The article they are responding to is southern Sweden complaining that these zones are unfair because the south is not blessed with nuclear power 😀 And that it's difficult for them to build wind...because of local opposition. The North built a lot of wind and now has cheap elec. = not fair!

Yes! We live on an island, so the train options are limited. But OMG do we eat a lot of pastries. The ferry we take to Stockholm has great food though

European research institutions are definitely scooping up a lot of U.S. talent right now.

Yep, we're so glad we left! And eggs are cheap 😂

There's an artist-in-residence at my university, Ina Hagen, who made a documentary about the rebranding of Statoil as Equinor. www.uu.se/campus/gotla...

Yeah, I was thinking that too. But some of the busiest airports are Atlanta, Dallas

The very next day, Trump officials announced that they would cut 10% of air traffic at 40 of the country's busiest airports to force *Democrats* to end the shutdown. How does that work exactly?

Right now, governments put a high priority on parking infrastructure in many cities (minimum parking requirements), which has the unintended consequence of preventing new housing, reducing density, and driving up housing costs. That's an example where this technocratic thinking leads you astray

It's more a question of how governments prioritize investments in mobility infrastructure, what's the best use of land, dollars, energy to move people and goods. What's the most accessible and equitable use of resources?

These new nuclear projects are often the first to be built in a country in 30 or 40 years, very different technology, but also no domestic experience, no local workforce, no supply chain. It is like start everything over from scratch
