My “favourite” bit of boomer talk in that regard is: “But if it gets seriously cold, you’ll freeze.” Heat pumps work better with higher temperature differences, numbnut. Similarly with EVs. If low temperatures are such an issue, why do Norwegians almost exclusively buy electric?

The campaign ads in favor of cutting the budget are really unnerving. They play hard on “look how much money you would save”, and use AI generated video clips, particularly of elderly and children. The last poll I saw predicted an uncertain outcome, so it doesn’t seem unrealistic that the people will actually vote to cut the budget. And that makes me sick.
