The size of the Nordic countries is about 2.88 times that of California, and I'm ignoring Greenland here.

New EV car sales in the Nordic region is doing well. Here are the figures from August 2026:
Norway = 98.7%
Denmark = 85.9%
Finland = 51.6%
Sweden = 45.5%
Iceland also has a percentage.

Denmark's population is just over 6 million.

Many countries like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, all have personal identification number, based on date of birth. It is fairly similar to the American Social Security Number but that does not require citizenship.

There are also countries that lack some form of personal identification number, such as Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In Germany, it is illegal to have a single number that links all systems, which forces them to use different numbers for the same individual.

You honor my joke question with attempted seriousness.
Maybe writing a Shakespearean play with psychologically complex protagonists requires a creative human author who truly understands what what being human means, and not merely probabilities?

Are you implying that LLMs can't create a Shakespearean play?

Trump's Secret Service would have a problem.

Yes. Democratic values like freedom and equality require voters to understand how the world works, and science is the best way to achieve that knowledge.

There is a visitor?

United States has the largest automotive trade deficit for cars while China, Germany and Japan have the highest trade balance.

Don't forget the most important reason, freedom.

This has nothing to do with rationality.
Wind turbines have long been a hate object for Trump.
He has claimed that they cause cancer and that they ruin the environment, etc.

Meanwhile, despite being an intermittent source of energy, wind power in 2026
is used in 138 countries and capacity increased by 40% worldwide last year.

You do know that Musk plans to build a self-sustaining city on Mars, and that low gravity deforms the human body over time?
I would call it realism, not pessimism. If you take Mars seriously, read up on reality.

And no, this has little to do with Musk, just reality.
But Musk is known for his large amount of ridiculous exaggerations. It's almost his signature.
There are many lists of lies and nonsense online, which can be entertaining reading if you don't take any of it seriously.

Denmark gets 53.4% of it's total electricity supply from wind power, and many other countries are doing pretty well.

I've read more science fiction, fantasy, and horror than most, including most Bradbury and Frankenstein, the first science fiction novel. But while fiction can be entertaining, it doesn't necessarily have anything directly to do with reality. Even you don't think people fly on broomsticks after watching or reading Harry Potter.

Sad to say, but humanity is not going to become a "multiplanetary species" anytime soon.

Leaving the narcissistic personality aside, it would be enormously expensive just to get there, and then there is the question of how long it would take. That depends on the distance, which varies over time, but with today's technology it would take about 9 months one way, but that means traveling in a straight line through the sun. With an elliptical journey it would be nearly two years. And then you have to land and live on a planet that has a very thin atmosphere, low gravity and can get really cold, like down to -128 C. Everything you need to survive, water, food and fuel, must be brought with along. And then finally, people have to get back.

You should ask yourself the purpose of all this spending. Maybe research? Probably makes more sense to just use robots.
