Norway is moving very fast to electric vehicles.

If the electricity comes from hydropower, this really does eliminate the greenhouse emissions.

There is just one bad aspect: most electric car charging systems require payment by credit card. It is very hard to travel without being tracked by this. That is an injustice.

Electric cars don't have to be tracking devices. There is no fundamental obstacle to doing this right. But countries are turning them into tracking devices.

The damage from the Big Spill reached all the way to the coast Mexico, and big decreases in seafood catch afflict the coast ten years after.

Mexican President Peña made a settlement that effectively let Billionaire Polluters off the hook. Whether or not a bribe can be identified, I call this corruption. The US has seen similar corrupt settlements recently.

The EU agreed to rescue Italy, Spain and other countries, temporarily, only to crush them in a couple of years as it crushed Greece before.

The concessions that the richer countries agreed, eliminating the conditions that crushed Greece immediately, will postpone the crushing of Italy and Spain, but not for very long.

Singapore has banned use of Zoom for schools, over a side issue.

Singapore is paying no more attention than the US to the inherent injustice of that program.
