The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Using hydrogen for low/medium temperature industrial process heat is by far the most expensive option available.
Our recent analysis shows that heat pumps coupled with electro-thermal storage is the most cost-effective technology.

There is also the potential for communications equipment interference so flying is not recommended (but flying is also generally not recommended as a planetary destructive transportation method until flying is fully electrified).

The CME is expected to impact Earth early to midday UTC on Tue 09 December, with G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storming and auroras.

If someone tells you the CO2 is coming out of the sea, they try to fool you. We know exactly where it comes from and where it goes. We emit CO2, about half of that stays in the atmosphere, and a quarter each is taken up by oceans and forests.
