No need. If they're going that fast, just put a chopper on them and pick them up when they run out of juice. Shouldn't be too long.
Helltaker - I got hooked on the awesome music and fantastic silliness. (It's free btw)
Even then - the purpose is not derived from the end result, meaning that the title is still a shit take.
Me and a few other drivers were parked by an unmanned gas station (late night near airport pickup that charged per minute from entry) - anyway, an early '00s renault hatchback swings into the station, pulling a U-turn before three unmarked police vehicles with sirens on surround it.
Officers step out and walk over, having a chat with the driver for a bit. Then, the driver steps out and the other passengers start to come out, one after another. After a little bit, there are twelve adults have exited this little hatchback along with a bunch of luggage. Driver is arrested shortly after.
Never seen anything like it before or after.
Most estimates (and all recent ones) put that number around 50 mln, the vast majority of whom died from disease, rather similarly to how the black death from asia killed the majority of europe and the middle east two hundred years prior.
Did it enable colonialism? Yes. Was it meticulously planned? No.
Putin telling the truth? Honestly slightly shocking
The usefulness of a shared currency has significantly decreased with the prevalence of digital banking and automatic conversion via bank cards. Meanwhile the 00's & '10s were a nasty lesson in what the liabilities of a shared currency are.
Definitely interesting for countries closer to the equator where seasonal effects on on PV energy production aren't particularly impactful.
By 1990 the electricity mix was already clean. Those 3 TWh are from backup power plants. For context, the electricity production of Sweden in 1990 was 145TWh and 160 last year.
The main transition in the grid was 1970-1990, but that time period isn't on your graph. Ourworldindata unfortunately doesn't have stats for electricity before 1990, but we can instead look at the total energy consumption of the country. Fossil fuels went from representing ~70% of total energy consumption (360TWh) down to a mere 35% (230TWh). This was achieved by the introduction nuclear power (190TWh) and expansion of hydropower (+90TWh) - i.e a mix of Nuclear and Renewables.
Proper snow clearance and de-icing is a vital part of wintertime infrastructure maintenance in colder climates. Icy roads are dangerous to everyone, but perhaps especially pedestrians and cyclists.
On an average year, more people are injured due to slipping on ice (~36000) than in traffic (~18000) in Sweden (where I live).
Obviously it'd be better to have more enviromentally friendly solutions, but this really isn't a car issue. In some areas here they've installed heating under the pavement to de-ice, which avoids salting and is much nicer for pedestrians, though is horribly expensive by comparison.
