Name a country that would if they had it.

I'll wait.

LIke it or not somebody has to be the top dog. I'd much prefer the United States and a vassalized Europe to be that top dog rather than Putin's Russia or Xi's China. Do they make mistakes? Absolutely -- but I'll take American mistakes over Chinese intentional actions any day.

It wasn't proven. The woman was a saint ministering to thousands of the poor and won a nobel prize for it. A smear narrative formed around her because people like yourself need to believe she was not who she was, because if she was actually good your personal narrative about the Catholic Church evaporates.

> "It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C [above pre-industrial levels], and avoid the very worst of climate change. But only with dramatic, immediate climate action."

Great - so now that we know it's here and we can't avoid it, can we just deal with it as it comes then? It's what we were going to do anyway, and all the alarmism isn't helping any.

Mathematically, though, this can't possibly scale to the level needed. If every car on the road had this, something would have to give - especially on congested city streets or expressways.

One thing I could see though - parking spots with integrated wireless charging pads. Park your EV over this thing and let it charge while you go shopping - no cable connection required. Or - in a city like Chicago where they depend on street parking - this could solve a huge problem with EV adoption by installing these in residential areas with street parking. Today, if you park on the street, you need to use a public charger somewhere. If these were installed up and down the street you live on, you could charge overnight.
