Target response times for fire trucks are measured in minutes. Fire damage increases on an exponential curve, a couple minutes can make a huge difference when lives and homes are on the line. EVs are a great technology for urban settings in

Climate Change, even if it's as bad as the aggressive models predict, is an intractable problem. 1) There are trillions of dollars in petroleum reserves in the ground. This is money in the pockets of people, e.g. Putin. They aren'

EVs are a wonderful technology for a specific set of use cases, but there are many for which it is not economically or technically efficient. You cannot beat the energy density of hydrocarbon fuels. Thermodynamic efficiency of an ICE actual

Too early for an official RCA, but the surrounding facts of the known temperature sensitivity of the aquarium, the energy reduction mandates in Berlin, and the unusual cold point to that as the most likely cause. This poster on Zerohedge pr

Building temperatures were mandated reduced due to energy sanctions. This put stress on an already sensitive structure and caused it to fail.

The issue was caused by the forced reduction in heating due to energy sanctions. The decreased warmth of the lobby caused the aquarium, which was sensitive due to its size and construction, to contract and contort to the point of structura
