Unless it's from the Greens/EFA or The Left there's little hope. And considering that the EPP and S&D still hold the majority of seats in the EP, less so. https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/167712

I guess we shall see how China's HTR enterprise goes. The Germans had a lot of problems with the AVR and the THTR. Probably part or why they ditched nuclear altogether. They also tend to overengineer things and add too much unecessary

They have the right skills for storming the Capitol, unfortunately. And the time to do so.

Not really. China is a big country that's virtually empty above its diagonal. The Nederlands on the other hand is all built up. Imagine opening a nuclear storage facility there in contrast to in some Chinese desert. For China, storage

Both. They are advancing tech from Germany, building pebble bed reactos for instance. In fact they do this with every design. They license, build, operate and then they build their own improved version. India did it as well with the CANDU,

They do have a lot of nice trekking models with upright geometry, full mudguards, rack and lights that can be used as a city bike though. Just not so many models with step through frames, aka "Dutch" bicycles.

Sure. That's only the legal logging operations. Most of the operators also so illegal logging in parallel. They might ship wood pulp or other wood based products instead of logs. Don't even start about ethanol, because they make s

That's why they source their wood in a country with shitty legislation and corrupt politicians. Because they are "working on it". Their wood supplier is operating on a loss, so no taxes paid to the state.

Don't worry. No one is bothering with it outside of the hobbist market because it needs an external SPI flash chip, which one cannot protect by programming fuses. Your code is left unprotected, the Chinese can easily clone your product

That would be great on my bike jersey. Not a stop sign, but a 30 kmh speed limit sign, as all the new cars sold in the EU starting with 6 of July 2024 come with ISA, mandated speed controls. https://road-safety.transport.ec.europ
