ChatGPT cited a paper of mine which I did not know existed, so I asked it for the link to it.
Unfortunately that link to the Nature website just gave a "Page not found".
So sad.

Geen beleid voeren om klimaatdoelen te halen, en de boetes die je dan krijgt betalen met het geld dat bedoeld is om de klimaatdoelen te halen.

There's an old quote supposedly by the founder of Honda: "When Congress passes new emissions standards, we hire 50 more engineers and GM hires 50 more lawyers." Sounds like the Euro automakers do the same bullshit, and sounds like more or less the same result
If you want an explanation of why China is kicking the EU car industry to the curb, look no further than the criminally knuckle dragging EU car makers demanding new loopholes so they don't have to meet any meaningful low emission targets for cars in the EU.

Als de woorden worst en burger al zo verwarrend zijn voor de mensen, waarom maakt de Europese Unie zich dan niet druk over partijen die vrijheid of democratie ten onrechte in hun naam hebben staan?

We just made this graph showing most people in the world could get by on just some solar panels and batteries.
The X axis is basically latitude, but we filled in how many people live between the equator and a certain latitude.
The Y axis shows the amount of solar and batteries needed

The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy.
BUT: Not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.
Electrification+renewables are far more efficient.

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration.

Denk dat velen het alweer vergeten zijn, maar nog niet zo lang geleden buitelden politici over elkaar heen om Extinction Rebellion terroristisch te willen verklaren, waaronder de VVD. De aarzeling om extreemrechtse geweldplegers te benoemen steekt er wel heel schril bij af.

Hungary will replicate a policy announced by US President Trump, and designate Antifa a terrorist organisation, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday.
Antifa, short for "anti-fascist,” is an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militant groups and is not a singular entity.
