Wow, 49 euro cents per kWh is roughly four times as much as I currently pay in south-east USA! I will not complain about my next utility bill. Blessed be the nuclear plants and considerable quantities of pumped storage near me.

To make my statement more precise, I know what you're saying is true but what I mean is, in a three month span one can put noise abatement panels along a freeway, in say, Charlotte North Carolina. (Just to be optimistic in this hypothe

I like to imagine/describe this as like driving three 2004 Toyota Camry at one time. Probably you could do that and have it still weigh in below the Hummer. That would make a good YouTube video.
