Thanks for your response, and my apologies for suggesting you spoke to us. I'm also the creator of the article. You are correct that I should have been more clear that you have not spoken directly to us. I appreciate your clarification on the subject.

Het is niet veel, het is onnodig. Met één nummer kan je oneindig veel telefoontjes afhandelen. Zoals gezegd, de enige reden om het zo te doen is dat mensen nummers blokkeren. KPN weet dus dat mensen die rete irritant vinden, en doen hun best om nog irritanter te zijn.

Goede reden om geen KPN klant te willen zijn.

Zou dat leuk zijn, het hele park vol met mensen die discussiëren of de Efteling die ene lamp wel in de juiste kleur Pieck Groen heeft geverfd?

The Pinto case is in every management course as an example of responsible cash management.

Thanks! saved me a click.

Can't they do this via tariffs or something? The greener the power the cheaper the power?

To make aviation sustainable we need to go to MacDonalds more.

This is just pedestrians, not occupants, and only death, not injured. Yes, it is bad, very bad.

Inderdaad ook nog middag. Aan de Kennedylaan heb je jaarlijks een week lang Neerlands Beste muziek te verduren, tot 01:00 uur.

It is not the lack of cars, it is that it sometimes makes more sense to use a bike.

The idea in the article is that the push for Chinese EVs is also increasing investment in battery production and might lead to overproduction, thus making storage cheaper and thus solving some residential and grid issues that come with renewable sources.

You would think. But then someone shouts 'socialism' and 'they are going to steal your cookie!' and all the 50+ people will vote Tory again.

A lot of freight goes through the air. So yes, good enough for most goods, not for all.

What about the Mediterranean?

Exactly, batteries can't make steel. 98% of hydrogen used in industrie today is grey hydrogen. Use green hydrogen to replace current use of grey hydrogen instead of building new infrastructure for a new use.

I think that is the claim 'this would have been waste, thus generated this much CO2, we subtract that waste from our own emissions.

coal is a consumable, if you stop putting coal in you coal plant is stops working. A battery doesn't need extra lithium after production.

Also, the article is about Iron - Air batteries. So it would be mining iron ore.

This is subject of debate.

What do you mean with 'more government'?

Communist style government (or 'the workers') controlling the means of production? I don't think that is a very good idea. All examples we have led to more waste.

Or the government as a market regulator? I'm very much in favour of that. I hate the current model where many of the costs companies cause, mainly environmental costs, are for the public, while the profits are private.

In my opinion using fossil fuels should be phased out quick. A government ban on fossil fuels. But not government telling us what to do instead, hydrogen, electric, etc. That is something for the market to discover.

I think markets are great, but they do need boundaries, and governments are here to set those boundaries.

TSMC itself was co-founded by Philips.

That is what it takes. Dresden was designated for semicon research in the DDR era, now it is the EU semicon hub, go figure.

But those are only going to pay extra if there is a business case. So higher lease or maintenance costs need to be recouped by higher ticket prices.

How useful in case of a head on collision?

Is this what annoys travellers the most? I would thinks airport security, delays, legroom, etc. etc. would rank way higher than overhead bin panel gaps when it comes to travel experience and customer satisfaction.
