Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

And itβs orders of magnitude less efficient than just using that land for solar panels.
but can I light the solar panels on fire?
do you want to?
IIRC solar panels produce about 100x as much energy for the same area than biodiesel.
I think we all saw the same video from the Christmas lights activist
what video?

oh that yeah of course i saw it :D
but that's not why i said it. I did my own calculations here:
Biodiesel takes much more area because the efficiency is much lower because plants metabolism isn't so efficient, like iirc sth like 0.3% of sunlight energy end up in the fruits of the plants, compared to 20% efficiency for solar panels.
Is it me or does it look genuinely possible when most rooftop space is not being actively used?
i'm personally also against rooftop solar, partially for aesthetic reasons but more importantly for financial reasons:
flat-area solar parks are significantly cheaper than rooftop solar (source 1, source 2), and they also don't require a lot of land area (see comments above).
"utility scale" and "PV frei" means flat-area ground-based solar parks, while "PV klein" and "PV groΓ" mean rooftop solar (small/big). "Stromgestehungskosten" means levelized cost of energy.
Someone best me to it lol
