  • Unfortunately every countries military has nationalistic fascists, some of which use Nazi iconography to display their “pride”. I could find the 1940 Swedish general election (not at war), 1942 Icelandic parliamentary election (occupied by USA), 1943 & 1944 Irish general elections (not at war) as the elections held between Sep 1939 & Sep 1945, the other democratic European country’s I reviewed, elections were either postponed or went uncontested.



  • the main reason for reducing emission is to reduce the influence of Russia and China

    Do you mean reducing gas usage? All people I’ve talked to want emissions reduced to benefit the environment, not reduce the influence of Russia / China.

    the technology is similar to fracking for gas

    (I’m not going to be using the correct terminology) There’s multiple types of heat pumps that operate by transferring the heat via the ground, air or water source. These are air and (closed) ground types

    Whereas this is an (open) ground type

    The environmental effect of closed types is during manufacturing and what the electricity is sourced from (solar, coal etc).

    For fracking what happens is water is injected into the ground in an attempt to extract gas (very simplified explanation), the resulting water and gas can then make its way into local water sources which will effect the local population. An open heat pump system works by taking the water from ground water tables, using the water for heating / cooling and putting that water back into the ground, and due to the large size of these water sources, the average temperature doesn’t really change (lighting a fire outside doesn’t increase the temperature for your neighbour).
