The European commision sure wanted TTIP to happen, so there's that.

because they sell cars to China
For how much longer? Can German cars even still compete with the Chinese, or has that ship sailed already? Come, buy the best engineering of yesteryear! Yay!
China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general), plus they have cheaper environmental and labour standards… it’s not like there’s a fair market EU companies can compete in without some sort of handicap.
Hah. Volkswagen is in trouble right now because they fucked up the transition to electric cars completly. What do you think will happen now? That's right, we the (German) people will have to save them now, with our money. Basically the same shit as a subsidy, just later in the process. Kinda like what the Chinese do, just the really stupid way.
Oh, and of course, it will be everybody's fault but their own.
It probably doesn't matter. This type of battery is not all that interesting for things like electric cars, rather more so for things like grid energy storage on a massive scale. Think 1000s of these in a large building, getting charged during the day with excess solar energy, releasing it into the grid at night. Stuff like this is what has been missing to make even better use of renewables.
Too easy.
- "Tubthumping" by "Chumbawumba". It is easly the most annoying and obnoxious song, and the lyrics are so stupid.
IF the wizard feels particularly generous, I have more:
- "Hey Soul Sister" by "Train"
- "All Summer Long" by "Kid Rock"
- "Dragostea Din Tei" by "O-Zone" (the maya hee maya ho song)
There are so many more, but just thinking of them makes me angry, so I'll stop.
Just a few million terawatt hours more and we're as good as there!

They have played us for absolute fools.
Nighr City is just so good!
There is this restaurant on a volcano on Lanzarote, in the "Parque Nacional de Timanfaya", where they cook with the heat from the magma below. I am sure you could cook a pizza with that, as well.
There are different kinds of wasps. Where I live, out of the many many kinds, only two are annoying in that they are aggressive and try to get your food. All others are chill and will leave you alone if you leave them alone. We had a nest outside our house one year. Often times, our paths would cross. A wasp would collide with us, just sit there in the air for a second, then fly around us. No time to chat, gotta get food for the hive. Also: bees and bumblebees will just take the day off if the weather is shitty. Wasps? MUST GET MORE FOOD. Hailstorm? Tornado? Lightning strikes five yards away? No excuse.
"Will it blend?" - in today's episode, Larry Ellison, massive waste of skin and resources.

A transition that, judging from these here two pictures, could not be more extreme. You are almost unrecognizable! And to think you had all this beauty inside of you all along, just waiting to be freed. Congratulations and enjoy!
