@lobliquo@AngeliPaolo@ultimoranet Cavolate. Se uno spunta dal nulla e si butta in strada senza neanche alzare lo sguardo, l'auto che è lì a qualche metro dalle strisce non ha lo spazio necessario per frenare, anche se rispetta i limiti. Altrimenti parliamo di prevedere il futuro.
France already made this the law. Any car park with 80 or more spaces has to cover half of it in solar panels, or pay a fine of 50 euros per space every month. The government said it could add as much power as ten nuclear reactors.
The hard part is building it. Carrefour, a French supermarket chain, is putting solar roofs over 180,000 of its parking spaces, enough to power the stores below. Disneyland Paris covered its main lot, which fits 11,200 cars. One car factory parks its staff under 64,000 panels that run about a third of the plant.
The reason people want this is land. If the US copied France, its parking lots could hold up to 800 gigawatts of solar. The whole US grid runs on about 1,144. A Yale study found that car parks in Connecticut could power more than a third of the state on their own.
Then comes the cost. Putting panels in a field is cheap, because they sit on simple metal racks near the ground. Putting them over a car park means a custom steel roof, strong enough to stand over moving cars and hold up in high wind, built without closing the lot. At that scale, a car park roof costs about $3.20 a watt. The same panels in a field cost closer to $1.90.
That price gap is why the rules keep getting weaker. France softened its own law in 2025, letting owners plant shade trees instead, though the biggest lots are still due by 2026 and the rest by 2028. The UK studied the idea for a year, then dropped it in May 2026, once it found that fitting an 80-space car park would cost around £140,000 and save about £28,000 a year.
The picture is right about one thing. Car parks really are the smarter place for solar: no farmland used up, shade for your car, and power made right where it is needed. The catch is that the smarter spot to build is also the more expensive one, which is why fields keep getting chosen.
This from @Telegraph@NickSquires1 is one of most racist, derogatory and stupid headline I have ever seen.
So do not enjoy Sicily at all anywhere because in towns there was mafia.
As if talking of London you’d write:
“The historical nest of enslavement and colonialism”
Finanziati come?
Il problema, tanto a destra quanto a sinistra, è continuare a pensare di aumentare i salari netti o con misure palliative.
Non crescono i salari lordi. Servono proposte affinché le aziende paghino di più e investano, non questi sussidi mascherati.
Increíble que ahora todo hace daño, que el aceite, que la leche, que bañarse todos los días, que dormir del lado derecho, todo es malo excepto trabajar 8 horas al día, 5 días a la semana. Eso sigue siendo buenísimo.
Americani a Roma: perché non li vogliamo
Da Obama a Trump a Rubio vengono qui per trattarci come zerbini. L'attacco alla Libia di Obama con francesi e inglesi nel 2011 ha precipitato il nostro maggiore alleato nel Mediterraneo nell'inferno della guerra civile, con migliaia di profughi sulle nostre coste, privandoci di gas e petrolio, regalando la Libia alla Turchia, alla Russia e agli Emirati. Rubio è venuto dalla Meloni senza garantire nulla sulla Libia. Noi abbiamo commesso molti errori ma gli Usa e i nostri alleati non hanno fatto nulla per aiutarci, anzi. Perché mai avremmo dovuto aiutare Trump a Hormuz? Sovranisti e non sovranisti, generali di cartone compresi, non sanno comunque difendere gli interessi del Paese. Chiacchiere e basta
As an American who lives in Italy now, I feel I can speak on this topic. Is the food quality different in Italy versus the US? Yes, wildly different.
I’ve noticed it in pretty much everything. The fruit and vegetables taste stronger and sweeter. Yes, zucchini, broccoli, potatoes and cauliflower have a sweetness that I never knew about. Meat tastes “meatier,” and carbs never ever bog me down. In the U.S. I’d eat a serving of pasta, or bread and feel like I was bloated or needed a nap. Here, I eat pasta, or pizza or bread and I feel nothing out of the ordinary. The eggs have a totally different consistency. They’re very “creamy.” Even the American Cheese here is so wildly different. It’s so creamy that it sticks to the wrapper, it’s a mess trying to get it out. Clearly, they don’t use the stabilizers we do in the U.S. Another difference is the salt and sugar levels in processed foods. Nothing, not even the cookies and cakes are too sweet. It took me a while to get used to the Heinz ketchup here, because it’s nowhere near as sweet as the U.S. product. And crunchy snacks are not overly salted. The wine here is on another level. Even the “cheap stuff” is really good. You rarely, if ever will wake up with a headache, even if you’ve over indulged. The olive oil here has this peppery almost slightly spicy finish to it. It’s so good, unlike anything in the U.S. and another thing I noticed, I haven’t eaten “greasy” food since I’ve been here. And yes, I order fried and batter-dipped foods, but nothing ever feels heavy or greasy and I can’t figure out why. Aside from the taste of food, my overall feeling is healthier. I know part of that is because I’m much more active, walking so much. But I honestly can’t recall the last time I felt “bloated” - that feeling hasn’t happened here, but in the U.S. I had that “bloat” feeling all the time. Also, I had a lot of stomach issues in the U.S. I remember always having heartburn or a churning stomach and chewing on TUMS. So much so, that I actually brought a huge container of them with me when I moved here. Oddly enough, I haven’t had one single tablet in almost 2 years.
Don’t get me wrong, I think so much of the food in the US is amazing. I love recreating US-style food here for my international friends. Im proud of my American food culture. I just think we’ve been screwed over by weird seed splicing, creepy fillers and stabilizers, artificial junk, and dyes, among many other unhealthy things.
I will die on this hill: Angela Merkel broke Germany and probably Europe. In the wreckage of post-2008, she was uniquely positioned to choose social welfare over austerity. She chose austerity. Centrists loved her. But the fascists are now stronger than they’ve been in decades.
Israele e' uno stato canaglia.
Diciamolo pubblicamente ed attiviamoci perche' il nostro paese e i paesi dell'Unione Europea lo trattino come tale a ogni livello.
