That’s still mostly engineering achievement, what you need is scale (if this approach of building these extra tall turbines works)

I think that advertising is much more harmful than commonly thought of

mate i’m not getting you up to speed with polish politics, sounds like you stopped in PiS-LPR-Samoobrona coalition era, these concerns don’t exist for 20 years

yeah i figured, i don’t know if you have figured that things have changed in the last 20 years or so

closer to 20%, and about as many as opposed EU accesion in the first place. PiS barks a lot but doesn’t want to actually quit because this would eviscerate their support base that does depend on EU funding, like farmers but not only them

what the fuck are you talking about, nobody wants to leave eu, comparing 90s to now it’s like day and night

i come from a bit flatter place and yeah farming used to be something done by about everyone as a side job, but while most of land around village, population 500, was also owned by about everyone, now 3/4 of it is owned by maybe 4 families who are actual, professional farmers who do actual, industrial farming. (this really kicked off when farmers could get loans for new machinery, and with EU money influx) other than another handful of people who work within village, and retirees, everyone else commutes to and works in bigger towns around, and some moved abroad entirely. this is how it looked in 00s, and from there it can go in two directions: when there’s not enough people around, all of these tiny shops in villages close and people eventually move out, or some people open other small businesses where they live and situation stabilizes sort of. but also independent from that, some people who get specialized degrees don’t come back but instead stay in cities where they got it, because there are no jobs they’re qualified for there. there are villages where places like hairdressers or various kinds of workshops open up and people stay and live there and there are villages where there are no births in entire year, because everyone under 30 moved out

they were already on that page, but in additon to being dipshits they’re also spineless. they’re choosing EU money over their religious nonsense most of the time

It’s awesome if you’re a tourist. hardly a local phenomenon, farming and forestry got professionalized, less people can get jobs in these sectors, people move out, there’s not enough traffic to sustain other businesses and you get dying villages filled with stubborn retirees

Sure can. Plenty of local governments receive EU funding, but it will take time

The European Commission blocked €150 million funds for LGBTQ-free zones, and also blocked a 42 billion Euro payment from the COVID-19 recovery fund, due to Poland not obeying EU law.[168] In January 2023, the Polish town of Świdnik abolished their LGBT-free zone in response to fearing that they would stop receiving EU subsidies.[169] In February 2023, the European Commission ended its legal action against the LGBT-free zones.[170] In May 2023, the European Commission said that the LGBT-free zones would stop receiving EU funding if they continue their policies.[171]

it’s one of these places where nobody wants to live including locals. the ones that do also live from tourism (and forestry/farming)

it’s really split between there and some 100km wide belt along eastern border, except the people living in the very southeastern corner, they’re chill

It would be a round 2

Saudis parked fuckload of money in ai startups

This will continue as long as there are CCGTs used as baseload, then it will drop as CCGTs (and biomass + waste burners) will cover the gaps

methane cracker? that’s a very unusual unit that outputs hydrogen and carbon. i could find info about opening of ethane cracker in 2025, but that’s for plastics, next to shutdown of another similar unit

Lithium-iron is about 2x more expensive, there might be different availability and energy use during manufacture is probably higher

Lead-acid batteries work if you don’t care about weight and lithium-iron phosphate if you do

yeah this is only practical option, the analysis isn’t that expensive, but equipment to run it is. but also people who have their own water wells have to submit their own samples
