There's a ban on mobiles and laptops within 5km of the telescope. I have no idea how far away the towns are but that seems impossible to enforce with tourists. I guess it just doesn't operate during certain hours because of interf

I work remotely and find it very hard to believe you can go "anywhere anytime". Personal still take leave to go traveling, the infrastructure in most places on Earth is virtually nonexistent. There's a reason you won't f

There's no minimum wage in Sweden and waitstaff there earn good money, the hospitality average would be about $4000 USD monthly. By law you can pay your staff 10 cents an hour but no one does because that's absurd exploitation of

The upfront costs of wind or solar are about the same as building a coal or gas turbine power plant and have far less ongoing costs. Really not sure why people parrot these falsehoods that are easily proven wrong. https://www.eia

How did you get that very low figure? Everyone living like the US is put at using 4x the planets resources, which would suggest 1.5 billion people. That's the extremes too, the EU consumes much less. http://personal.psu.edu&
