Norway has long been an EV frontrunner thanks to a concerted government policy that offered generous benefits to e-car owners, from tax breaks to free ferry rides. And it helps a LOT that they don't have a car manufacturing industry. (Although of course Equinor keeps pumping oil, I would love to know the real story of Equinor and Norway throwing itself on the EV bandwagon).

Before this year ends, 1.2 million Russians will have fallen in Ukraine. That is 200,000 more fallen since June, and by June 2026, another 200,000 will perish.

232 years ago the people of France forced the body of Louis the XVI into the guillotine, to rid themselves of the cruel dictatorship.

It appears the Russians have not yet found the courage… But maybe after 2 million fallen? Or 3 million perhaps?

The day will come.
