It has a headline named "Levelized Cost of Energy Comparison—Unsubsidized Analysis" on page 2 and I hope you can draw your own conclusions from that.

Wind has some of the lowest levelized costs among all energy sources. There is a great link with breakdowns and charts at the Further Reading in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_b

You're posting that link without comment, as if we haven't used that through the years and from experience noticed that nothing ever happens with bugs, requests, and such submitted through that form.

They have a sizeable nuclear electricity production, and in energy use overall they are behind USA, but still worse than many other places: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?end=2018...

I got a similar number and by far food was the big number, the past few months have been meat-heavy and I can see that reflected in the results. It alone was at 2.7. My transportation is at 0.2. Same thing with me living alone in an apartme

I'm not in any way saying your conclusions are incorrect. But our description ("...one skin of thin brick work, insulation (foam), breeze block, more insulation, steel/aluminium frame with insulation, covered in plasterboard

You're welcome, but it's getting worse here as well. The western part gets warmer and wetter and the eastern part warmer and drier. Currently advances in agricultural tech keeps grain output in check despite the problems arising f

I'm not entirely sure these two opposites should have the same weight. Being a decent human should be the default and just some minor steps into shitty behaviour should be enough to justify significant criticism of a person. Consider t

It's a lot of what we are conditioned to do and expect. We learned that the default cost for most apps is free (with the hidden cost of data mining), this assumption can be challenged and possibly changed. It won't necessarily be
