1% (richest) = 15% emissions, so much for that But carbon tax (ideally with a dividend) catches this anyways

As a country you also can enforce restrictions/taxes onto the whole supply chain, as a initial measure (can't be done by weak countries though). Of course, mid term everyone should push for global carbon pricing models Germany was

The solution here is a payout of (most of) the taxes equally for every citizen and also use some of it for special groups (exceptions) that can't deal with even that (realistically). This is called a dividend: https://en.m.w

Is hydrogen good enough for long term storage of massive energy? (Winter summer cycle)? I heard concerns about density, and also not being able to use conventional gas storage (e.g. German gas network with a capacity sufficient for 3 months

In Matrix you "can't" select between multiple extensions. The protocol defines one way of doing things, so either you have that feature or you don't have it. There is no choice between two ways of doing things. Yes I kno

Yep, this. Once, I wanted to try Rust (while been heavily invested in C++ and a bit in C), and after just a bit digging into it, I discovered how present macros are in Rust (e.g. printing). This really turned me off such that I aborted lear

Nuclear has a huge waste issue, persisting between hundreds and a million years. Storage isn't that expensive, E.g. through gas. E.g. Germany maintenances Gas storage (currently filled with non renewable gas) that can power the entire

I follow along regarding CO2, because it has the most massive cost. However, I am not convinced that the blades are near the problems regarding nuclear waste The question is how long do you have to deal with that waste and how much it costs
