2% of GDP is the estimate to go 100% renewables for the entire energy sector (not just electricity) for developed countries. For instance for Germany the estimate is 500 to 3000 bn EUR in total.

It tragically comical that all it would take is something like 2% of GDP over a couple of years (until 2050) to fix. We rather spend it on the military or pensions.

Since IQ is just a normal distribution on a population it is a bit misleading to talk about it like that. Even if we don't expend any cost on education the number of people with IQ 135 stays the same.

Just look at the trajectories: the whole world is building renewables on an ever increasing scale which will replace fossil fuels bit by bit. By keeping the existing Natural gas plants available the world will have sufficient peak and compe

There absolutly is a lot of work ahead, but the discussion about keeping nuclear needs to be put into perspective. When we got 207 GW of coal why are we talking about those 4 GW of Nuclear at all?

If we end up less reliant on Saudi oil and less at risk of a hellscape future, then I would be fine if RWE / Vattenfall / EON who profiteered in the past get replaced.

Look to France to see what getting too reliant on Nuclear can do. Germany had a healthy mix with some nuclear and it would have made sense to keep them running until renewables power everything (which they will). But: Nuclear can't be

The issue is that booking directly is usually crappy and the hotels rarely care (or are under gag order not to say otherwise).

Loyalty programs are just a scam for you and the hotel to rip off your employer, right? Or are you really getting a cheaper/better deal than using a marketplace such as booking.com

But your numbers are nonsense. People who have only listed Covid as a cause shouldn't even exist because a virus alone doesn't really kill you. It needs to make some part of your body so sick that it breaks down. With Covid we kno

Flu has a lower R0 and thus is not spreading this quickly. The Flu is/was suppressed by the measures more because its lower R0 was pushed down closer to 1 which prevented any exponential expansion that is commonly happening when people

What matters is the intended purpose for which the data was collected. It is a violation to use it for another purpose than the one you collected consent for (or have another reason for collecting).

Given that a pair of Jeans in Europe costs usually 100 EUR or more in retail, I never understood why the manufacturing couldn't cost more than 5 USD somewhere in South East Asia.
