So sehr mich solche Nachrichten freuen und mir ein bisschen Hoffnung geben, werde ich auch immer ein bisschen wütend weil ich daran denke wie weit dieses Land schon sein könnte wenn man mit diesem Tempo schon vor 20 Jahren EE ausgebaut hätte.
I feel like Germany forgot that the goal is not to install renewables energies, the goal is to reduce CO2 emissions
And how do you come to this statement? Do you define what Germanys Goal is? Reducing CO2 Emissions certainly is the main target but it is surely not the only one. Renewable energies solve a lot more problems than just CO2 emissions.
First: Zyklon B was mainly used in Auschwitz, many other camps did use CO or engine exhaust gases.
Nazi death camps used shower heads to introduce a gas into the gas chambers
No, the showers were simply fake. Zyklon B was inserted from above into metal pipes so it would fall down into the gas chamber. You can see an animation here: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/die-gaskammern-in-auschwitz-birkenau-creative-commons-100.html
and likely relatively expensive
It was widely used for killing insects for example on ships, cooling houses, mills or other in other storage facilities. In fact the overwhelming part of Zyklon B going to concentration camps was indeed used to kill fleas or lice and not for killing humans. The price was 4.55 RM in 1943 per kg which is roughly the same in Euros today.
It also meant that the gas chambers had to be aerated for a number of minutes
30 to 40 minutes
Why didn’t they simply use CO2
Zyklon B was again a mass product with the corresponding production capacities already there and not expensive. Also it is estimated that around 4kg of Zyklon B are able to kill 1000 people. It is also fast acting and thereby simply very effective in that sense. Plus it was also simple to transport and store as it came on a carrier material, so pressure gas bottles were not necessary but simple metal containers were used.
Germany literally just shut down their existing nuclear plants and replaced them with fossil fuels.
That's completely false.
responsible for like 1/8 of Germany's electrical production
More like 2-3%
it wasn't a cost decision
Not exclusively, but the high price of nuclear is one of the main points in the decision
the graph at the top shows the growth in Germany's installed wind capacity in Germany leveling off
Because the graph stops in 2022. The growth now is accelerating and even more so for solar power which OP conveniently does not show us
28, Germany. Yes I can and I dont know anybody with a drivers license who cant.
I mean over a billion Euros is technically correct, the actual number however is more like 150 to 200 billion Euros
Its just super unattractive to join. If I am thinking about joining a platform I want to know if there is content that is interesting to me. Now if I go to https://join-lemmy.org/ what do I see? It greets me with explanations of the Licensing, tells me all the programming languages and frameworks, shows me pictures of code and something about mod tools and of course immediately offers me to run my own server. None of that is even remotely interesting to me even now that I am a registered user. Not to mention that the design is questionable. Then it says "Join a server". I am not here to join a server, I am here to join a platform. And if I click on that I am met with about 50 different instances, of which I have no idea what to choose and what implications my choice has.
The whole federation thing, the design, everything is just unintuitive and unattractive to join.
There was no Hakenkreuz on the Reichstag, you are thinking of the Stadium in Nürnberg and it was the Americans who blew it up :)
Maybe I'm crazy, but isnt just learning how to drive an option? Especially automatic is really not that hard.
Both are far-right autocratic governments who gladly take EUs money, while blaming everything on EU (in Polands case especially Germany). Both block tons of important political decisions. Hungary is arguably a dictatorship with no free media outlets and questionable elections, Poland steers in the same direction. The widespread racism, antisemitism and homophobia are also a given.
Definitely Material Design, it just looks so much more modern, clean, lightweight and consistent than GNOME. For me it's one of the big drawbacks of using Linux.
Civey ist in der Tat mehr als fragwürdig, aber nicht gerade unbekannt und schon seit einigen Jahren sehr sehr präsent. Von zum ersten Mal in Erscheinung treten kann nun wirklich überhaupt keine Rede sein.
