If you're happy with the status quo, you never left reddit.

I was finally happy...too happy...

Peak car brain. Dude can't even imagine how society worked before cars claimed the streets.

None of what they say matters. It's all subterfuge and misdirection.

We'll see. It's a good approach, better than putin's (or trump's)

But why should the user feel the strike, what is the use in that? The strike is against the employer, not the user. It happens to hinder the user as a side effect, but ideally you'd have fare strikes that only hurt the company and not the users.

PS: ok, if it is to show users how useful you are to them (but that is just an indirect way to pressure employers), besides, that could just be used as an excuse for the employer to raise the fares in order to pay workers (and management) more.

Yes, but I imagine that with mass production the panel will be more expensive than the corresponding 1-full-day storage batteries, it's just a matter of producing them in parallel (or even better, as a single unit), rather than panels first and storage later. This is why you have the mismatch. Which is what makes this decay in sustainable energy investment so puzzling.

Sodium batteries, man!

There are ways to strike which are better than others. In some countries they simply don't collect fares, so the user is not hindered, but the cost of a strike is still felt by the employer. Maybe this doesn't work for air travel, but it works for other services.

Because Europe is not self-sufficient, so it is a constant liability and vulnerability to the geopolitical whims of e.g. oil/gas prices.

Ok, even if China leads in all technologies in 20 years as you said. How does that automatically lead Taiwan to want to abandon self-rule? They're really advanced technologically too. Or to give a counterexample: Cuba still refuses to adopt a different political system despite the sharp technological contrast with the US (or NKorea with SKorea)

Usually, ice floats on water: the density is lower than water (0.916 g/cm³, the crystalline structure of ice makes each molecule take up more volume), so the volume of some mass of ice is larger than its original water mass would have, so a fraction sticks out of the surface.

But this amorphous type of ice would not stick out of the water.
