This is what rubs me most about the decision. Thanks to Germany the whole of Europe is now dependant on Russian gas, but at least a few politicians got promotions out of it right? When my country joined the EU they were forced to decommissi

In the US the majority of natural gas comes from "tight gas" which is produced by fracking. It can also be produced as a by-product of crude oil extraction (the alternative is flaring it off) or from biogas (capturing methane from

In the EU you need a goods vehicle (truck) license to drive a vehicle + contents weighing more than 3,500kg (7,700lbs). Even most RVs here come well under that limit so you don't need a special license.

This works for upshifting too, it's known as double clutching. If you have a turbo diesel it's a good skill to learn as you can shift smoothly while still keeping the turbo spooled up and not cause as much wear on the gearbox.

Most diesel engines can run on kerosene just fine, so I expect this would be the same. In fact kerosene is often blended with diesel in cold climates as regular diesel below -25C/0F will start to get thick. The reason why you don'
