Our transmission capacity is enough for our own needs (since the danes forced us to close the perfectly working nuclear plant Barsebäck) - but it’s not enough for our needs and Germany’s.

I’m very much pro EU but I do have issues with a huge part of Sweden having 10x the electricity prices of the rest of the country. It hits our manufacturing, farmers etc. I would be in favor of limiting our export to just our surplus. Germany could’ve skipped closing down their own fully working nuclear plants …

(Sweden and Norway are also the ones to thank for Denmark being able to live mostly off wind power since it’s our hydro and nuclear power that they use to balance their network)

I own a rather large property so I’ve had to become “an expert” on our electricity issues.

From the paywalled article:

I stället måste vi tidvis exportera el under dygnets mörka timmar till elbristens Tyskland. Därför blir strömmen 10-20 gånger dyrare i Skåne än i Norrland, Stockholm och Göteborg. Därför är det omöjligt att skapa en prisutjämning inom Sverige.

I live here and don’t need to guess :) We would be perfectly fine if Germany (mainly) wasn’t buying energy from us when prices are high on the continent. Due to how the energy market works we then have to pay those prices as well in the region bordering Germany.

Splitting Germany up into energy regions (like Sweden is split up into four) would help - but Germany doesn’t want to.

If you want to keep guessing instead of appreciating my first hand knowledge that’s fine - it’s just a bit tiresome.

It’s the difference between Germany exporting when prices are low vs importing from us when prices are high. This is a huge problem in Sweden where one of our four electricity regions have almost 10x the price of the others.

… importing all the green energy from southern Sweden causing our electricity prices to skyrocket compared to the other three energy regions in Sweden.

We’re not amused.

We lied when we created their first ones. We’ve taught them to lie when they create ones now.

… and all parents, globally, who already lie about their children’s age due to the US COPA will just keep on lying.

What has Telegram got to do with privacy? Russia banning Signal but not Telegram tells you all you need to know.

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. That success likely had a role in why they continued with Ukraine in 2014.

My takeaway was indeed that the Jedi of old weren’t the good guys, although they still believed they were.

ffs people can’t even read the second sentence in the excerpt.

The rest of the money comes from the frozen assets interest. Ukraine is not getting less.

“this author” being Dr Michael Mann, climate scientist.

Why do you claim Mann is lying?

The whole point of the article (written by Mann) is that the policies already in place keeps us below 3 degrees.

Regarding your “currently happening”, this quote seems fitting:

“I often encounter, especially on social media, individuals who are convinced that the latest extreme weather event is confirmation that the climate crisis is far worse than we thought, and scientists and climate communicators are intentionally “hiding” the scary truth from the public. It is the sort of conspiratorial thinking that we used to find among climate change deniers, but increasingly today we see it with climate doomists.”

Do you consider yourself better educated on climate science than Mann?

What’s with all the climate science deniers here downvoting a statement from an actual climate scientist … !?

You might want to read the article. Doomism isn’t climate science.

“Current policies alone likely keep warming below 3°C (5.4°F), nowhere near the “worst-case” scenarios.”

I have now installed it and I like it.

I haven’t installed it yet, but I’m going to try out Gitness for this: https://docs.gitness.com/

Yeah I was able to install sliding-sync on Dendrite without issues. A bit surprising that I didn’t see any guides made for it yet.
