I'm very happy to see this type of vehicles emerge. I own a twizy (that can go up to 80km/h, and 100km/hour with a software modification, thus needing a licence), and it's the perfect urban vehicle. I live a bit outside

It's more or less the same. But the Twizy can go up to 80 km/hour (well, the model needing a licence). I love my twizy, it's the perfect city vehicle

You suppose that you only have one "hoarder" (or speculator) in the market. Once you have many, and if they don't talk together (which would be forbidden), masks would sell lower than what you think

Exactly ! If the problem is Climate Change (and thus CO_2 production), why would you, in your sane mind, shut down nuclear power ? It's the best method to produce electricity with the less grams of CO2 per kwh..

I use https://www.swisstransfer.com/ , which even if it only supports 50Gb and not 100Gb, it is totally free and doesn't need a account to upload the files. Way easier

1kg * c² = 24 TWh. Supposing a Tesla averages 200Wh/km, then it would drive ~ 10¹¹ km (4 light-days, or around 600 times the earth-sun distance... which is a lot)

How can you recommend books based on only one observation ? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask many books the user liked in order to make a better "user hyperplane" ?

More power also means higher bids and more frequency control which is very useful too for 1st layer ancillary services. Energy is good, but power is also very important. You can stabilize the frequency (with active power) and the voltage (w

I live in a small european city, and thus we bought a second hand "Renault Twizy" with my SO. It's a small car: 2 seater, 80km of range, and a top speed of 110 km/hour (when modded) on the highway. People always think it
