It’s never been about reading the post/ articles. Mmm?!

That doesn’t seem very much at all.

This article is also 3 three years old; Germany allocated € 5 bn and UK 3 bn for EVs.

If I see this correct, it was a 44-56 % split three years ago.

I couldn’t find any proper comprehensive and comparable studies for subsidies and investments in ICE and EV.

Also there is a difference between subsidies like incentives, tax cuts, and investments

Thx! And, to clarify the situation I copied this comment from @Sarah link.

It’s not a “plug type door”. It’s a plugged door. They’re different things. This isn’t a door at all. It doesn’t open.

Indeed it’s NOT part of the fuselage (plane frame), it was built as an empty socket for the placement of an eventual (extra) emergency door, depanding the seat configuration. In this plane they did a faulty install of a " plug-in "instead.

exit door plug, which are installed as “blanking plates”.

Do you have some more info? I can’t find any new detailed info and I’m no airplane mechanic.Afaik, blanking plates are usually cosmetic, and the problem occured due to cabin pressure loss. Also, the plane was supposedly certified, recently.

over the past 60 years the West

I reckon the writer is saying this about the West because that’s the only data he had access to. And, that this techno-pessimism should be a worldwide phenomena.

On the other hand, I wonder whether other cultures, apart from the West, have adopted a similar risk averse mindset. I mean, “the Haves” (and not the Have- Nots) are the only ones prone to be afraid to loose their accumulated wealth & lifestyle. But probably other affluent groups in the Non- Western world, might have adopted similar tendencies.

Or, they might have not. And this risk averse mindset, is exclusively a Western post-industrial cultural element. It would be very interesting to find out what the cultural & regional differences actually are world-wide.

For sure . Imo the “official human history” is a myth. The good thing is that it’s being debunked by new findings.

Just a moment, no need to exaggerate:

“The third layer was built prior to Cal.BP. 9,500, and could be as old as Cal.BP.13,000 to 28,000 years.”

For those interested: since there’s been a huge gas exctraction scandal in Groningen, (gas) mining has become a sensitive political subject in the Netherlands.

Also the Zuidwal volcano they are talking about is 2 km deep.

Geothermal energy is an interesting additional “green” option, if the mining risk can be minimised.
