  6. You can tell that this piece was written by Americans. Two points that are very important but were missed: 1) Tesla doesn't understand the European market. They're not luxurious enough to demand a premium price point and they don't produce smaller city cars that appeal to mass consumers. Their customers are all tech bros because their products don't appeal to the European market at large. 2) E-bikes are massive in Europe. They're outselling EVs left and right. And governments are focusing more on rail transit while America is still expanding its highways. It looks like the electrification of transport in Europe will be largely on two wheels and rail, not on four wheels.

  18. Shawn Brink America withdrew from an international agreement, pissing off every foe and ally, and now somehow wants Iran to stick to it regardless. And now America is throwing drones at them. Of course they're going to shoot them down. America created the conflict and America is the one escalating it.

  19. Ed Reyes I see one problem with that plan: if it ever succeeds, it will succeed a bit too much. Once there's too much weed growing everywhere to root out, it's become an unstoppable invasive species, and things will go to shit. Do you want potheads to be known as the ones who ruined nature? Leave that to the fossil fuels industry.

  22. The Koala kingdom SHOW Both European and American cities were naturally constructed. They expanded because they had demand. It's not like either continent was creating huge ghost cities in the middle of nowhere like China. The only difference is that America had a very top-down approach whereas Europe was built from ground up.

  38. You need to be public about it because 1) visibility normalizes everything and letting homophobes see that they're the minority might make them reconsider and 2) we need to let those who are struggling to accept themselves understand that they're not alone or weird. What better way to make people understand they're not going to be shunned for being different than to out-weird them with pride parades?

  46.  @tukangpempek5390  Would you want to live in a city where you had to climb up stairs every time you wanted to cross the street? Is that a pleasant walking experience? Would you want to go on long walks? Would old people and the disabled be able to go anywhere? How would bikes cross the street? It's been tried and it's a failed solution. It's a band-aid solution to "fix" the problem of cars killing people. Don't treat the symptom, and instead get rid of the root cause, the car. They don't belong in cities because they can kill you.

  47. Is the point of prisons to get revenge on others or to make society safer? The Nordic countries seem to be doing a lot better if it’s the latter. America on the other hand incentivizes the political system to imprison people because there are private prisons that turn a profit and then provide huge campaign donations to politicians who approve their conduct.

  74. Leverage? Incredible political illiteracy here. NI voted to remain but it’s the DUP that is using this as leverage. The DUP does not want a special status within the UK but rather wants to stay as integral of a part of the UK as possible while remaining as separate from the Republic as possible. Them forming a majority with the Tories in Westminster allows them to stop any proposals of a special status because they will simply destroy the government and trigger an election. Everyone knows that a hard border would not be a workable solution but what other choice do you have if the outer border of the independent British economy and trade zone goes through there? You can’t control the flow of goods and migrants without enforcing a border. The EU would be happy to give NI a special status and has been suggesting this since day one but May’s hands are tied. The EU just wants a solution but May isn’t able to give one. You can’t keep discussing the relationship between the UK and the EU before you solve this quagmire. Soft Brexit would be the most logical solution but that isn’t to May’s liking.

  75.  @adee6467  Because climate change, noise and air pollution, children and many disabled people can't drive, not everyone can afford cars so it's a handout to the rich, highways are really really really expensive, it's an incredibly inefficient use of space so walking and transit will become even more difficult, tires are one of the largest sources of ocean microplastics...

  77. Anon ymous The only way to relieve congestion is to have fewer cars on the roads, not conveniencing driving even further. The best thing for drivers would be to put all those idiots driving ahead of you on their own two feet, bikes, and public transport, would it not? The Dutch like to say that you can fit 5-10 bikes in the space that a car takes up. I mean talk about capacity! But as long as these modes of transport are not feasible alternatives to driving, that's never going to happen. The freeway is not just an eyesore, it's impacting the economy of the city in a dramatic fashion. You see, downtowns benefit from economies of scale. The bigger the dense downtown area is, the more easily different businesses in various industries can mingle and coalesce. This is why Manhattan is thriving and Dallas is not. Distance is a barrier to cooperation and human contact. Fast transport guarantees a flexible workforce which is happy to be paid a bit less because they don’t have to pay for a car. Connecting and expanding the downtown area where it makes the most financial sense, and building housing and jobs in the area with the most direct highway access in all of Texas is a no-brainer. People won't be taking the I-345 so much anymore when they live or work where it used to be.

  81. I've seen the guy talk in person and he didn't come across any better in this interview either. I'm honestly shocked that the Dutch government hasn't sent him back yet. Press freedom is a fundamental part of a democracy. If you're not an elected official, like this guy isn't, then you gotta at least be open to questions. Such a sad state of affairs.

You're constantly staring at asphalt, lights, and metal boxes, and when you get going, you're going too fast to enjoy the architecture. And you won't smell the smells, hear the sounds, or meet the people of each neighborhood. It's just you in your metal cocoon.

  86. I don't think you're getting the point of this video. Mark Rutte's official position is "most people are going to get it anyway so might as well let it happen controllably." Spain and Italy's policy is "we're trying to prevent ALL infections at any cost because our experience has shown for certain that nothing else works." And science agrees with the latter position. The Netherlands is essentially giving up from the get-go and letting hundreds of thousands die because the government is pessimistic about its own ability to control it.

  89. Awful planning. You don't get rid of traffic issues by attracting more and more cars into your city. Look up the term "induced demand." The only things that help are promoting walking and cycling and building public transport. If focusing on highways helped at all, Los Angeles would be a transportation paradise and Amsterdam would be a total nightmare but the opposite is true. Sad to see Africa moving so quickly in the wrong direction. I mean, how are you even supposed to cross the road at 5:34?

  97.  @Skyfoogle  Demolish highways and parking and build dense transit-reliant housing in their place. Paris has the same population density as Manhattan because they don't waste space on single-person cars like New York does. Each car needs at least two parking spots and enough space to travel between them. That's the space of a small apartment wasted on one person's commuting which can usually be done by bike or streetcar instead.

  98.  @Jesusswe91  Try this: they will get to work a lot faster because their streetcars and buses are no longer slowed down by single-person cars. At least that's the big problem in Helsinki.

  107. The secret is separation. Instead of splitting every street 30% bikes 70% cars, they should have bike-only streets, maybe every third. Sure, cars would lose a bit of space, but pedestrians would be attracted to the quieter street, reducing conflicts and improving traffic flow on the car streets. Another tactic the Dutch use is pedestrianizing a few blocks around major transit hubs because that keeps the people flowing in and out of transit.

  115.  @Skyfoogle  The Helsinki region has 1.3 million people, 25% of the entire country. The national government is planning on building trains to the closest other cities that would put more than 50% of the whole country's population within 1 to 1.5 hour's reach from downtown Helsinki by train (plus bus), even more as Helsinki and other cities in south-southwestern Finland keep booming like crazy. You couldn't do that with cars because they take about 2 hours when there's no traffic even though it's all highways from downtown to downtown the whole way. Downtown Helsinki is on a narrow peninsula so small, that it's practically an island connected to everything else with massive bridges. Only so many cars can fit on Helsinki's limited road network that the city has to think of other ways to get more people in and out of the city. These commuters from outside the city that you mention are tired of sitting in endless traffic on bridges as locals are taking their cars to do shopping. The locals are tired of having to take the car to go shopping because biking still feels dangerous and the buses and trams/streetcars are stuck behind cars. What the city is doing is looking at what modes of transport are used on what roads and reassigning the space accordingly, so as to best fit the needs of the people and not have economic growth be hindered by people struggling to get from one place to another. According to the city, only 25% of trips in Helsinki are done by car, so why do they get 75% of the street and most of the transportation budget? Despite the sub-arctic climate, Helsinki has the world's most popular bike-sharing scheme; why can't bicyclists have their own lanes where they feel safe and seen? Why not have more people living on this end of the highway rather than the other?

  166. Germany has a lower population density than the NL, more km of expensive roads per tax payer, and more traffic that wears the road since people aren't biking as much. What may look like a minor upgrade to us living in the NL, can be a massive investment into cars in a time that we should be driving less. Since the 1970s, the Dutch have made some pretty smart choices in terms of urban design and mobility, more so than the neighbors, and now we're reaping the benefits.

  194. ​ @alicemilne1444  I live in the Netherlands and speak fluent Dutch. I grew up speaking Swedish, and I speak German at home with my German fiancé. Trust me when I say that Norwegians don't even have to concentrate when I speak Swedish to them, because Norwegian and Swedish are different variants of the same Scandinavian language. This is just like my fiancé who does not struggle to understand Luxembourgish without prior exposure. The dialectal differences within Norway are greater than the difference between standard Bokmål Norwegian spoken in Oslo vs standard Swedish. Same thing with German and Luxembourgish: Bavarian is more distantly related to Rhineland German than Rhineland German is to their Luxembourgish neighbors. If you can understand one another without having to alter your speech or concentrating too much, in my book, you are speaking the same language, despite what 19th century nationalism is trying to tell you. A Dutchman and a northern German cannot have an effortless conversation without switching to English, making them more distinct languages.

We're different countries and we have different policies even though the general model is roughly the same. Please stop lying.

  227. Europe here chiming in. Don't make the same mistakes as America did, please. If you think that adding more and more lanes and underpasses and overpasses will solve traffic, look at Los Angeles or Houston because those are the cities you're modeling yours after. In both cities, the economy is suffering because people can't get anywhere, emergency services are stuck in traffic, deliveries are late, distances are great. They are endless parking lots because those cars need places to be stored. The fact is that cars take up too much space. No city in the history of the earth has ever paved its way out of traffic jams. 10 sq m per one person is simply too much. And because people love comfort and personal space, they will take private cars if you give them the opportunity. This is called induced demand, look it up. In order to fit more people onto the streets, and especially into intersections, you need to make one traveler more space-efficient. If you want to learn how to avoid congestion, you need to learn from cities that have the least congestion, not the most. Ever heard of cars getting into a traffic jam in Amsterdam? How about Venice? What they did was not to allow too many cars in the first place, so the cities are in constant motion average speeds remain higher. That's the end goal, but here's a few simple half-measures that will go a long way: 1) Give buses their own lanes on every major road. 2) Give perks to people that drive with more than 1 person in the car. 3) Give separate lanes to bikes and mopeds. They take up a fraction of the space of a car, so their use should be encouraged. Make sure that they are as far away from car traffic and that they form coherent wholes that go from place A to place B. 4) Block through-traffic in major downtown areas and major transit hubs. This will ensure that those who have other options like bike, public transport, foot, or whatever will take them instead of getting in the way of other traffic that actually needs to be for one reason or another. Reducing traffic noise and obstacles makes for some really great shopping areas, by the way. Kind of like outdoor malls. 5) Remove parking from major roads and move them somewhere else. Look for spaces where there's even a tiny bit of extra room for parked cars and remove as many from a busier road. Cars looking for a parking spot, and then eventually parking into it, get in the way of others that need to get through.

  237. It's been three years since the vote and the people of Britain still don't even know what Brexit actually means in practice. There's no plan in place, there's no leadership, and the campaign to leave was based on lies on double-deckers. It's time that Britain halts this mess. Britain needs to focus on all the issues that really matter which have been neglected for years now (climate change, Russia, China, the Saudis, migration). There needs to be a second vote but only when matters of real importance have been dealt with first and there's a clear timeline and plan for carrying out Brexit. 52% might have voted for leave but that was several years ago and certainly not everyone voted for a hard Brexit.

But cyclists get to zip right through the bollards and get from compartment to compartment directly and with ease. It's always fun to browse Google Maps and see how different areas of the Netherlands have pulled off that very same trick. Like, for example, Amsterdam is an extreme example of this. Just for fun, look up car directions between the New Church and the Old Church in Amsterdam. The distance is literally 10x longer by car than if you were to walk or cycle, and that's only because cars have to take the long way 'round on the bigger streets instead of cutting through the busy shopping streets.

All of the economic indicators you have mentioned are thanks to Obama's hard work to stimulate the economy and turn it around. 2 years as president are not enough to turn such a massive economy around, not at all. In fact, Trump is doing his best to crash the economy, if anything. China banned all US agricultural products and American farmers are reporting record losses. Dow Jones crashed by 800 points just the other day and people are expecting yet another Republican-caused recession. White supremacists (people who HATE Indians) are killing people in the streets and Trump calls them good people. Trump destroyed the Iran nuclear deal and now they're back to developing nuclear weapons again. He even almost started a war against them, remember? I do. He has not managed to deliver a single one of his campaign promises: no repeal of the Affordable Care Act, no wall on the border, and no Clintons in prison. The only thing he has achieved is a tax cut to the megawealthy.

    1
  376.  @stephenfrancis9498  It's a false dilemma. What is there to handle? How has immigration impacted your life negatively? Besides, the president has married two immigrants and the previous one was the son of a 3rd world immigrant. Immigration is essentially the core unifier of the country, its birth story.

  380. Gargon the Imperator Bernie doesn't support socialism. Socialism is seizing the means of production, meaning banning private enterprise in favor of state-owned and worker-owned companies. No one is advocating for that. Bernie is in favor of European-style capitalism where poor people never have to worry about personal bankruptcy because everyone can afford health care and a proper education, and a system where people have the freedom to choose other forms of transport than the car. Democratic socialism is a confusing term and it's easier to think of as "socio-capitalism."

Trump has held back on testing "because tests mean more cases," he's prevented the CDC from publishing real figures, and thousands more are listed as dying from pneumonia instead of COVID. If you compare the total number of all deaths in 2020 to 2019, the number of Americans who have died from COVID is likely to be way higher than officially reported. Look it up. But it is what it is, right? In any case, what's your defense when it comes to the other stuff that I mentioned? Like nepotism?

  468. A lot of the ethanol found in fuels like E10 (10% ethanol) is corn alcohol. Ethanol releases CO2 in the production phase (ie. fermentation) and when it's burned. However, the CO2 that it releases was collected and trapped by the corn plant while it was growing, so it's merely recycling the same carbon already found in the atmosphere rather than releasing underground deposits into our air. Therefore, ethanol is close to carbon-neutral because its net CO2 emissions come from farming and transportation.

  483. This video completely misses the point about the car: 1) It was a halo car, just like the Bugatti Veyron. Its entire point was to be unusual for the brand and change people's minds about what VW can offer. And it completely did away with the "Audis and Bentleys are just VWs" argument because now you could counter it with "Not really, but so what, because the Phaeton's as good as the S series." The car gave the brand the sports luxury cred it needed in order to make even more expensive versions of Audis, Lamborghinis, Bentleys etc. and then later go on to acquire Porsche. They tried to change their brand image, at least in Europe, and I'd say that it was totally successful. 2) Gerhard Schröder was a Social Democratic Chancellor of Germany at the time, and he couldn't be seen driving around in a Merc or a BMW, so he needed a top-shelf VW to rep in. Volkswagen and Schröder are both from the German state of Lower Saxony, and the state is a major stockholder in the company, so there's this connection.

And why is Mumbai currently flooding _as we speak_? - sanitation - - working on it already, check the stats ->LOL - traffic safety - working on it already, check the stats and BTW this project does belong to the fourth point you have mentioned. -> Can you send me a Street View link to a single bike lane or raised pedestrian crossing in Mumbai? No, you cannot cheat induced demand. You need to close some streets that are currently open to motor traffic if you want to reduce congestion in the more crowded parts of the city. Opening more lanes just leads to more cars and more traffic over time.

  497.  @Dave5843-d9m  The Tesla Model 3 and Taycan Turbo are two different markets altogether. People who buy Model 3s want a daily driver that isn't too expensive. People who buy Taycans are wealthy car enthusiasts who want the top of the range luxury, acceleration, and handling. The Turbo S is actually .6 secs faster 0-60 than the Model 3 Performance, so it does deliver. Teslas don't compete with the Taycan as much as other Porsche models do in terms of market niche.

  498. langmen Mensen met een beperking mogen op 't fietspad met hun scooters en Canta's. Nederland is veel te klein voor auto's. En als je anstig wordt van het normale leven, dan hoef je niet meer naar buiten.

  503. colorrage At 75 mph, the Taycan's range is within striking distance of the Model S Performance. This thing was built with the autobahn in mind because Europeans aren't huge fans of city driving. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a30874032/porsche-taycan-range-test-tesla-model-s/

  506. The Bald Eagle I'm a Finn and our leftmost party makes noise about increasing student benefits and immigration, and they support stuff like vegetarianism, Europe, and immigration. Their agenda is pretty much the same as the Greens' but they got there by turning from a blue collar labor party into a pseudo-academic millennial jerkfest.

  508.  @guff9567  Lol, I moved here because it's literally the best functioning country in the EU at the moment. Low debt, flexible economy, good transportation options, nice relaxed cities, better infrastructure than all nearby countries, gay-friendly etc. You couldn't pay me to move to Belgium or Germany, for example.
