Yea, I can envision public parking spots around apartments having slow chargers - 8kW something, so the cars can be charged over night for a similar price you have at home. However, that would required government motivation (wisdom) first and upgrade of electricity network which isn't able to sustain such power. Neither is happening, not even plans. Our governments suck. Funny aspect is that Slovenia is a small country (2M population) and could serve as testing ground for such experiments. I won't even mention basic income...

Meanwhile in Slovenia - here, have some subsidy for buying a new one and that's all. Figure out yourself about charging, specially if you live in an apartment.

Hey, no worries. It's interesting how nature changes.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's interesting. You have an url handy for now details? Even if this wasn't the case, fossil generation isn't real feasible for us anyway.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

TIL. But I'm not convinced that this would solve the problem for good. But it certainly helps with growth.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, however the article lists it as a power source (of course it's great for building if possible) hence I'm looking at that aspect only. It's more suitable for heating, however, again, at scale it would be problematic (at that's not even a big one) plus emissions are not healthy. If you ignore emissions and use it for heating of few areas here and there (like it is a trend with pellets), taking into account growth rate, it could be a renewable I suppose.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

That certainly helps, but still, at scale is hardly sustainable.

If you look at it like that, fossil is renewable as well. Just a tiny bit slower, but still, given enough time ... :)

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Sure, that's all nice. However at what scale is that sustainable? Also burning wood yields all sorts of fine particles, not just CO2, which are not good for humans. Plus we are reducing forests at global level. Can you imagine the forest area for providing power to a whole city?

Is biomass renewable, though? I mean it takes a lot of time for a tree to grow. A lot.

US should really rethink Israeli interference into their elections, forget Iran, N. Korea and Russia.

What can I say, I agree with you. This mixing of markup, query and general programming languages is not exactly a good comparison
