RE: China has launched the first fully electric zero-emission cargo ship in the world!
That's a good point! I tend to think of these challenges and problems on a large scale, so I often forget about the small things each and every one of us can do to stop/reduce the climate change!
I guess electricity source really depends on the political regime of the country or state you live in. I feel lucky to live in Norway where most of our energy comes from hydroelectric sources. This is not very harmful for the climate if done correctly. Ironically we pump up oil here to sell to other countries who do not produce their own sustainable energy.. Really stupid, but a lot of the people here love the money it brings.
Anyway, I also hope the developing countries follow their own pattern instead of following the destructive example the current industrial countries have set.
Oh waow, beautiful Norway. Is it a great place to live?
Oh yeah, it's very lovely here. We of course have some issues, but all countries do. However, it's a perfect place to live if you enjoy nature :)
Exactly! One of these years I hope to drive around Europe in a campervan, I'd definitely put Norway on my route. I would want to do some walking around the fjords and maybe take a stereotypical picture of me perched on some crazy overhang rock high up above a lush landscape, that's what everyone does isn't it? He he, in Ireland the thing is to go to Templebar and get drunk and not remember half of what happened (as in the one thing that all tourists do!).
Yep, that's pretty much what every tourist here does! But it's really nice, so it's worth it ;)
If you come to Norway, then don't expect to get drunk too often! You would not believe how crazy expensive drinking alcohol is here. Regular bars does charge you $11-15 per 0.5L of beer!
I already heard that. It's okay, even though I'm Irish I do manage to survive without getting a regular skinful!
