As a country you also can enforce restrictions/taxes onto the whole supply chain, as a initial measure (can't be done by weak countries though).

Of course, mid term everyone should push for global carbon pricing models

Germany was the only country that seems to have understood this, given they were the only ones that advocated for it at COP.

The solution here is a payout of (most of) the taxes equally for every citizen and also use some of it for special groups (exceptions) that can't deal with even that (realistically). This is called a dividend: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fee_and_dividend

Is hydrogen good enough for long term storage of massive energy? (Winter summer cycle)? I heard concerns about density, and also not being able to use conventional gas storage (e.g. German gas network with a capacity sufficient for 3 months energy supply for the whole country) with high hydrogen ratios.

Interestingly Windows 8 and windows phones in general had the url bar at the bottom

Having progress (and thus the possibility of falling behind) doesn't say anything about the speed of progress.

> and it will always be a one-vendor vehicle.

You are clearly not speaking of Matrix: e.g. Element, Beeper, Dataport

How no progress ends up, can be observed with email and xmpp

> Proper federated networks are ones that are already past this initial phase of fast progress

That's made up by you. I claim proper federated networks are ones where you can fall behind

Define proper :D

What I value with Matrix is progress

> between server instances provided by a single dominant vendor

No, any server instances provided by any vendor

> by a single dominant vendor, whose idea of federation is for everyone to update to the latest version of the spec or fall behind [1].

Server instance provider is not the same as software provider. Of course, you fall behind if you don't update. Time progresses, so does software.

Matrix is working in a real federated environment between hundreds of servers

In Matrix you "can't" select between multiple extensions. The protocol defines one way of doing things, so either you have that feature or you don't have it. There is no choice between two ways of doing things.

Yes I know, since Matrix there is now an extension that defines a selection of extensions to try to overcome this

Can't confirm, using xmpp and Telegram bridge here

Yep, this. Once, I wanted to try Rust (while been heavily invested in C++ and a bit in C), and after just a bit digging into it, I discovered how present macros are in Rust (e.g. printing). This really turned me off such that I aborted learning Rust.

(Gladly I took a deeper look later :) )

Thanks, this is what I need (de+es)

In Germany the government went out of the way when it came to digital technology Look where we ended up

Depressing Frustrating

I don't know what to say

Is this even possible with languages like Rust and C?

There is no end of life, but only recycling

Storage: gas, batteries of EVs

Energy: put solar on every roof, and some land, use 2% land for wind, use wasted energy better, reduce power consumption, ...

There are multiple studies that show a path to renewables for Germany using just renewables.

And it can happen before any nuclear reactor can be used...

Nuclear has a huge waste issue, persisting between hundreds and a million years.

Storage isn't that expensive, E.g. through gas. E.g. Germany maintenances Gas storage (currently filled with non renewable gas) that can power the entire country a Quarter of a year. Without the actual need through renewables.

Nuclear with waste management would have to be cheaper than that.

(Aside from the subjective evaluation of the associated risk of nuclear energy)

Actually, there is renewable wnergy

Wind, solar, rivers joining with salt water, river streams, tides, gas (from waste), geo thermals ...

I follow along regarding CO2, because it has the most massive cost.

However, I am not convinced that the blades are near the problems regarding nuclear waste

The question is how long do you have to deal with that waste and how much it costs for that entire duration.

You need to compare with renewables. Fossil fuel isn't an option either way

So, coal isn't the only option besides nuclear power...

And they produce no waste?

How can you call it clean when there is a unresolved waste problem?

> Unfortunately the sun doesn't shine everywhere all the time (especially in higher latitudes during their winter), and wind power is not perfect everywhere either, so nuclear will be a necessary evil as part of the mix alongside other low carbon options.

No, it wont be necessary, because there are solutions to storage as well.

Exactly the same

As said those are estimates. In any case you see the current carbon tax is not anywhere near the cost. It's worth to mention those cost depend on past, present and future emissions as well.

Where did I say that only a small part should be paying the real cost? That's a straw man.

And no: miners are externalizing exactly because the lack of a carbon tax. And from my experience they are not very interested in introducing one either.

Thorium reactors are a castle in the air
