I feel this view is very localized and short term . Yes, Airbnb has an effect (potential big) on some of the people moving to cities. BUT the Airbnb effect maybe be big in some areas but definitely insignificant in other areas. My village in Peloponnese has absolutely NO Airbnb . Almost everybody have moved to the cities. There are 6 people that live in the village the whole time. I believe all of them are above 60.

No. You need to know your current location. Then you can easily extrapolate where the destination is.

  What if the new government also imply that you have to change our religion? What if the new government does not believe in "free enterprise" and will TELL you which company you will work for. What if the new government change the sports teams you like? What if the new government change the language you speak. 

  See for the example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace#Timeline  . Notice how the official language suddenly changes when a new "government" from a different nation take over. Are you so sure that the French Canadians will not have a problem with suddenly English potentially been the official language?

IN https://blog.gridstatus.io/caiso-beats-the-heat/ , there is a very interesting quote. "The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has also been lauded for its growth in storage, but when put into perspective of load, the gap remains quite large. Comparing all-time peak load and peak storage discharge (non-coincident), ERCOT's battery fleet would have met less than 5% of demand, while CAISO's battery fleet would have met about 16%, more than triple the value in Texas."

Absolute numbers are not the right metric when one of the states doesn't care about efficiency and decides to generate more and more electricity. Then absolute number are huge but percentages of renewal are very low.
