I think the amount of energy needed during wintertime would be difficult to cover with pumped storage or traditional batteries. You have to have suitable geography for pumped storage and also enough (fresh) water available for that. However

Strange as I have never heard that you would have to show your ID when buying a prepaid sim card in Finland. And I have also bought them several times and I think that I have sometimes bought them with cash.

I have also noticed that for some reason hot showers and also shoulder and head massage help seem to help a lot, but only about as long as I am in the shower or have the massage. And also putting Vicks VapoRub on scalp seems to help a lot,

I think it had helicopter pad, a harbor for relatively large ships etc. I think Russia had planned to use it as a place to land troops or "green men" during war as spying could happen without helicopter pad etc.

First two sabotages were done by Chinese ships (which may have had russians on the board). This one was registered to Cook Islands.

I don't think it was incompetent attempts to attach something to the lines. It severed 4 data data cables and electricity cable called Estlink 2. If it hadn't been stopped, it would have severed also Estlink 1 within half and hour

If it was assasination, who did it as it happened so soon afterwards? I would assume that it took long time for Iran to find out the Stuxnet.

In Finland defamation doesn't (always) require falsehood either and I think the same is true in Sweden as well. However, you are much more likely to get a conviction if the statement you made is a lie. And there has to be also the inte

7 hours of storage might work in a country like Australia, but not necessarily in some other countries. For example, in Finland winter is several months long and during that time PV will produce almost no electricity. During winter there m

Using electricity for heating is relatively easy. There is no need to use gas for heating and in many countries heating is done mostly without gas.

Perhaps in theory, although transmission losses would be large. But I wouldn't want to be on the mercy of distant countries, perhaps on different continent, for getting energy, especially during winter. And as there are other possibili

Have you solved the problem of intermittent power production by solar and wind energy and included the costs of it to the calculation? It seems to me that the solar and wind energy are causing problem in the energy market with their unrelia

Most of the electricity in Finland is not produced by using fossil fuels. For example during year 2020 14 % of the electricity in Finland was produced by fossil fuels.

At least battery storage seems to be unrealistic solution. The needed amount of energy storage for several months is enormous and in addition to that problem, batteries tend to self-discharge. Geothermal energy and hydro storage are not wit

At least in countries like here in Finland, you get almost no energy from solar panels during winter months. 12 hours of storage to a solar array is not going to work at least here.

I think this based on the assumption that R0 is about 2.3. That means that on average, one infected person infects 2.3 other persons. Then you need to have about 60 percent of population to get immunity against the virus by first being infe
