To add: If you cancel a contract that was 80% finished then that is not a saving. It means you likely wasted 80%.

It really feels like penny wise, pound foolish. Only focusing on what’s paid out and thought about the benefit.

Though the simplistic approach is likely intentional.

The tariffs are paid by the importers. It’ll negatively affect things in Canada.

I can now get AS splits for less that 400 (500-600 installed)€ in Spain, where AC is common.

In Netherlands there’s a crazy markup on that. You need a local installer. Local installers get huge kickbacks from Dutch sellers. As a result pretty much all installers refuse to install anything bought yourself. Meaning, it costs thousands per AC instead of what it should be.

That’s news to me considering the EPA-rated fuel economy of vehicles with both hybrid and pure ICE drivetrains is universally higher for the hybrid versions.

Because they make certain assumptions. Fortunately the EU mandated that cars measures those things since various years. That caused a review of those hybrids. They’re usually not charged.

Interesting that Putin went to North Korea. Especially as he didn’t go there for 25 years. The meetings they had during this 25 years, NK had to go to Russia.

Anyway, more shells and do on for Russia is not good news. The support for Ukraine really needs to be stepped up.

"As the journalist who spent the most time with him, I have to say, he couldn’t remember things. He couldn’t even remember me.

That’s from the article. It’s not any random person as you somehow want it to be.

Yet you back up your claim with nothingness. Not quite sure how living in a country makes you an expert on regulations. Why didn’t you add substance? The compliance department in the companies I worked for wouldn’t be experts btw.

You don’t know the Ape? It’s really everywhere in Europe.

I haven’t seen those in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany except maybe once in 5 years. Further, it’s seems not comparable. In Netherlands it likely wouldn’t be considered a car. It likely would fall under the max 45 kmh regulations.

Ah, so you can exclude gays. And that means:

Republicans don’t by default have anything against gays.

Because hey, every time they do everything against gays there’s an excuse! There’s been loads and loads of excuses over the years, but hey, they really don’t have anything against gays!

Jeez, done critical thinking would be good.

Would we even notice if they followed through?

January 6th. Though that was massively helped by Trump preventing organizations from preparing beforehand and preventing action during.

Not Gen II reactors, which could be [built and running only 4-5 years after the beginning of the construction

Pretty much every nuclear reactor that’s recently been built has been crazily over budget and significantly late. It seems it is usually a decade later than planned.

Anyway, the beginning of construction is a highly misleading timeframe. There’s a long process before construction even starts. Not unique to nuclear reactors.

I dislike nuclear reactor discussions because of similar arguments. E.g. “new technology” fixes some problem, while ignoring the drawbacks. Or when it is pointed out that the approval process can take ages there’s often the “just force it through”. For years I’ve seen people advocate for SMRs. Which turn out to be to have loads of drawbacks, yet again.

If someone says that it’ll take 15 years then the person didn’t solely mean the actual construction. They mean from wanting it to having it working.

If a city decides on a new area for homes the actual construction of those homes is just a tiny part of the whole process. If you buy such a new home there can be a huge difference to when you signed for it and when construction starts. The contract is about start until end of construction, the mortgage around it is not, at least in Netherlands.

That’s what a bot would say! /s

Google: Norway EVs.

Why would they need to turn anything off? That’s not how they expand capacity in the Netherlands. Why would it be needed?

Ah, the magical technological advancement that is only possible with hydrogen. While ignoring the advancements with EVs.

At the moment, hydrogen production is too costly, energy wise.

EVs are already way more efficient. You’re repeating things that have been discussed ages ago as something new.

It seems crazy expensive compared to what it would cost in the Netherlands. No advertisement, but check prices on e.g. the site Solar Bouwmarkt. There’s still loads of costs aside from the panels themselves, so please add everything up. Still, if you think that was a good price I wonder if you know the costs involved.

You’re really claiming all those murdered citizens are Hamas?

That president seems to suddenly need oil. I guess he got orders from Russia. Hopefully Russia is feeling the effects of the attacks on their ability to produce oil.

they’ll fight it on the grounds that they’re not based in NY

No, they will add that this will be subject to NY law. Plus some other bits. It was discussed here: https://youtu.be/wEOuLQ_x8yY
