.

solar alone is never going to cover your needs. the moment you add the cost of battery storage, nuclear is definitely cheaper. yes, even new construction. for now. when the cost of batteries go down to 1/10th of what it’s today, this might change of course.

the price of atomic energy is like 10% coupled to the price of uranium. the equipment, the salaries, the security measures, all those things are so much more expensive compared to the fuel.

people rarely grasp what 4 magnitudes of energy density increase mean.

it’s going to the Philippines usually 😉

But 60% of the potential right voters say they just vote them out of protest.

voting for nazis “out of protest” is just a thin veiled excuse for voting nazis
