“Per favore, per favore, per favore”: la Danimarca esorta i cittadini a evitare di guidare mentre i prezzi del petrolio aumentano

1. Work from home
2. Compare the cost of this vs having built more renewables infrastructure, imagine how reduced the impact would be if nuclear, renewables, home batteries and vehicle charge points were in a much better position
3. Don´t come crawling back to us when after this something comparable occurs and yet again the cry is “who could have seen this coming”

Told coworkers to consider using public transport. For some of them, it was as if I had said something bordering on insulting.

Look, I am a big city dweller. I can not drive for a month with zero impact.

My wife not so much – she works in a suburb. A plumber in Bumfuckshagen, Denmark… well he may not have a choice.
