Ah, the magical technological advancement that is only possible with hydrogen. While ignoring the advancements with EVs.

At the moment, hydrogen production is too costly, energy wise.

EVs are already way more efficient. You're repeating things that have been discussed ages ago as something new.

According to the French road safety observatory 84% of fatal car accidents in 2022-2023 were caused by men.

How many kms do men drive vs women? And does it differ across the type of road? And what about age?

In Netherlands if there's a couple often the man drives, not the woman. It used to be way more expensive to insure yourself as a man. That until they said it wasn't allowed anymore. Then suddenly insurance rates were dropped quite a bit for men, hardly went up for women.

I'm guessing/wondering if there's a difference on how often a man drives vs a woman. Coupled with testosterone effects for men under 25 or so. In Netherlands men under 25 aren't known to dive safely.

84% is still huge, but seems they aren't looking at the right figure.

For online stuff, they'd have to know location in order to provide a post-tax price

Or they advertise a price and then make a slightly different amount per city and so on. That's how it is done sometimes for stuff sold in multiple European countries for the same price.

Ya know what would reduce carbon even more and pretty much eliminate microplastics: Rail.

Container shipping is more efficient than tail though per km travelled. Just look up the figures.

Rail would be great instead of trucks, but there's quite a few complications to go from truck to rail.

So far in this criminal trial, Trump has been relatively subdued, often genuinely appearing to doze off, but mostly sitting with his eyes closed.

Why not report that he often was sleeping? Why report it like above?

I'm not anymore surprised that the guy is atrocious at management.

Won't the ones going back be super excited to work again? /s

Then explain why this is a global phenomenon?

Because the same causes are happening mostly all over the world. Meaning, buying up houses. Driving up rent, etc.

If housing supply is sufficiently elastic

But it takes ages to build houses. You're again blaming something that's a given just to ignore that housing is a basic need. Obviously if the basic need is manipulated there's loads of money to be made.

It took like 10-15 years to go from anyone can afford a flat to almost nobody can.

It's as if nothing could be done about it. One country blames tourists, others immigrants. In Netherlands the most popular party said for ages that it's useless to plan ahead. Such remarks are ignored. People go for the populist remarks. Blame some group of people.
