In Norway, offshore wind farms is the only solution that makes sense in the long run. On land there are few places where wind farms won't create problems for either wildlife or those who live there, and the mountains and valleys create a lot of turbulence. The sea area on the other hand is almost unlimited and has almost constant wind, particularly during the winter months when it's most needed. The main problem is high waves, which regularly reaches 18 meters with peaks of closer to 30 meters during the winter.
The offshore borders are already clearly defined because of all the oil and fish in the area so there is no need to build expensive wind farms just for that.
It doesn't help much as long as the OS is only updated for 2-3 years. LineageOS might be available but the support usually disappears after a short while, leaving you stuck without neither warranty nor updates. I'm careful with my phones and keep the battery between 20 and 80% so it's always the lack of security updates that makes me buy a new phone.
Congratulations, you are the sole owner of a specific number on a specific computer network.
Those Norwegians must be doing something else right. Probably being the second most prosperous country in the world is one of those things.
There are a lot of toll roads in Norway which has so far been free for electric cars.

Quite possibly more with some extra optimization.
So if EVs are not repaired because of a lack of repair subsidies, why are gas cars repaired?
Because the tax break for new EVs but not the parts makes it much cheaper to buy a new car than to buy the individual parts. There is no tax break for gas cars so the parts becomes proportionally cheaper compared to buying a new car.
being taught and being inspired, Alex
Being taught is being shown knowledge. Being inspired is being given av wish to obtain and keep that knowledge.
Mine have worked almost indefinitely. The key is charging the battery in a careful way. I keep them charged between 20 and 80%, and use USB 2 instead of a battery charger in order to charge them slowly. You can use the app Battery Charge Notifier to sound an alarm when it's sufficiently charged. It works well if you turn off the Android features that kill sleeping apps after a while. There are several similar apps, but it's the smallest one with the least invasive permission requirements.
I still have a Samsung S3 Neo with LineageOS 16 (Android 9) which gets weekly updates, but it's too slow for normal usage. Hopefully the LineageOS build for S9 will still be there when Samsung stops updating it. It will be powerful enough for many years to come.
There's something called Occam's Razor. You may want to use it every so often instead of a tinfoil hat.
There is also something called plausible deniability. In the world of spying it's hardly possible to be too paranoid.
Except it's not a flu virus, it's a corona virus. Variants of those have been known to kill more than 30% of the infected.
I am not critising violence against a real tyranny and when there is no other way. I am critising cool violence, exerted by a few rich kids looking for a quick rush by damaging their city and innocent citizens without knowing too well what they are doing, being the last evolution of what doesn't really make much sense since quite a few years ago. And actually I am not even truly criticising it, I am honestly asking to one of these kids, one from inside, already in that battlefield, ideally in any of the two references which I am including in my previous post or similar ones.
This isn't some small rich kids quarrel, there are very real things at stake and protests with up to a million people. It has been going on for 500 years. The last time Catalonia elected a president he was tortured and killed by the fascist Franco regime, which many of the current Spanish politicians descend from.
there's a problem with the catalonian indepence though: to gain indepence, the spanish constitution needs to be changed. I'm pretty sure there are democratic ways to do that in Spain (I'm not spanish), but a referendum in Catalunya is not it.
The oppressor always makes it impossible for the oppressed to gain independence legally, nothing new here. The Catalonians have tried to obtain it for 500 years. The civilized way is to let the minority of Catalonians have a referendum over whether they want independence, not asking the majority of fascists decendants in Madrid if they want to continue ruling over the Catalonians.
I do believe you are correct that the oil industry is a supporter of new sources of hydrogen but hydrogen is not an energy source. Where is this energy coming from? I have my guesses but I'd like to hear where others believe this energy for hydrogen production is coming from.
I believe it's imported from Germany, at least that's where the gas driven ferries get their gas. To the best of my knowledge there is currently no production of liquid hydrogen in Norway.
US has Guantanamo, and a couple of similar smaller camps all around the world (Romania for example). Counting all together, how much do you think we're falling behind that million? (And what if we add the wrongfully imprisoned into private penitentiaries by a broken plea-bargain justice system, are we getting close yet?...)
No, you're not getting anywhere near close. There are currently about 55 people imprisoned in Guantanamo, captured under very different circumstances. The number of wrongfully imprisoned in China is probably also higher, considering they have a 99.9% conviction rate.
