"But Antifa isn't that bright, and is now a threat to people who just want to be left the fuck alone, by everyone." - what? the small minded bigoted white supremacist nazi lovers want to be left alone? If the bigots went away then Antifa would naturally disappear.
"Here is the problem. ANTIFA are Nazis. They look like Nazis and act like Nazis. They just do not know what a Nazi is." - no they are not, they are a reaction to a problem, if the problem didn't exist nor would they. They might look like it if you side with the original problem i.e. the small minded bigots.
I presume China are so not worried by CAGW (climate deniers phrase) that they did not sign up to the Paris accord http://time.com/4810846/china-... - oh wait.. they did and its Trump and his meat heads that didn't. US shot themselves in the foot on that decision. "CAGW is simply another foreign money maker for them and strategically exploits the US." - belongs in the conspiracy theories column
They have turned forwards in tech creation, unlike Trump who wants to go backwards. That turnaround is one of the reasons why they are winning the race, they've got a whole lot of old power generation tech i.e. coal, which is poisoning their people while their production of goods for the world grows (instead of just for china) so they realise they need to replace coal as soon as possible. Necessity is the mother of invention whereas complacency makes you stand still until such a point you are going backwards in real terms
as all lampposts get converted to LED they will also become car charge points and at some point stand alone chargers will appear like parking meters along residential roads.
I read recently that Shell is investing heavily in EV chargers at their gas stations now. Most old Oil companies are becoming "power" companies as they move into renewables.
yes, maybe you haven't noticed that the change over to renewable power generation is happening too. It takes time to change infrastructure but its happening. a lot of the people who can afford the current range of EV probably have Solar power at home too to charge their cars. I can choose where my power comes from at home too, the company i use lets me draw all my power from wind and solar resources.
jeez.. if you don't set a target then nothing will be done. Rise in prices because of a rise in demand? that's contrary the more common adage, the more you make the less they cost.. "The factories will move to developing nations if banned from Europe or wherever." - move where? And stop selling cars into europe, india, china etc? thats a big loss of market if they keep building old tech.
Might be best if you think this through a bit longer and research whats happening out there regarding renewables and EVs
digging up oil, transporting it, refining it, transporting it again at least once, and then burning it is a lot more dirty than batteries. Battery costs are dropping all the time, year on year. here's a link to explain lithium "mining" and the myths on the web about it... https://cleantechnica.com/2016... Perhaps you need to research it before saying "I'm sure mining for lithium is dirty business and manufacturing probably is", guesswork or myth believing is not a substitute for researching
they should remove all the fossil fuel subsidies too and make you pay the true price of gas/oil/coal etc. subsidies are normally given to get a tech off the ground so i can't understand that after a century of improving fossil fuel performance that the fossil fuel industry still gets subsidies.
don't forget you'll need to take account of the subsidies paid to the fossil fuel industry too because the poor are also paying taxes into the pockets of wealthier people when they buy gas and coal and they've been doing that a lot longer than any renewable subsidy.
New tech is always more expensive until a tipping point of quantity sold is reached. There are considerably less moving parts in an EV so when the number of EVs being made is near to the current ICE numbers, it will be cheaper plus battery prices are dropping all the time.
judging by your post, it looks like the problem resides with you and not the Dutch. the articles says "Today, the new Dutch government presented its detailed plan for the coming years and it includes making all new cars emission-free by 2030" - the clue is "all new cars", its not banning existing fossil burners on that date
"The result is outdated and dead applications that are no longer updated, bugs and glitches that are never fixed." get coding and help then instead of crying on the sidelines.
"Have they finally fixed the whole desktop crashing when you turn off a monitor?" - never ever heard of this before - got a bug report number for us to look at?
perhaps look around the world that do have gun laws and compare how many of them have regular mass shootings. No-one on this planet needs access to an automatic rifle of any kind at home, only if you are in the forces so you require this kind of weapon.
Gun ownership is an outdated right because civilised society doesn't have the need for guns everywhere, only at appropriate gun sport venues under lock and key until required for sport......

yep and take that even further, once people run out of water in the hot and dry areas....

a lot of it is coming from solar and wind power and this is increasing year on year

ignorant racist posts on an article about EVs... amazing...

as long as those innocent civilian registered gun owners have them locked up when not in use down the range.
