The prices were already high before wind and solar power came to be (and for quite many years grid prices where among the lowest in EU, while consumer prices where among the highest). The high consumer prices for electricity in Germany are

Given that several states claim to be Rom's successor, it shouldn't be that hard to find someone to take the responsibility.

They do have domestic ferret mitochondria. The plan is to breed them, take only the male offspring, an cross those back into the original population (and thus get rid of the domestic heritage again).

In the article it says energy for 70k households. Not saying you are wrong but that is substantial.

One is surely sediment erosion. All the small gravel that would usually end up in the delta being collected behind the dam. I.e like here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restoration_of_the_Elwha_River...

That's the problem with such people. They think it is a simple problem that can be solved easily. And pretend that when i.e Scholz and Putin were on the phone last week, they were talking about the weather and potato salad recipes. Bec

The number seems to be based on the fact that he made money of it. And if that was in the 100s of million, the fine should obviously be higher to ward of other people doing so (and not just have it as a cost of doing business). Kind of like

Maybe my view is a different one here (I have donated to Pleistocene Park before), but at least here in Europe most big ecological project seem to follow the megaherbivore theory, and try to implement it in some areas.

Even if that is the case, shouldn't a bigger grid make those events less frequent/extreme? It is not a one-way cable afterall and usually those kind of projects want to make money when prices are high (as they should be in a brown

Funny that they make an article about this. My grandpa bought his steel frame Diamant race bike at age 14, and is now 82. He doesn't use it for longer trips or when using his trailer (he has an ebike for that) but short trips like to t

While I cannot say if it moves immediately, it definitely moves within 2 seconds. It does not appear to move because it is so massive at more than 100 meters.

Because it is a regional problem and some areas work mostly fine. I also fail to fanthom why people drive in rush hour, queuing every day for hours. Yet people do that. And people love to complain, especially those that only take trains on

I do not criticize them for having FOMO. But I have my doubts when it is the 60-year-olds that are the most enthusiastic about something new (as long as it is not a new ABBA album), given the number of grifters out there. And there would ha

The prize winners are ultimately selected by a group of mid-age to old professors. And to tell the truth (I work at a research institute in Stockholm), some of the old folks seem to have huge FOMO. They know that they cannot keep up themsel

Which 'aspect' is supposed to be missing in Germanic language verbs? Because I can say those three example forms (aspect tenses?) in both Swedish and German without any limitation.

I see it the other way around. Yes, I am annoyed by some cyclists (like the lady with a cargo bike carring a full crate of beer trying to get it in the tram). But then, I always imagine that the same person could (and would instead) have be

Why do you not want for everyone to be treated fairly? If I earn more without good reason, why should I be more loyal to some rich owner than to my colleague that I am interacting with on a daily basis. Do people in the US think like this?

In Sweden, you could do löneväxling, effectively transferring some of your salary to an investment account to be taxed when you cash out after retirement. That might make it look like you earn less on your taxes. Note though that while peop

Why would there be no footpaths, where do all the deer, moose, foxes, wolves and lynx go? I am always 'surprised' how many such trails exist in any kind of surrounding. Sure, its often difficult to follow, but that's because

In addition to that, societies and ecosystems could also upend differently if we do not develop this technology. As every technology, you can use it for good and you can use it for bad. But simple banning (or 'moratoria') do rarel

Aren't the wolves in Iowa a bad example since that in fact should reduce risk to the general population? I mean, there are studies that predators reduce traffic collisions with deer due to making those more wary, which far outweighs an

Among other things, the entire olympic area is a no-fly-zone (for obvious reasons) and they have thus commited a crime under french law. In other articles it mentions that the pilot faces 8 months in prison. Noone wants to set precedence of

The model communicates in a language, but our letters are not necessary for such and in fact not part of the english language. You could write english using per word pictographs and it would still be the same english&the same informatio

Interesting thread, with half of the complaints different from my experience. But I also put my bag in the overhead without paying for anything but the most basic ticket, so who knows. Funny dark pattern that I found: When checking in on th
