And when we've somehow stopped using fossil fuels for electricity, what next? Guess what a lot of plastic is made from? And how planes fly, and boats move? And there's lots of countries that aren't at 'Western' livi

We usually hear about the US and Canada losing power mostly due to freezing rain across a continent sized area as most of the power cables are on poles. How does that compare to Norway?

It took several decades for the language server protocol and debugger server protocol (or whatever it's called). Is there a common 'agent' protocol yet? Or are these companies still in the walled-garden phase?

It's just missing the inevitable 'desire paths' that are the routes that people really want to walk, not some wibbly wobbly path that a junior planner drew.

We're talking about historically, up until now. They've continued to bring online more fossil fuel and nuclear plants in last decade, whilst Europe has done the complete opposite. It's only this year that fossil fuel plants

That quote mentions gas only. What about coal, oil, and biofuel? Record energy costs are a thing. If solar and wind are 'free', why have European energy prices risen so much? The real-world contra-indicators are the USA, China a
