Japan will put its wind farms in front of the coast. Ans strictly speaking: they have the land, but it would be idiotic to place wind farms there.
Wind and solar do not provide base load. A base load plant is a plant that runs around ~95% capacity all day and night for years.
The Parliament has no power over the European Council and over the Council of the European Union which both represent the member states.
And what is your point?
The German parliament also has no power over the ministers
but they have no right to take the initiative on European legislation: That is also nitpicking, as you pointed out here: "The European Parliament has the right to request the Commission to initiate a legislative procedure and put forward a proposal"
> Everything about nuclear energy is expensive.
Only if the cost of oil wars are presumed to be zero and light water reactors are the only data point.
Solar probably still has the advantage for electrical usage in suitable climates.
Also, the Globalists seem to be destroying the hydrocarbon system across the planet right now. Some day the CoVID depopulation plan failed. A billion might die in Africa from lack of fuel and fertilizer in the coming years.
When I was at Dartmouth we had a very strict Honor Code. Students were required to report cheating too, or face complicity charges.
Cheating like this would lead to expulsion except in rare circumstances. Not saying if Daddy buying a building would qualify.
Those kids are taking up seats of kids who want an education but didn't get in. The filter is thirsty.
At a minimum the cheaters devalue the market demand for an institution's degree. If these kids get a diploma we shouldn't hire from that school.
It's worth noting that Princeton just abolished its Honor Code due to rampant cheating of this type. After 130 years. This isn't the Second Industrial Revolution, it's much worse.
Also, that professor is a legend for pointing out the Emperor's lack of clothing.
> You're there for an education. Cheating on it is only leaving you uneducated.
Unfortunately, no.
Now that High Schools are handing diplomas to "graduates" who in some schools have a sub-ten percent literacy rate, the Bachelor's Degree is the new minimum certification for employment.
With this AI nonsense expect it to be a Master's Degree soon.
This is a huge part of the reason College is so expensive - demand has spiked considerably because of the failed primary education system.
The NEA is a major cause of the student debt crisis. That'll bake your noodle if the old fashioned view of them caring about the kids is a goal (their lead attorney generously told the truth on that a decade ago).
The real solution is to not have any problematic data on your devices.
Some famous Frenchman once said: Give me ten lines, written by the most innocent man, and I'll find something in them to hang him for.
Once the government becomes oppressive, there is no such thing as non-problematic data.
I am not a lawyer, but I do know that corporations routinely destroy evidence. For it to be a crime, they need to have been served with a warrant BEFORE they destroy the evidence.
Corporations never, ever (pinky-swear) destroy evidence. What they do is destroy data before it BECOMES evidence. That's the whole trick. It's what they try to argue here: As soon as they asked, destroying the data they had asked to see became illegal. I sincerely hope this gets thrown out.
Can we please pressure Apple and Google into making duress passwords a standard feature on all OSs?
We need this to become common.
There is no European President,
That is wrong. While it is a token job, presidency changes on a fixed schedule every 6 months.
Least power is with the European Parliament [wikipedia.org] (currently presided by Roberta Metsola) which can only accept European legislation following a proposal by the European Commission.
That is double incorrect.
A) they have the highest power - without their vote: goes nothing.
B) they vote on the proposals of the European Commission
C) they can suggest new laws or regulations to the European Commission and later, see: B)
One of their partners wants a comprehensive biometrics database, perhaps.
Flock, perhaps.
A certain foreign military, perhaps.
They could make this all local in their app with cryptographic attestation but for 'some reason' they want the data on their servers for 30 days.
Ten percent of the population will be highly skeptical.
A high trust society is quite valuable but it trains people to not look out for parasites.
I highly doubt a Chinese mission in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico would go unnoticed!
Of course there's no reason for it, it's just our policy.
