I’m confused how they don’t already? More than 3500kg gross weight capacity is no longer a class B “car” but a class C/C1 “truck” and require a C1 license

“Pumped storage” is already a thing. Using excess grid electricity to pump water uphill.

Though excavating underground cavern for pumped storage sounds exceedingly expensive:O

Hydro is definitely highly geography dependant, and certainly the environmental impact can be severe. Though there’s also been great advancements in smaller scale “low head” hydro where you don’t need to submerge half a valley or block migratory paths. Hence curiosity where hydro stacks up.

I suppose it’s so geography dependant you can’t make a meaningful global average to compare with other forms.

Then again in my particular neck of the woods solar is limited at best, for half the year. While the local landscape is nothing but mountains, valleys , lakes and rivers. So many lakes and rivers.

Another neat thing about hydro is that it’s a renewable base load. Geothermal is another, but that’s also highly geography dependant

Disappointing DW didn’t include hydropower in the price comparison graphic. Also would have been interesting to see where offshore wind stacks up, though tbh I’m not sure the math is even in yet for offshore wind

My gut reaction too. But their readme/faq makes a lot of sound points. Also Nextcloud is one of the main contributors, so you know it’s serious. Also Proton and Ionos (which I admit I’d never heard of, but they seem big)

There’s strong Farquaad vibes here…

Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make

Huge, but full of rocks and mountains and fjords. “Arrable land” is at a premium. Norwegian farmers look at danish and Dutch fields with much envy

Especially with all the work being put in to Forgejo CI/CD lately

Good catch, that licence does not look very Libre =\

Paywalled, so can’t comment on the whole article.

But the excerpt does not support the headline: Share of EU GDP says nothing about internal or external trade growing or shrinking, only that the relative amount of external to internal trade move to slightly more external
