VVD and GL/PvdA in the same coalition? Would be the death of GL/PvdA and Yesilguz painter them as the new satan. Seems unlikely but I don’t see a very clear path either

I don’t understand why they are so opposed to this. They will need all the energy they can get. I can understand cutting subsidies, but this is absurd

any idea how much this station’s running costs are? Crowdfunding could be an idea

het is weer zo’n half verhaal. 1) die terug leverings kosten gelden niet bij een variabel tarief contract, 2) salderen = subsidiëren van zonnenpanelen want, in de zomer is stroom gratis (teveel) en in de winter duur (te weinig) maar door salderen betalen we de volle mep voor stroom die weinig waard is in de zomer, 3) als je van het gas afgaat, electrisch rijd en een batterij neerlegt, hoeveel stroom heb je dan nog over van die paar panelen?

I disagree here; Feds had an arrest warrant, she knew they had it, and then she helped the suspect out the door. Were the Feds breaking any norms? Possibly poor form and thus told to wait outside. Was Dugan fully aware of what she was doing? Certainly. Accountability cuts both ways.

no but transporting biomethane through current natural gas pipelines may be far away. I honestly havent looked into biomethane but would expect it to be more of a “local” add on to natural gas.

once we scale back livestock production, how much biomethane is still available?

i agree that more interaction usually makes for more fun which is why Settlers still makes the cut. Things like Splendor and Azul are also preferred over Gizmo’s as actions have more impact on the rest of the players.

very sad but not surprising at all. Suffering any kind of hardship doesn’t make you a morally better person. Nor does doing shitty things justify others doing shitty things to you. Unfortunately many people can morally justify this kind of behaviour to themselves.
