solar + wind + batteries + gas

solar + wind + batteries are the cheapest option 97% of the year link

the rest will have to be filled in with gas, which is flexible

Finally somebody speaks reasonable economics.

I have been saying the same thing for a year now. If we just accept a trade deficit (which means we import more than we export), the logical consequence will be that the Euro depreciates while the Yuan appreciates. A consequence will be cheaper production within Europe which will balance out the trade eventually.

Open Source software is in many cases better than commercial software. Consider Linux / Windows.

Google telling the EU that the EU needs Google feels a lot like Cops investigating themselves and finding that they did nothing wrong.

The first time that Merz said something that wasn't simply utterly untrue.

too many people conflate "not wanting foreigners to come to our country" with "not liking foreigners".

don't get me wrong, i have no problem with foreigners. I'm not a racist. But i don't like them coming to our country.

I understand that we have to accept them, because (a) they need help and (b) we're the reason they need help (the western world caused the wars in the middle east).

Still I think it's wrong to uproot the lives of many people (moving them from one country to another). Especially I think it's disgusting how european politicians are discussing refugees as a way to "support our economy", as if they were a mere tool of production. We have to put people first and economy second again.
