This is basically the transit or ÖPNVKarte layer on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ . But that data is less complete and only shows route names at high zoom levels

All rail infrastructure should be mapped, even streetcar tracks. Tokyo is full of subway-like lines (in light-blue) so at first glance it doesn't seem like many are missing. This is based on OSM data, so the definition on the wiki shou

In general, nuclear power and renewables mix quite poorly. This is especially relevant for replacing gas, since gas is great at providing variable power (when needed) which neither nuclear power nor (most) renewables are good at. You can a

The part about germany is obviously not true. If you look at the electricity generation via gas, the share has not grown meaningfully since 2005. The state has not started large campaigns in other areas compared to electricity to phase out

Lots of European countries are having trouble with gas, Germany was (IMHO) singled out due to being content about their situation of being reliant on russia (see NS2) before the invasion.

Much less than in summer. Luckily wind turbines generate more during winter.

> expect fewer price spikes. No. But depending on what you're replacing with how much capacity, you can get cheaper electricity on average (for example removing coal). And the nuclear exit in europe, apart from germany, happened (a

That's not the case? The big issue in europe is that electricity is expensive, not unreliable. With more renewables the current price spikes in fossil energy wouldn't hurt so much (or, admittedly, more local production capability

Even worse, if you have a large amount of wind & solar, the remaining power sources have to be very flexible. Nuclear is very non-flexible (especially in the financial sense).

The first option is leading right now so that's probably correct. In general germans are pretty trusting of the justice system, so I'd expect "serious crime with warrant" to win (at least I'd vote for it).

> gives you no indication that the upper bound is 800%. But it isn't? For e.g. outside sheds (heated to 7°C) the COP can theoretically go up to 27. For solar panels, the highest theoretical efficiency is well below 100% and the boun

The issue is that nuclear scales well with size, but that increases iteration time & costs for a single iteration. It also leads to much less efficiency possible compared to e.g. solar cells. So once they didn't improve and were st

The move away from nuclear and the move towards gas are more-or-less unconnected. After the (currently in place) decision to shut of nuclear from 2011, the gas part of the electricity first dipped a bit, then went a bit above 2010 levels af

France and Germany have been expanding local tram & Stadtbahn networks, even opening new ones since the ~1990s. Tram-Trains have also become popular in Germany, due to offering more stops in the middle. Not sure if you mean trams or bra

That's not accurate and depends on the state. For example the Idaho stop allows bikes to (mostly) ignore stop signs, and sometimes even treat red lights as stop signs.

At least in germany, E-Bikes are easy. They're the same as bikes. They can be used anywhere except for sidewalks/pedestrianized areas without explicit "Fahrrad Frei" signs, Autobahns and roads with bike ways adjacent to

That may be the case, but that's the reason why termux exists. If termux accepts that, the only logical consequence is to cease development.

http://openstationmap.org generates layer based maps for stations based on osm data. Looks a lot less cooler than these diagrams, but (may) work for more stations.
