Complex projects in places other than NYC don't seem to have the same extreme level of superfluous labor that drives up the costs. "The unions and vendors declined to release the labor deals, but The Times obtained them. Along wit

Why would that mean the underground complexity is any less so in Europe?

Are these American cities that unique in this regard, or for that matter, even that old? Probably this is a genuine difference between a novel development in a new Chinese city, but the fact is these major infrastructure projects are done m

When it comes to realizing an offshore wind farm, Europe doesn’t have the Byzantine multilevel and multiagency permitting process that the US does. Permitting delays and complexity are largely what’s holding back offshore wind in the US.

I was always under the impression that Germany is exceptionally cash-centric and credit-averse.

Noble as your motives are, you're still spamming and that's not the intention of this forum. There are "Show HN:" posts...perhaps that's a better option for you.

The point being, again, it's not impractical to rent a car for a long road trip for everyone. It might not work for you, but then again not everyone leaves at 2am for a weekend trip off-road in the mountains during Canadian winter.

It doesn't necessarily. My point is that it's a more challenging environment than on the east coast, and I'm not aware of any offshore wind projects in planning stages on the west coast. Perhaps there are some (but I wouldn&#

Perhaps it’s cultural, but plenty of my coworkers who drive to work in Europe still rent cars for long road trips. It’s really not that impractical if it’s really occasional.

The water gets really deep really fast off the coast of northern California, and floating wind is still in its infancy. For example, the water depth is already 200m deep less than 25 nautical miles offshore San Francisco. For comparison in

Last summer was quite an outlier...Europe was extremely dry and hot. So much so that previously unknown archaeological sites became apparent when all the grass died.

But that doesn't solve the heat problem for everyone who's living in a house that's already been built, and I don't think you're suggesting to rebuild all the existing housing to have passive cooling. It would be gr

Yeah that's why I'm wondering if perhaps there's a knock-on effect where a reduction in a local bat population causes trees to suffer, shifting a local ecosystem out of balance. I suppose though, all things considered, this m
