Nice to see a large employer like SAP throwing their weight around. I’m a little surprised that it’ll take until 2030 as in the Netherlands many corps already have a policy in place mandating EV only company cars only, from 2024 onwards. Technically one could take a diesel or petrol car, but in practice this would be cost prohibitive.
Kudos for the BMW i3 in the clip. (owner my self of the coolest BMW ever)
Sadly enough, this will become the new normal. We, as a society, really need to look at the role oil and gas companies are playing and stop talking with them.
They are the problem, not part of any solution.
It’s actually insane how the oil and gas industry has hijacked the climate conferences and is controlling the narrative.
CO2 capture, hydrogen and a whole array of ‘solutions’ which are nothing but a distraction from the core issue; this is a criminal enterprise that’s a full-blown threat to humanity.
Great, more power at unrealistic prices in… 2045.
It’s probably better for the climate and the environment to grill veggies on a gas or coal-fired grill than to grill meat on an electric grill.
The law doesn’t apply anymore. Who’s going to enforce it?
Economy is something else than the stockmarket. In fact, I’d say the two have absolutely nothing in common anymore. The stockmarket is a casino, with Joe Average losing everything once in a while.
I guess we need to find a word to capture the atrocities that are being done to people of a certain belief system in the world.
Or should be just call it ‘g3n0c1d3’?
For decades Republicans wanted to ‘starve the beast’, and they are now close to actually succeeding. It’ll be interesting once the dimmed bulbs in the red stats discover that their life style was basically possible by government policies transferring wealth from the blue coastal states to their backward ass states.
In other news; water is wet and the sun, when shining, provides warmth.
Hydrogen is just bullshit, served by the fossil fuel industry to try and stay relevant.
They’re not.
And the sooner people see this, the better it is. They’re responsible for the utter destruction of our planet.
It’s an unpopular opinion here, but I agree with you. I’ve been running a single disk Synology for a decade or so, replaced the original one about 4 years ago.
The software is pretty sleek and it would fit OPs requirements perfectly. I don’t care for some power hungty Intel based PC sucking kWhs of power each day, just to host some media.
Mine boots up at 19:00 and shuts down at 01:00. It has a built in Torrent client that even my partner can use.

Thank me later.
True they abused the system. That wasn’t my point, which is that these high property taxes have a tendency to give high quality services to affluent neighbourhoods and low cost housing get low quality services.
It’s always funny when looking at the tax-system in the US from an EU perspective. Americans looking at any receipt they get in an EU country and immediately pointing out the huge VAT tariff.
Then one only needs to point to the property tax in the US.
Building way more renewable generation than needed at peak, plus elasticity brought by batteries (hello V2G cars) plus HVDC lines to transport power between regions will be faster and cheaper than deploying the most expensive form of power generation.
Yet, it’s the power companies that don’t want this. As it’s threatening their business model of central generation and metering every kWh going to the consumer.
This is the reason why these discussions keep popping up. Right wing parties are fully aligned with the centralised thinking of traditional power companies.
It reads like the Trump regime…
Vance was placed there with the objective to replace Trump eventually. These guys don’t need Trump any more, but like the industrials underestimated Hitler when they put him into power, Thiel and co are probably underestimating Trump’s shrewdness. He will burn everything down before he’ll be put out of power.
