I should of bought EV.

@idjansazov @ErikJonker @geopolitics Making public transport more accessible could make a huge difference

@jonben @ErikJonker @geopolitics

In the city yes, but outside the city ?

@idjansazov @ErikJonker @geopolitics With the right planning and resources yes, not in the most remote areas. But I live in a rather rural area and most car-trips here should be avoidable with better planning. The region pays 90% of trips already, so charging for public transport at all here feels like more of an ideological choice.

"I have a dream" to get solar panels, buy EV, prep for rain water with filter, use crypto, buy local and cut all the government from the household.

Don't matter the Trump tweets, Don't matter oil, nuclear ... nothing.

@idjansazov @ErikJonker @geopolitics Sounds nice, godspeed

@jonben @ErikJonker @geopolitics

Yeah! That's the spirit. 😎

@idjansazov @ErikJonker @geopolitics No solar panels yet, only photosynthesis and soil improvement with mulch here this far :D

@jonben @ErikJonker @geopolitics

So far, so good. Only the easy tasks left ...

@idjansazov @ErikJonker @geopolitics Yeah, the expensive parts 😅

@jonben @ErikJonker @geopolitics

there is no cheap independence 🍺

@idjansazov @ErikJonker @geopolitics Potatoes are pretty affordable, planting 1, harvesting 8 is pretty good ROI 😉

@jonben @ErikJonker @geopolitics

I think onions you can cut leafs indefinitely
