It would be simpler to regulate EVs to allow them to charge and discharge based on grid conditions. Why install a massive battery for your house when we'll soon have a giant one on wheels?
The Government is the driver of this situation through massive money printing. Over-regulation turning America into decrepit Europe is not the solution.
No wonder natural immunity is being suppressed. Having broad and long-lasting antibody and T-cell immunity is bad for profits and continuing this state of affairs.
Public transport doesn't work if you have to wear a mask to ride it. People on the margins between wanting to drive or get transport will switch to driving because of the inherent discomfort and dehumanization of being forced to wear a mask.
Remove all COVID-era restrictions from schools, workplaces, and transport, and systems will go back to functioning normally.
Nurses have to wear burdensome levels of PPE, and are forced to get vaccinated (despite many of them already getting COVID during the initial outbreak, and their natural immunity providing broader and longer-lasting protection than vaccines).
Go back to complete normal and this shortage will resolve.
Post-2015 Europe is just not the same. Walkable neighborhoods, open public services, just do not work properly when you introduce millions of dangerous men from culturally incompatible regions.
It should be clear from these border events that migrants are used as geopolitical pawns to weaken Europe. We need to see mass deportation, as well as stricter minimum requirements to gain citizenship (eg. minimum EUR100k in income tax paid, fluency in the language), if Europe can ever hope to recover.
As soon as you add that requirement to coal power plants, they become immediately uneconomic to build or operate. They are already borderline due to the fall in cost of renewables.
With a meagre Carbon Tax of $15/tonne, coal costs double in the US.
There's nothing that can be done to fix coal power apart from just shutting it all down.
It could also be used in home ventilation systems. Its much easier to remove CO2 from the inside air than to rotate out the entire air envelope, for a chemical that makes up a few hundred parts per million.
I've often wondered what the lived experience would have been like in 30s Germany or 10s Russia. Now we know. Its not hard to totally transform society once the reigns of power are seized; and most will just go along with it.
They are basically in charge of printing US dollars and buying their own assets.
And we think crypto is bad...
We should just end the Fed and replace it with a giant algorithm, with crowdsourced and transparent consumer price data. Maybe a few humans to keep the lights on, and to figure out how a 4K TV is better 'value' than a 1080p TV, etc.
