While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:

A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.

Eight times! To me, that’s insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!

        Leaving nuclear power was decided on by the conservatives and social democrats in 2011 with an end of life plan until 2023. This decision was already prepared in 2002 btw. And they’re not closed in favor of fossils, but in favor of renewables. Sure, fossils are still in the mix and we can debate if nuclear power is considered sustainable. But the Greens didn’t close nuclear power plants in favor of fossil fuels.

          Well, seeing as they’re still using fossil fuel plants, they kinda did. They can say it was to change to renewables all they want, but if they’re still burning fossils then what’s the point? Shouldn’t their main objective be decarbonisation?
