If we want to get closer to the "real" number, we would also need to account for mechanic failures of the car, wildlife, and suicide. We don't usually attribute people jumping in front of trains as the fault of the person dri

That is part of the irony, but also the best explanation I got for why the election results are as they are. This is a political situation that the leading parties worked to create in the last few decades, and the dissatisfaction of the sit

The German government is responsible for making itself and its citizens wellbeing dependent on cheap natural gas/oil. It was German politicians that drove the classification of making natural gas "green" in EU, and it was the

Solar and batteries are great for any region where solar production align with electricity consumption and where the battery solves the issue of night time. Wind is great to reduce fossil consumption to around 50% in regions where the condi

Culture can be changed indeed, as can be seen in religion where branches has happened and whole demographics has gone and switched to different religions. The reason for the decrease in smoking is still being researched and debate, but the

Sweden has a similar concept where car and pedestrian traffic share the same space. The rule says that pedestrian has priority. A less-known aspect of this is that bike traffic (and scooters) are also limited to 7km/h. Very few people

A commie-style 5 year plan or even 10 year plan would be kind of great. Electricity is one of those products that we know what we want long term and should be willing to budget for it in a reasonable way. We need to double the production wh

Legislation, permits and offers of loans/state aid can result in new plants if the private actors starts to invest, but there is a large difference between that and actually building new plants. With the election going on, it is also v

Storage could be a solution, but it is not what politicians are right now putting their weight behind (remember, election here is ongoing and will finish in a few weeks. They are very open about their politics). For example, the platform of

If we all agree that we prefer nuclear over fossil fuel, then the solutions is extremely simple. Ban construction of new combustion based energy production in the national grid. Let the economy and market forces compete to find the cheapest

And if the there were 3000, 30000 or 300000 providers the problem would be different. The example I gave was one where I have considered async but went with multiprocessing, which is also why I asked the parent commenter above if they found

Lets make a specific example. You have an APIs to services with data that you want to synchronize to a cache in a local database. The providers allows a maximum of 1-3 connections for each api. You can write this in async with a pool of con

I read the study wrong. A single transatlantic trip produce the same amount of emissions as eating meat for two full years. 1.6 tons for a flight vs 0.8 tons for a eating meat for a whole year.

Technically the lowest of the high impact actions. Combine one Moderate Impact Action with a part of a second Moderate Impact Action and you get more than a plant-based diet, or just do one of the better High Impact Action.

Looking at how Norway basically reached 100% EV for new cars, it is not that complicated to get people to make rational decision. The government subsidized new purchases by 50%, they removed bridge tolls and city taxes for EV users, reduced
