Yet we funded the Northern Alliance, which was an enemy of the Taliban and Osama. Osama getting funds indirectly is not the same at all, nor has any bearing on Pakistan allowing them haven throughout the entire Afghan campaign, which was a direct contributor to the resurgence and revival of the Taliban that enabled them to slowly come back to the point Afghanistan is where it is today. I just see salt from you with nothing of substance to contribute.

It's true they do, but to that point they should know how much they will depend on the help of others, and currently receive it, to defend against that mighty militaristic hermit kingdom to the North that routinely calls for destruction.

It goes 38,210 mph, while light speed is 186,000 miles per second. We just launched Orion at max speed of 22,500 mph to the moon. Just going to say we're still in the early stages of space travel, as well as talking about such a vastly large separation of speed between what's current with Voyager and the speed of light, so I think we got some time to see if we can't surpass and catch up to that thing. For shits and giggles, I mean, science.

Solar gets power even on cloudy days. It may not be as strong, but they certainly get energy through cloud cover. On top of that, using wind, hydro and other energy sources with additional battery storage helps to offset these issues. Transmission lines to better connect the energy grid EU-wide is also, clearly, a needed step, but that's not enough to deflect from making the investments in different energy sources. I worked at a solar company in Northern Germany, where they're not known for the most sunny days, and the solar we had on our facility was enough to power the entire old radio manufacturing building we owned, as well as over 343 households in the city. It's 100% possible. Ireland and the UK both have a lot of solar already, and they're perfect for wind generation. All it takes is the will to take the plunge (and they have been for years and years).
