HN: share your unneeded Google Wave invites - <AUTHOR> <edit2>
This post may be premature. If that is the case, I will atone for my mistake by collecting the email addresses from this thread and throwing up a simple invite sharing site for use later on.
</edit2>
<edit1>
from Google: "We'll ask some of these early users to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations — Google Wave is a lot more useful if your friends, family and colleagues have it too. This, of course, will just be the beginning. If all goes well we will soon be inviting many more to try out Google Wave."
for more information read http://mashable.com/2009/09/29/google-wave-invites-2/
</edit1>
Requesters:
Leave a note and your email address (you can protect it from bots with reCAPTCHA mailhide http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/)
Share the love after you get your invite
Donors:
To prevent waste, leave a reply to a requester's message before you dispatch the invite
Also: thanks for sharing <comment><USER2> As far as I know people won't be able to invite others, so there is no invite to share. You'll only be able to recommend (8) friends, and they will have priority on the others.

BTW: I am in the developer preview but I haven't received the invite for the real thing. I asked to the others in the sandbox but it doesn't look like there's any invite being received so far.

<comment><USER3> According to google's official blog ([http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/surfs-up-wednesday- go...](http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/surfs-up-wednesday-google-wave- update.html)):

\- They're sending 100.000 invites _starting_ from today

\- They'll ask _some_ of the invited users to nominate others to also receive early invites

So they're probably not giving all of them away today, not everyone will get invites to share and if you do they won't be direct invites but nominations.

<comment><USER4> According to the Google Australia team, they won't be releasing the invites until tonight so that they will be up to handle the influx of users. <http://twitter.com/twephanie>

Also, here's my email, if the nominations/invites exist: johngunderman[at]gmail.com Thanks :)

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> Invites are coming later in the day according to Stephanie Hannon (Google Wave team member): <http://twitter.com/twephanie/status/4497929072>

</comment><comment><AUTHOR> Hi, I posted this notice, but can no longer edit it.

Join <http://groups.google.com/group/hn-google-wave-invite-pool> instead of posting your address here. Hopefully, when the invites come out we can help each other out.

As of 5:41 eastern 9/30, I am no longer manually adding posted email addresses to that group.

<comment><USER6> Great idea - now to just resubmit it as its own topic so it hits critical mass.

</comment><comment><USER10> I will state here-forth that I am prepared to perform such deeds, to go lower than man has ever gone, to plunge the depths of degradation just in order to gain an early invite to Google Wave.

Thank-you.

If anyone can be bothered. Annoyingly I actually got the email invite for the dev sandbox a while back, but the form to actually request the account didn't seem to work for me.

</comment><comment><USER12> If there are extra invites, I would greatly appreciate one (I'm a college student working on a project potentially involving XMPP, and looking to learn from Wave).

Thank you.

</comment><comment><USER13> I'm curious as to what everyone in seeing when the navigate to wave.google.com and if that can be used to discover if you're going to get an invite or not?

</comment><comment><USER15> When invites are available, perhaps something similar to the GMail Invite Spooler (<http://isnoop.net/gmail/> ) could be created?

It would certainly beat the inevitable mass-posting of email addresses in comment forms (and worse, there's no way to be sure when someone has received an invite)

I'll share the love with whoever wants! Also, I want to write some plugins and extensions, to learn about xmpp + Wave + python.

Once again, thanks.

Man ordered to tell police if he plans to have sex - <AUTHOR> http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-35385227 <comment><USER2> He must tell the police the address and date of birth of any woman he plans to sleep with.

"The working group should not agree to freeze whatever syntax Chrome ships" - <AUTHOR> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Feb/0103.html <comment><USER2> The problem is the standards process exists to keep people from swinging their weight to force rushed/poorly thought-out technologies into a platform some already accuse of fragmentation and bloat. And to people who "But this is Google!" Throwing the process under the bus today because you think your favorite tech company can do no wrong screws everyone later when management changes. Management will change. The process is here to protect the web's interests regardless of whether any one actor's intent is good or not. If Google steamrolls everyone today, who will steamroll everyone tomorrow? The MPAA is on the W3C too.

<comment><USER3> The last example seems implausible: the MPAA doesn't ship a browser and can't control features by fiat.

I guess I'm not understanding the firestorm here (rather, I am, but in an uncharitable way as YET ANOTHER !@#?! Apple vs. Google proxy war on HN). Google developed a feature they like and want to ship it. They want it to be a standard. Apple (at least this one Apple person) doesn't want it standardized yet. Google is noting that they are going to want to ship this anyway ("threatening to ship it anyway" if you swing that way).

So what? Surely this kind of argument happens any time you have a proposed standard from a single vendor. What's special about Shadow DOM that it can't tolerate this kind of disagreement?

<comment><USER4> > MPAA doesn't ship a browser and can't control features by fiat.

DRM extensions (EME) have shipped in Chrome and IE already (with whole W3C process steamrolled), so it seems that MPAA does control browser features — by proxy (Google Play/Xbox video store).

<comment><USER3> Missed the point. All W3C committee member influence the set of features covered by W3C standards. That's what the W3C committe _is for_.

But the allegation here is that Google is ignoring the standardization process and shipping features before getting signoff via a committee draft, and that's a bad thing. The MPAA can't ship features at all, so they would never have access to this trick without convincing a browser vendor to do it for them.

the money quote: "We feel the standard is sufficiently advanced, the remaining issues sufficiently small, and the benefit to authors sufficiently great to justify shipping sooner rather than later."

the Shadow DOM is pretty awesome, so I'll agree with the "benefit to authors sufficiently great" part. No comment on the rest.

<comment><USER6> I disagree that the Shadow DOM is pretty awesome. I think scoping style is valuable, but building components that are exposed as new tags is not appealing given the vast complexity of the implementation and the limitations of tags.

Markup has a very weak type system (strings and children) which makes building complex UIs more painful than it has to be (this also stands for markup driven toolkits like angular and knockout -- where the equivalent of main() is HTML markup and mostly declarative). Markup isn't a real programming language, and it's very weak compared to a true declarative programming language.

JavaScript however is a real programming language with all of the constructs you need for building extensible systems. For building anything complex (which is where Shadow DOM should shine) you will need to use extensive JS, you will need your Shadow DOM components to expose rich interfaces to JS... At which point, why are you still trying to do mark-up first -- it's something that's more "in your way" than helpful.

<comment><USER7> Thank you! I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I truly do not understand why Google feels that application composition should happen at the presentation layer rather than the code layer, particularly when the presentation layer is as weakly typed as HTML. This was tried and failed in the very first round of server-side web frameworks back in the mid-late 90s. More recently, the complexity of Angular's transclusion logic should have clued them in that this is an unwieldy idea.

I agree that some kind of style scoping construct would be a good addition, and far simpler than ShadowDOM. Simple namespacing would be a good start. It would be a more elegant solution to the kludgy class prefixing that has become common (".my-component-foo", ".my-component-bar", etc.)

<comment><USER8> Well, for one thing, div-soups are hard to read, create deeply nested DOMs, and lack semantics or transparency. If you're trying to preserve the nature of the web, which is transparent, indexable data, one where "View Source" actually has some use to you, then having a big ball of JS instantiate everything is very opaque.

<comment><USER7> The phrase "div-soup" makes me reach for my revolver. It seems to be a straw man that means "Either you're for Web Components or you're for the worst of web engineering."

\- How does ShadowDOM (or Web Components more generally) make your DOM shallower? It's still the same box model. Deeply nested DOM structures are usually the result of engineers who don't understand the box model and so over-decorate their DOMs with more markup than is semantically or functionally necessary. Nothing in ShadowDOM (or, again, Web Components) changes this.

\- Are custom elements really more transparent than divs? If "View Source" shows

...

, do you really gain much if it shows <custom-element-you've-never-heard-of-with-unknown-semantics><another- custom-element><and-another>...</etc></etc></etc>? Proponents of Web Components seem to imagine that once you can define your own elements, you'll magically become a better engineer, giving your elements nice, clear semantics and cleanly orthogonal functionality. If people didn't do that with the existing HTML, why will custom elements change them? At least with divs, I can be reasonably sure that I'm looking at a block element. Custom elements, I got nuthin'. They're not transparent. They're a black box.

\- Finally (and more importantly), we already solved the "div-soup" problem. It was called XHTML. Custom elements in encapsulated namespaces! Composable libraries of semantically-meaningful markup! How's that working out today? It's not.

TL;DR: a common presentation DTD is the strength of the web, not its weakness. Attempts to endow web applications with stronger composition/encapsulation should not be directed at the DOM layer but at the CSS and JS layers above and below it.

<comment><USER8> 1\. Shadow DOM scopes down what CSS selectors can match, so deep structures can hide elements from expensive CSS rules.

2\. Custom Elements promote a declarative approach to development, as opposed to having JS render everything.

3\. XHTML was not the same as Shadow DOM/Custom Elements. XHTML allowed produce custom DSL variants of XHTML, but you still ended up having to implement them in native code as trying to polyfill SVG for example would be horrendously inefficient.

4\. The weakness of the web is the lack of composeability due to lack of encapsulation. Shit leaks, and leaks all over the page. Some third party JS widget can be completely fucked up by CSS in your page and vice versa.

A further weakness is precisely the move to presentation style markup. Modern web apps are using the document almost as if it were a PostScript environment, and frankly, that sucks. We are seeing an explosion of "single page apps" that store their data in private data silos, and fetch them via XHRs, rendering into a div-soup.

The strength of the web was publishing information in a form that a URL represented the knowledge. Now the URL merely represents a


Tim Berners-Lee's TED Talk: The next Web of open, linked data - <AUTHOR> http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_berners_lee_on_the_next_web.html <comment><USER2> I found myself cringing watching this talk. Berners-Lee seemed so nervous, stressed out. Certainly under strain, for whatever reason. I hope he is/was okay, you know, generally, and that it was just that big red timer and the VIPs in the audience, or something equally obvious. I watched the video a couple of days after Bill Gates' talk about malaria, and sure, maybe linked data may end up saving the world'n'all, but I did cringe when he invited the audience to shout "Raw Data Now!". Especially when compared to Gates' letting mosquitoes out into the audience, it just seemed silly. Mmm. Now I'm sounding all holier-than-thou, huh.

<comment><USER3> IMHO TimBL did a great job at TED. I dunno where you have seen him stressed out - he certainly enjoyed it. Btw, linked data is mainly about URIs and HTTP and yes RDF (for the data model part) and some lightweight vocabularies such as FOAF, SOIC, Dublin Core, etc. - check out <http://webofdata.wordpress.com> as well, I blog there about it ;)

Cheers, Michael

PS: To be honest, I was also sort of surprised to see him calling the audience like 'speak after me'. However, I was positively surprised - I really like when people put enthusiasm in things and not only give interesting but boring talks. In that sense I very much support TimBL to continue this (though, maybe not go as far as Steven B. at MS did with his infamous 'monkey dance' ;)

<comment><USER4> you must have meant SIOC (where SOIC is written)

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> Open data would be a much more sellable concept if it was integrated into the development process in a fairly seamless way. If the application itself could be built around the open data standards, without obviously spending a lot of time on things that provide no immediate value, it would be much easier to justify.

My boss/client is not going to pay me to add REST interfaces and metadata that has only vague hypothetical future usefulness _but_ he might pay me to build the data layer for the application in a way that just happens to also be somewhat open, especially if doing so makes the application better or easier to build.

To meet that requirement, the universal ontology stuff might have to be sacrificed but just having API access to more web apps, even if they are all proprietary, would be a worthwhile compromise.

Based on the video alone, I thought that was what TBL was proposing but I see from the links that he's still pushing the whole RDF rigamarole. That might catch on among a few large informational projects but the web at large is either going to ignore it or make a mess out of it.

<comment><USER4> The strength of RDF is in seamless data integration.

Think flexible data mashups (where you don't need to code to the interface of a particular service because they all use same linked data principles).

I have seen people build a simple application and then increase its value by automatically pulling in information from other large source of linked data such as DBPedia and GeoNames.

Fully agree that we need simple and understandable demos that show the value of linked data (assuming for a moment that linked data have business value :).

<comment><USER5> That's an example of value derived from consuming generic data, but how do you get value from providing it?

Providing generic third party access is a rare case in business. Usually, data is used by third parties for a specific purpose that requires substantial domain knowledge, in which case an RDF description is probably redundant and useless.

There may be business models based on generic data but those businesses will face a serious bootstrapping problem as they will likely require either a critical mass of generic data providers or consumers, which are mutually dependent.

The bootstrapping will have to be grassroots, as it was for the original "unstructured" web, which succeeded due to the ease of publishing HTML documents, which is much simpler than publishing structured data.

<comment><USER6> "how do you get value from providing it" - how do you get value from publishing anything on the web? The same principles apply. The value comes from making information more readily available, so people can find out new things, make connections, do their jobs better. If you want to make money from it (and of course a lot of data has already been paid for by the taxpayer) then you can do all the usual stuff: charge for access, charge for services built on top of the data, provide it free and use it to build your brand or to gain attention of people that can be sold to advertisers etc.

One important use case is publishing data for re-use within an enterprise or other organisation - it doesn't necessarily need to always be public.

I want it to be trivial to make a greasemonkey script which adds people's small facebook profile photo into their news.yc profiles.

Or add a feature which lets me share a news.yc story on anything that implements a share-link interface - say, with my facebook friends, or my twitter followers, without leaving news.yc.

These things are possible right now, but doing them requires a lot of work, most of which would be duplicated (lots of html parsing, for example). How can we make it easier?

<comment><USER7> Here's another, if you want to get the gist of what I'm thinking:

When I go to news.yc from my work browser, display any blocker bugs assigned to me in our internal bug tracking application on top of the stories, in bold.

Again, this is doable in greasemonkey, but would should require a trivial amount of work with the right API's in place.

In 10 years from now, the use cases and abilities of the internet are likely to be drastically different. His talk is just hinting at the ideas of whats yet to come.

</comment><comment><USER9> I did not find a lot of info about his idea (Linked Data). Does anybody knows if there is a standard or something that is written at this time regarding his vision explained in this video?

<comment><USER10> It's just a user friendly term for Semantic Web.

<comment><USER11> Nope, the semantic web was about reasoning. Linked data is about linking data, and in effect creating a large distributed database. One way to think about it, is to consider building a system that stores a tracking code for a package. Instead of storing XXX-XXXXXX-XXX use the URI so that it can just be deferenced to get more information. In effect you are linking your store data with shippers data.

This could allow you to write trivial queries to quickly identify if there are bottlenecks in how your packages are shipped etc.

Also the development of SPARQL was a significant milestone, that really changes how one works with rdf.

A linked data web could then be used to for reasoning on top of it, but it would need to be large and thus it needs to be useful before the reasoning can be used. For instance, imagine the original web when people were working on search engines with only a few pages... The pages need to exist first.

<comment><USER10> Quoting Wikipedia: "Linked Data is a sub-topic of the Semantic Web. The term Linked Data is used to describe a method of exposing, sharing, and connecting data via dereferenceable URIs on the Web."

Norway: 37% of new vehicles sold in January were electric - <AUTHOR> https://electrek.co/2017/02/15/norway-electric-vehicle-market-share-record/ <comment><USER2> Expect the numbers to drop right back down again in a few years. A major reason for people owning a EV, a law that was introduced back when Thinks were the big deal EV to have (yeah, right) that allowed EVs to use the bus lanes and not pay a toll, have been repealed.

Note that it was only when Tesla made the EV comparable to a sportscar that it picked up in Norway. And that was because now the rich of the nation could bypass the rush hour traffic and not pay road tolls, while still own something that looked and drove like the neighbors gas guzzler.

Over time that thinking trickled down to the wider population along with more practical and cheaper EV designs.

But now the big incentive is gone, and thus i suspect the trend will reverse soon enough.

<comment><USER3> Tesla only sold 2 vehicles in Denmark in 2016, dropping from 2800 sold in 2015. This was after the Danish government added the regular registration tax to electric vehicles.

That supports the commentators point of view.

[https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=da&tl=en&u=h...](https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=da&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffinans.dk%2Flive%2Ferhverv%2FECE8516793%2Fteslaboblen- er-bristet-har-kun-solgt-to-biler-i-2016%2F%3Fctxref%3Dext)

<comment><USER4> For those skeptical there could be such a big drop, useful background is that the Danish registration tax for new vehicles is 150% of the purchase price (with roughly the first €10k exempted). Previously it was 180% of the purchase price above €10k, but electric cars were exempted. An agreement was reached among several parties in 2015 to lower the overall rate from 180% to 150%, but to phase out the electric-car exemption. This hits Tesla's high-end cars especially hard, e.g. the model that used to cost €100k will end up costing €200k+ after tax, which obviously is attractive to many fewer buyers. Previously the €100k tax-exempt Tesla was effectively competing against gasoline models in the €40k pre-tax range.

I would expect a less dramatic decline for lower-priced electric cars, some of which do also have sales in Denmark, like the Nissan Leaf or Volkswagen e-uP, but I haven't found numbers.

<comment><USER5> Wow these taxes sound out of this world (in my home country Poland, it's 3% or 17%, depending on the engine size).

Hasn't anyone attempted to go around it by finding someone in say Germany to register the car as a first owner and then immediately purchasing the car (as a used car now) from him?

<comment><USER6> Used car imports also get taxed by the same percentage. And you can't cheat, because they decide the value of the car, not your receipt.

<comment><USER7> What limitations are there for just using a German registered car?

That's one of the main arguments that is being brought up here in Estonia when the socialists try to create a car registration tax. The opponents claim that people will just go a bit south to Latvia and register their car there, and then just drive around with a Latvian registration. There aren't any restrictions that prohibit this.

Similar behavior exists with alcohol. The Finnish are especially well known for their alcohol-tourism into Estonia. They come here during weekends and buy multiple crates worth of alcohol and go back. Two-way ferry ticket from Helsinki to Tallinn can cost as little as 10 € during sales, so economy-wise it can be cheaper even if you just want a 6-pack of beer. The funny thing is that as years have passed and Estonian alcohol tax has risen, we're now in a situation where southern-Estonians drive to Latvia to get their alcohol. That's also why the car registration point is so clear to us, because we're already seeing it with consumables where you have to make regular trips instead of a single one.

<comment><USER4> You can drive a German-registered car as a tourist who isn't resident in Denmark, but if you move to Denmark and become a resident (or already were resident), you must register the car in Denmark within 30 days of bringing it into the country [1].

But yes, some amount of this happens. The easiest case to get away with it is probably if you are actually from another EU country, and just keep it registered in your home country at a relative's address, and travel back occasionally to keep your license, insurance, and registration up to date. If you're Danish and have no foreign address, it would be more complicated to get it sorted out, especially with insurance, but I'm sure there are people who do it. Police attempt to crack down on it by looking for foreign-registered cars that seem to be parked too regularly in the same residential area (e.g. in front of a block of flats in Copenhagen). That's not illegal _per se_ , since you might be a longer-term visitor, but they investigate these cases and catch some number each year.

Besides foreign-registered vehicles, the other most common evasion mechanism is probably agriculturally registered vehicles (which are exempt from tax). Hard to do if you have no connection to a farm at all, but in families where some of the family are genuinely farmers, the rest of the family who aren't will in some cases end up with all their vehicles registered at the farm.

<comment><USER8> I wonder what happens if you're _leasing_ the car? Technically it's not your property, so you can't register it.

I'm sure there's some kind of mechanism to prevent people from driving cars leased in another country, but how does it work?

<comment><USER9> You're just not allowed to drive that car in the country. The European Union common market and free movement of goods doesn't apply to cars when the tax revenue of governments is at stake. Finland has had a somewhat similar car taxation as Denmark, and here the government breaks EU law at will; when some procedure is ruled illegal by EU courts, the government replaces it with a new wording and the circus starts all over. No official is ever held accountable.

How does police find those who drive a foreign vehicle illegally? Stop a vehicle in foreign plates, ask driver's license; if it is a local national driving, investigate. Police have very much powers in Nordic countries for these cases (they can always stop a car and investigate, there's no American type requirement for a probable cause.)

And of course, there are always people who report suspected tax evaders to the police.

There used to be a sort of a hunt for these cases between Sweden (who has no car sales tax) and Finland. E.g. there was a guy who lived in Haparanda on Swedish side and had a girlfriend in Tornio on the Finnish side, and stayed too many nights at the girlfriend's place. He got a big fine and had to pay back taxes because he should have registered himself as a local resident and imported and registered the car to Finland as well, including paying the car import tax.

I sold my first car to a Norwegian friend. It was a wreck so I sold it for the equivalent of 50 € (this was 1990). The friend then moved back to Oslo. She was asked to pay the equivalent of about 2000 € in car tax to register it in Norway. She gave it for scrap instead, of course.

Many of the top-selling cars on the list that is counted as electric are actually cars with a small battery and electric motor along with a traditional ICE. [0] The topsellers of "electric" cars are actually big cars like the VW Passat GTE and Volvo XC90, both of which will probably produce more emissions than smaller ICE-only vehicles through their lifetime (unless the owner is very concious about charging the battery all the time.)

</comment><comment><USER11> Having owned a Nissan LEAF for the last 2.5 years has been really great. Maintenance is almost nothing, the battery has held up fantastic and the car is a real pleasure to drive. Never having to stop for gas or get oil changes sounds like not a big deal but it is really nice. Every morning the LEAF has a full charge.

I think the Bolt and other 200+ mile range vehicles that are fairly affordable will help get more people into EVs. The other thing I think we need in the US is an affordable EV crossover. There's rumors of Nissan doing an EV Rogue. If they put a 60KWh battery in it, I think it would sell like gangbusters.

Obviously the last hurdle, and a serious one for many people, is that owning an EV without owning a house is really impractical in most places in the US. We need charging stations at apartment complexes, but that's one of those things that is unlikely to happen until EV ownership is widespread enough to make it a feature potential renters will care about.

<comment><USER12> I'd buy electric BMW X1. I don't get why BMW has to put an electric motor in something as ugly as i3. Why not put it in 3 series?

<comment><USER13> In Cambridge, MA, my perception is that the "ugly" of hybrids and full electrics is a feature/benefit due to the signaling effect.

The original Prius (that looked like a normal Toyota) sold less well than the second generation that was _conspicuously_ saving the environment.

Disclosure: I drive a LEAF and live in Cambridge. When my wife and I swapped cars for the day and I asked her how she liked the LEAF, her answer was, "I really liked the idea that I was saving pollution and that my friends could see me getting out of a LEAF."

Keep in mind, that Norway has abundant hydropower capacity. The wholesale settlement price for electricity out of Norway has fallen from 50 to 30 eurocents over the last 10 years for a variety of reasons such as Denmark's successful foray into offshore wind energy production.

As for Tesla, it made it to top-10 by new registrations in 2015:

<comment><USER18> EVs are a status symbol, either of wanting to protect the environment or project your pocket book, often at the same time.

Oslo is basically one big outdoor showroom for Tesla. Four of them passed me while I was waiting for a bus.

<comment><USER17> And yet, what is a status symbol is a product of the culture.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER19> Seems like much of the move to electric vehicles in Norway has been driven by tax incentives (vehicle purchase and fuel). Is the strategy to keep ramping up these incentives until the vast majority of cars are electric in 2025 then simply outlaw new ICE sales?

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER22> Can someone provide data showing how electric cars reduce emissions overall? Having something like this ready would help when discussing with people who are not sure of the benefits of EVs ("it still uses energy right?").

<comment><USER23> Charging at night time uses base load, so greater proportion of nuclear power.

Maximum efficieny of a gasoline engine is about 30%, versus 96% for an electric motor, though the battery does have less efficiency.

Electricity generated at a power plant using fossil fuels and steam turbines is more efficient than locally in an engine.

It's cheap to transport electricity over wires. Fuel still needs to be piped and trucked.

So even if your electric car was powered by fossil fuels at the power plant, it's still more efficient.

<comment><USER24> If one strives to reduce emissions from their EV, it would be better to use a charger at the workplace when plenty of solar energy is available during the day.

</comment></comment><comment><USER28> How many new power plants are planned? Or do many houses have their own photovoltaic.

Optimally, one has a house with 10+KW/H photovoltaic panels at home, an battery storage and an electric car. The battery storage is needed, as one is usually away at work when the sun is shining. And if you deliver the eletricity to the grid provider you get little money, so it would make sense to use the power yourself or store it to power up your car for next day. And of course your employer would need parking lots to power up electric cars.

(what would be not optimal to have huge coal/atomic power plants in the neighbourhood that produce the electricity for your car - then a petrol powered car would make more sense)

And if you own an electric car, do you own the battery pack too? Or do you have lease the power pack for something like 100$ per months plus all the costs electricity to recharge? - I would like to buy an electric car, and want to own the battery myself.

<comment><USER29> PV in Norway sounds like a bad joke. The northern parts get zero daylight hours for 2 weeks in midwinter.

<comment><USER9> The problem is that Oslo, like all the Nordics, gets more sun in the summer when it's less necessary, and practically none in the winter when energy is needed.

Norway has so much hydroelectric capacity that it doesn't matter, though.

<comment><USER30> > Norway has so much hydroelectric capacity that it doesn't matter, though.

We have substantial DC interconnects to countries that have little or no hydro so our prices are no not much different from the rest of Northern Europe. Any excess solar would be sold to Europe just like excess hydro is now. It could also be used to drive pumped storage to ensure that the reservoirs are full for the winter.

<comment><USER9> Sure, but it tends to be summer in Germany at the same time there's summer in Norway. Pumped storage is a nice thing when the nature allows it, and Norway has plenty of opportunity there.</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment>
