Tobberone

With the way things are going in Norway, i bet EV cars will be blamed for that one as well, when the petrol stations start to disappear...

What are you complaining about? Are you unhappy that Norway takes on many of the issues of going non-reliant of oil, developing systems to handle northern, less benign weather? You know, from where I stand, a few hundred miles south would be a so much easier place to be, where the sun is plentiful all year long and the winters short and mild...

Not surprising. Norway seems to be driving a lot of development away from excess energy use and oil. Not only in transportation, but also in real estate.

I know little of all projects there, but what I do know makes me want to go there and learn how to do better. When (not if) electric uptake nears 100%, like in Norway, things will start to happen in the market. Petrol stations, refineries etc. will see a very different demand, which will propel much needed change!

Everything is negotiable in the EU😁

And that's the point, I believe. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish.

That was my first thought as well. Why doesn't his kids want to live with him?

The Democrats doom and gloom

I know it's a meme, but is that why? Are the challenges too great to comprehend and therefore it's needed to turn to something that's easier to delude oneself one has a handle on?

Well... That just might qualify as a hotel room:)

Jokes aside, this is one of the few applications of "car use" I'm ok with. It's predominantly non-urban, it's not intended for every day use and is for use on off days getting away. If all commuting was done using collective types of transportation and on electricity, RVs would not be much of a concern.

Until everyone started free camping clotting up the forests, that is...

North Sea oil is called Brent and wti is an American oil. Short for West Texas Intermediate.

They are also more desperate. US oil needs the price to stay above 50$/barrel, and the price of WTI, currently at about 72, has been in decline for the last 3 years, trending downwards. These are desperate plees for help from an industry backed into a corner.

In a way, EUs fit-for-55 already lays out a plan for this. By demanding solar panels on all civic buildings in the union, solar production from the Mediterranean countries will provide an electricity boost during these spells.

For the northern countries and eastern countries, the demand for renewable energy sources in the district heating will push prices and incentivies development and other heating sources, like thermal storage, or other storage solutions, like hydrogen. In the short term, even batteries storing nuclear and hydro power from night to day time will make a huge difference.

But in the end: we need more storage!

I'm not sure the typical part is so typical after all. Given the size and complexity of our brains and the difference in DNA between us, I think more or less every family has their own ways of thinking and acting.
