Oh, so I guess the 15kWp on my roof that generated 14 MWh last year was just a dream then.

What went wrong in your life?

You’re absolutely right! In Germany this type of behavior is even propagated by conservative parties. They’re blaming the green party for acting on ideology. This is “emotion” paraphrased. It doesn’t come as a surprise to me that simpletons adopt this narrative. Right wing propaganda essentially works by triggering emotions.

Mate, you ever stop to think that maybe you are the one falling for right wing propaganda? No one here is saying that it’s time for full EV. That’d never work. No one is being forced either. It’s a transition. ICEs will be here for decades to come. It’d be nice to have less of them however. Plus EVs can be a puzzle piece in solving energy storage, so full renewables becomes feasible.

You’re blatantly ignoring scientific data and logic and are just parroting boulevard magazine level bullshit. Seek help, you’re definitely on the side of ignorant people who are afraid of change.

What does that have to do with your initial comment? And have you ever heard of photovoltaics? The fuck does that have to do with emotion?

I myself still drive an ICE, because I don’t want to afford an EV yet (they’re extremely expensive in Germany). An EV would be ideal for me however. I produce a shitload of energy with the PV on my roof. In the last 30 years I’ve lived here, we had exactly one power outage that was fixed within an hour. We brutally overproduce wind and solar power, EVs can actually help store that surplus energy (think vehicle to grid).

Maybe you should inform yourself before you make a fool of yourself.

Unless that was sarcasm again, because that was just such a dumb comment. Jesus.

I’m gonna go ahead and believe this post is sarcasm, ok? Because this is exactly the kind of bullshit these morons would argue with.

Haha, I believe Felon’s was the only brewery I visited that wasn’t part of my job. It’s a small brewery and they only sell their beer on tap at that location. And they’re doing really well. The view from their deck is phenomenal and the atmosphere is really good.

But Brisbane at least has the Felon’s Brewery right under that bridge. Really nice location that.

I’m sorry, I was referring to Germans that head down to Mallorca for a weekend to get shitfaced. It doesn’t make sense that a train ride from Hamburg to Munich costs 5 times as much as a flight from Hamburg to Mallorca.

Inner European flights are also important, until we have a dedicated highspeed train network that connects all of Europe’s larger cities with each other.

I’m absolutely for eliminating domestic flights within European countries. Let’s get some good trains going instead. But traveling the skies is one of humanities greatest achievements and lets us explore other cultures in a way we otherwise never could. Let’s not get rid of those. I don’t want to be trapped here. Ban 30€ flights from Germany to Mallorca? Absolutely! Ban flights from Germany to APAC, Africa or the Americas? Please don’t.

Our 3 cats kill maybe a total of 5 birds and 10 mice a year. They can’t reproduce and prefer to stay inside for most of the year. They’re not a problem, as many new studies have found out. At least in northern Germany. It might be a bigger problem elsewhere though. Just trying to point out that your criticism may only apply to certain areas.
