TESLA TROUGH: Tesla sales in the EU dived again in November: down 58% in France, minus 59% in Sweden, and down 49% in Denmark. Germany recorded just 750 vehicles sold in October. BYD sold more than twice as many cars. The only exception is Norway. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/why-do...
Why Don’t Norwegians Hate Tesla Like the Rest of Europe Does?
November’s Tesla registrations were down in France, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. Norway, however, is bucking the trend—thanks to a tax incentive system that will soon be rolled back.

Reminder:
Green energy doesn't require war with oil-rich countries.
It's also sustainable and doesn't pollute our air.
It is also the future of the planet at large.
If we choose oil, we choose our own extinction.
So war for oil/oil = bad
Green energy = good

Nuclear power is expensive because it's *extremely dangerous*. It takes a vast amount of money, resources, time and effort to reduce the risk it poses to a level that our democracies have judged to be safe.
People seem to be slowly forgetting just how unforgiving and devastating nuclear can be.

Private jet passengers typically pay less than 1% of the cost of their flights in taxes, compared to 26%-54% paid by economy passengers on standard flights
Loopholes mean private jetters often pay little or no APD, nor fuel duty on kerosene.

“Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.”

Sizewell C is responsible for a quarter of the rise in the unit price of electricity from 1 January.
Meanwhile the unit price of gas has *fallen*.
The opposite of what we want!
From 1 Jan ⚡ goes up just over 1p; 0.35p of that is the new nuclear levy. ⚡ will be 27.7p per kWh, up from 26.4p.

Building EPRs is so fraught with the risk of delays and cost overruns that the financial markets won't finance them. They don't judge them to be commercially viable (because they're not). So instead the British government has resolved that you, dear bill payer, will carry the cost and risk.
