It never ceases to amaze me how many Germans are willing to defend their abject failure of an energy policy despite clear evidence to the contrary. That Germany has the fourth highest electricity costs in the world and still emits more CO2 than any major European economy is beyond dispute and not 'misinformation'.

Half a trillion euros could have bought nearly 40GW of clean, constant and reliable nuclear capacity.

We can argue over the number, at this very moment Germany is emitting 415g/kWh compared to France emitting 28g/kWh, but even 320g /kWh places the country as one of the highest polluters in Europe.

A quick search reveals that Germany has the fourth highest domestic electricity costs in the world, and why wouldn't you include taxes as that's what is paying for Energiewende?

A reminder that Germany has spent over half a trillion Euros on Energiewende and still has one of the filthiest grids in Europe (>400g/kWh) and has among the highest electricity costs in the world. Over 50% renewables sounds great if you ignore the significant amount of brown coal and gas that they are still burning and that they have to import heavily during low renewable output.

If these figures are correct it means Britain would be absolutely booming had it not left the EU, far ahead of virtually all other EU countries. I seriously doubt that would have been the case.

New Dacia Sandero launching soon?

Brexit did not cause the spike in immigration, it was Boris Johnson removing restrictions and allowing almost unfettered migration into the country. One of many reasons why the Tories are now irrelevant.

Germany has squandered over half a trillion euros on Energiewende, and to show for it they have the second filthiest grid in Europe, has some of the highest electricity costs in the world and still relies on coal. Half a trillion euros could have bought dozens of gigawatts of clean and reliable nuclear capability.

I live half-way up the UK at about 54 degrees north. My panels produce virtually nothing between late October and mid February.

This year has been unusually good for solar production but it usually peaks when I don't need it. Will probably look into getting a battery, though despite how I keep hearing about how cheap they are now someone needs to tell the installers.

The issue that it's now being poorly done all the time. Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver showed everyone how strong women should be portrayed in the Terminator and Alien franchises, we've seen little like it since.

And they bought more just the other day. The IMF should have insisted that they stop and sell their reserves before receiving any more loans. It's like giving money to a gambling addict.

The vast majority of buses in cities travel the same routes, day after day. A bit more than your made up 2%, don't you think?

Instead of trying to get battery and hydrogen power to work, buses can collect electric current from wires strung above the road. This will make the buses lighter, more efficient, safer and enable them to run all day and night.

I've even come up with a name for them: "Trolleybuses".

I also thought of a more advanced concept where these electric buses run on rails set into the road but I don't want to start a revolution here.

Modern? Quake and its offspring was using prediction and other netcode tricks back in the 90s.

Since all of the Quake games are open-source I wouldn't be surprised if many modern games are still using that code.

You've neglected to mention that the Chinese currency is manipulated . If the Yuan was traded freely, their exports wouldn't be so attractive.
