  • We mostly do not need too much storage today. For that we first need an overproduction of renewables at certain points to actually store and that is unforuntatly not the case today.

    As for scale the key technoliges seem to be batteries for shorter storage and hydrogen for longer dunkelflaute. The first is pushed mainly by EV developement, which is going to push down the price for battery packs and built enough factories to have the scale necessary. Hydrogen as a product is needed for chemical and steel production anyway. So we need to built the infrastructure for that including some storage. But development cost will mainly be meet by that.
















  • Living in another country you either adapt or become more proud of your origin. The former group is less likely to vote and the later group votes far right.

    That can be most clearly seen with groups, which had to choose citizenship, as for example Turks in Germany. For a long time Germany did not allow dual citizenship. That ended up with Turks living in Germany voting for Erdogan, if they had Turkish citizenship. However Turks who became German citizens are much more likely to vote for left leaning parties in German elections.
