You are right.

Sure, but why would you built a nuclear power plant, when you are faster in having a clean grid with wind and solar. The workers building the npp could built more wind and solar after all.

Azerbaijan has a train line to Turkey via Georgia. Obviously ethical is a problem, but it is certainly possible in a relatively save fashion, if you have a good passport.

Because solar and wind can be deployed much faster. You rather easily have a decade of extra coal or gas emissions, if you built nuclear today.

The 2007-2009 recession was 4.3% in the US and that did not really hurt the US so badly as to destroy the country. But yes it is supposed to.

That is quite simply a lie. There are plenty of studies, that even just introducing a speed limit on the autobahn would have been enough. There are other nearly free options as well, like allowing municipalities to implement anti car urban planing more easily.

The problem is that the ministry for transport is moving billions from the railways to car infrastructure, while delaying the switch to EVs as much as possible.

The law, which has been weakend by the current government, was made due to the constitutional court ordering the government to strengthen its climate commitments. So this one has a decent chance of working.

Main question is why people still have cookies for what could be a static website.

So they want self driving cars, which do not brake for pedestrians and cyclists? Do I understand this correctly?

The poster was created as a gift for the Norges Naturvernforbund for an anti acid rain camapign. So it was for display in Norway..

The crazy part is that Dieter Rams philosophy was a huge inspiration for the iPhone and other Apple products of that era.

Look fab labs, hacker space, maker spaces or whatever it is named in your area. Those are not exactly everywhere, but common enough to have a look at. Another somewhat related space would be a repair cafe. That would give you not only access to a workshop, but also a bunch of folks for inspiration.

Other then that look up Arduino and RaspberryPi solar projects. It is pretty easy to find some lists. 3d printers are pretty common, as are many other similar tools. Home automation can also be interesting, but that might not be that great of an option, if you rent. Micromobility can also be somewhat interesting(elector skateboards, self assembling a bicycle…). It is also rather easy to set up a solar system in a flat, as long as you can easily install it outside it on a balcony or whatever. There is also a pretty large diy loudpspeaker community, which apparently is pretty easy to built.

Honestly there are lots of projects. Just think of something you would like to have and look up diy version of it. Seriously people built nearly everything at home. There even was a supersonic kit plane sold once, which apparently never managed to go supersonic and had a habit of killing its pilots, but you get my point.

Most emissions are caused by rich people. Quite frankly as soon as you forget about the car, the rest is rather cheap. Solar panels powering a home are not crazily expensive and organic food staples are also not that much more expensive then the conventional competition. Electric cars are expensive, but the proper choice is to try to live car free anyway. A bicycle is cheap after all.

Anybody who actually is emitting more then the global average can live in a way that massivly reduces their emissions and afford to do it. Not to zero, but to a point, where it is absolutly reasitic to demand companies and governments to push for the rest.

So does wind, just not as fast as solar.

Seasonal storage is mostly not needed. Close to the equator it is not due to not really having a season problem. Further to the poles you have stronger winds in winter.

The UK offshored most of its emissions. So as soon as you adjust for that it is about at the level of the EU on a per capita bases. However the EU has much more laws passed to actually reduce emissions in the coming years.

Yeah what a shame that the UK still allows some form of protest and does not just shoot them like the Chinese. /s

Seriously the UK is the fithed largest cumulative emitter and even though that is over litterally centuries even recent emissions are well above the global average. Combine that with a government, which allows even more oil and gas drilling, while even opening up a new coal mine. The UK is doing better then quite a few other countries, but it is not exactly great.

Wissing to be honest. The transport sector is the only one to miss the target badly. Funnily enough 15billion€ is about as much as is currently missing to fix up the German railway network. As in fix it, not expand it.

Please read the article and not just the title. It is only about the EU and European is used like American is used for the US. Technically not true, but often used in more casual speech and by lower quality news sources.

WTF are you talking about? This is about the Effort Sharing Regulation(ESR), which requires EU members to lower emissions compared to 2005 depending on how rich they are(richer countries need to do more). The UK is therefore not part of this at all, as it is no longer an EU member. Neither is Iceland btw.
