  • The Nordic countries are about to ban gas.

    No we are not. The 2025 100% ev target in norway was always a target, and there was never talks of a ban on ice. Were somewhere at around 95-100% new sales being evs but you can still buy ice and wont be prevented from doing so atleast in the forseeable future. Rest of the world just went on assuming that it was talk of a ban. Its not. Well probably follow suit with whatever eu is doing when it comes to actual bans.


  • I dont understand your line of reasoning… you are complaining that they did nothing with their majorities and claim the only thing they would need a supermajority for is a constitutional ammenmendt and could get everything else done. When i point out the filibuster (which in case it was not clear, means you still need a supermajority for cloture and proceed to voting in the senate), you complain that they didnt put on a show? Do you thini they shouldve spent alot of effort trying to pass legislation that would never be passed anyway for show? Or am i not understanding you?

    edit: ok i was not aware of the meaning of bully pulpit. You mean they shouldve used the opportinity to advocate for better policies even though they wouldnt get the policies through?
