The new Reactors in France surely produce a Lot of Cheap Energy. Sure the construction alone was only 6x more expensive than planned, but I’m sure it’s still a bargain at 20 Billion Euros
In the UK Hinkley Point C is also a great success with cost overruns amounting to now over 35 Billion Pounds
Every Village thinks it’s a wonderful Holiday destination, burying the lines IS costly and inefficient and we pay all for it with interest through the Network Fees.
We have Transmission lines Here too, and it’s still a very liveable Environment.
Yes it’s NIMBYism
Yes the French Electric System would have collapsed without German Exports Last year (the French Heat with Electricity). It does matter
You mean net exporting Energy to France because their shitty Nuclear Plants didn’t Work Last Winter because of Maintenance and Last Summer because it was too hot for them?
However, regional price disparities persist due to weak transmission links between Sweden’s north – home to its vast hydropower resources – and the more industrialised south.
Blaming Germany for their own inaptitude, as you would expect from far right Morons
(To be fair we have the Same Problem in Germany with NIMBYs and Powerlines)
Putins Army isn’t exactly in Great Shape right now, and opening multiple fronts was in the past Always a Recipe for great success

Putler strikes again
Wrong. Annas Archive doesn’t Accept Uploads directly themselves (at least <10.000), and they recommend STC too.
To upload academic papers, please also (in addition to Library Genesis) upload to STC Nexus. They are the best shadow library for new papers.
Somehow the night Train is still completely booked out every time I Take it, weeks in advance, despite “top Dollar” prices.
And Hotel rooms usually also don’t get cheaper If you travel alone and Not as a Couple
Oh yes, 50€ is so expensive, horrible
/s
I’ve Had my own toilet and shower in the new Nightjet, and I’ve only Had another Person in my Cabin. And with the Mini Cabins in the new Nightjets it’s possible to have your own private space for cheap If you are travelling solo
Taking the TGV from Strasbourg to Montpellier still gets you a Lot of painful slow legs inbetween. And they aren’t very comfortable for long journeys.
Also the French Global Price system with Random timetables and mandatory Reservations Sucks badly
That’s because it’s convenient to get there by public transport
That was my Point, people who drive right now don’t use Public Transport because it isn’t convenient for them.
Instead of burning funds to make it free for People who are perfectly capable of paying 300€/Month for their Car, you should use it to expand the Networks (New Train/Tram/Bus Routes) and augment their quality (Longer Operating hours/ Higher Service Frequency) and let them participate a Bit in the Costs, so you can improve the Network even further. (If they we’re able to pay 300€/Month for their Car, they can certainly pay 50-100€ for a monthly subscription too)
That does not mean it didn’t reduce them.
Yes that’s explicitly what they meant. Most new passengers were people who were Walking or cycling before, but not a Lot of people who were driving before
Then you say the tram in Montpellier isn’t good, like what on earth does that have to do with anything?
That you should Invest the funds used for free Public Transport in improving the Network and it’s quality.
Don’t get me wrong, you should still offer cheap/free Tickets to People who need them, but nothing wrong to collect additional funds to finance the system
You mean Like in Tallin, Estonia?

Or with the 9€ Ticket in Germany?
The Countries with a high Share of Public Transport in the Modal Split like Switzerland have one Thing in Common, an extremely dense, Frequent and reliable public Transport System. The price isn’t Just that important,
Just because someone has a different opinion than you, doesn’t make it “Propagandist”.
(I travel exclusively by Public Transport and I would love to have the Same quality as in Switzerland, but here everyone wants stupid cOmPeTiTiOn and lOw pRiCe Bro, and the quality in Germany is horrible. Montpellier is also not great, I’ve visited many Times for Holidays, and during the day it’s okay, but the Tram Service terminates way to early in the evening. The prices were also already very cheap before it went “free”)
Gas Stations pay for themselves. Otherwise its also tax based.
Still completely free public transport is not a good idea instead of investing in a high quality offering. (Higher Frequencies, Better Vehicles, more dense network). Because People usually take the car because it is more convenient, its always more expensive than public transport.
And in the past, free offerings have just diminished people walking or taking the bicycle, but no shift Car>Public Transit
East Germany doing East Germany things.
I mean they also don’t believe the normal media anymore. They will just parrot what Putins Propaganda spoonfeeds them in their Telegram Groups and “Alternative Media”
There has also been hostility towards journalists over the past few days, especially after some 2,000 people joined a protest by the far right in Magdeburg on Saturday night. The Association of German Journalists said there had been aggression and threats against the press and appealed for greater police protection.
Those people and areas are a lost cause.
Same
But there are a Lot of people Out there WHO pay 15$ for YouTube Premium, If you can get way better content for that Money elsewhere
Unless they monetize the wanted Features Like Ad-Blocking. 10$/Month for No Ads everywhere is a Deal that many people would probably Take. Sponsorblock, DeArrow, Video Background Player Fix, there are many QoL Improvements that a Browser Company might include to sell a Browser Subscription or likewise
And where is the reaction?
Unless Russia Finds Out after fucking around this Shit will Happen again and again, and after every unpunished move they will get bolder and Bolder
