Going up from what date exactly? Construction start is when you already have all plans approved, permitted and financed, so 4 years from construction start is far from "putting up a plant in 5 years". So, some examples for 5 years

That's 8-9 years of construction only.

That someone else still has military bases there, the expectation was until recently on a solid ground. I'm actually not sure that someone else disengaging from that region was the plan, but maybe it will be the result after all.

Do you have some examples of that in the last decades?

And what would the US do with that 'tension'? FWIW China is already helping Russia in their war against Ukraine and the West for several years. What did the US do? Nothing at all. Credible sources claim it's very likely Iran

The tricky part of that is the 'find' phase, as Confluence has a comically bad search.

If any half-competent developer tried to write his first search engine it would be better than that of Confluence. It's unbelievable.

Well a big reason for speed limits in cities is safety, that doesn't change with EVs. Another thing you mention is collectivism but cars are a very inefficient private use of public space, both roads and parking, so when such space is

Not at all, they were a hybrid leader long time ago but they never had a good pure EV and are only starting last few years.

On long-term support and parts availability perhaps - I seriously doubt most of Chinese models bought now will have parts readily available in 5+ years. VW (and their other brands) and BMW have good new EVs coming to market now, while Toyot

If you want to sell cars in the EU you have no future without EVs. The fleet emmision fines are quite high already, will be much higher from 2030 and will kick in from 0g CO2/km from 2035, basically killing any ICE passenger vehicle. T

The State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 157 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 80% of all UN members. The only obstacle to the two-state solution is Israel and the US blocking it with powerful

So it's a cost center. Exactly like the public relations tool that WP is. Until due to cuts public loses interest in it, at which point it ceases to be an effective tool and keeps being only a cost center.
