I read the study wrong. A single transatlantic trip produce the same amount of emissions as eating meat for two full years. 1.6 tons for a flight vs 0.8 tons for a eating meat for a whole year.

Technically the lowest of the high impact actions. Combine one Moderate Impact Action with a part of a second Moderate Impact Action and you get more than a plant-based diet, or just do one of the better High Impact Action.

I have long advocated that EU should be in the forefront and start sunsetting fossil fueled power generation, by setting a date when no new construction is allowed and then letting the existing fleet naturally die. It would send a strong si

Looking at how Norway basically reached 100% EV for new cars, it is not that complicated to get people to make rational decision. The government subsidized new purchases by 50%, they removed bridge tolls and city taxes for EV users, reduced

What is the cost balance from being that net exporter? Are they selling energy for more than they buy? Its funny that the term "net exporter" is about the volume of energy, not the value of energy.

That was my interpretation, in which there are many ways of cooking of steak. Some will be very easy, while other to methods seems to give many chefs problem (both professional and home chefs). Many people seem for example to associate well

I wonder if something is lost to translation. Cooking a stake could be the simple act of putting the steak in the oven with basically zero seasoning with a thermometer and then wait until medium rare with some optional searing. It could als

Can coal plants buy insurance against global warming? Can a hydroelectric dam buy insurance against downstream flooding? Very few things in the power grid has insurance against major accidents. It is even doubtful for example if a forest fi

I have compared prices in fast-charging stations to gasoline here in Sweden, and a gasoline car get more miles for the money. The price can be up to 100x, or 10000% that of the market price that the fast-charging stations buy their electric

That seems very cheap if it means you don't need to build new transmission. The average cost in south of Sweden is much higher than that, which in euro would be around €100 per megawatt-hour. Prices are also expected to further increas

Hydro is great, except for a few problems. The biggest is that they are causing extinction for several species. The second biggest in central and northern Europe is that hydro is already used in every place where its reasonable to build the

Rifles are problematic as a single category since that involves hunting rifles. We can look at machine guns as a category that is neither rifle or handgun, and with limited use in hunting. That said, the death rate of machine gun ownership

When we say that handguns cause more deaths than assault rifles, is that normalized towards ownership? Data and statistics is as always dependent on how and what you measure.

It is time to set a zero-fossil fuels goal in the grid, similar to how we are banning the sale of new ICE in cars. I would say a complete stop in EU for construction of new grid sized fossil fueled power plants by 2030, and a stop of produc
