Energiaviraston ehdottama tehomaksun kynnysraja ärsyttää. Määräys yhtenäistää tehomaksun määräytymisperusteet samaksi koko maassa.

Välillä positiivisiakin signaaleja. Fossiiliset polttoaineet ovat joka tapauksessa välivaihe ihmiskunnan historiassa, koska niitä ei riitä loputtomiin ja ne ovat perimmiltään vain säilöttyä aurinkoenergiaa, jota voimme käyttää nykyään suoremminkin tehokkaasti. yle.fi/a/74-20195013

In Finland we have an expression "parodiahorisontti", which means the point ("horizon") after which something becomes so absurd that it has become a parody of itself. Often associated with a buraucrat who takes things very literally and pushes them too far and loses all common sense. This qualifies.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

Sustained wind speed of 185 mph is so high that it would warrant calling this a category 6 hurricane. Such powerful storms are coming more commonplace. In some areas buildings are now designed to withstand category 5 hurricanes -- so sooner or later the Saffir–Simpson scale needs to be extended.
