Yeah, the batteries are for wind. There are some days when the wind barely blows at all. That's when electricity prices really spike.

Finland's power grid stats are open to the public. You can click the month view to see how the different power sources fluctuate.

Also fun fact: a lot of solar panels in Finland are mounted vertically to walls rather than rooftops. That's because we're so far north that the sun just hangs around the horizon rather than going directly overhead. You end up catching more sunlight pointing directly south.

New Hampshire is pretty great. That may be due to them having some of the lowest crime rates in the country to begin with.

>The DA (District Attorney) is elected, so they love to cite their tough-on-crime statistics.

Its the opposite nowadays. The current meta is to advertise yourself as light on crime. So you get to the point where Philadelphia has an open-air drug market filled with fentanyl, the DA was actually impeached for dereliction of duty by the Pennsylvania house of representatives, and Philadelphians STILL re-elected him with over 75% of the vote.

>Is Florida the worst state for HOA foreclosures?

>Florida ranks 1st of the states on HOA Spy for foreclosure suits brought by associations, with 10,296 of 14,168. The count depends on which courts are indexed in each state as well as on the associations, so it is a count of records, not a rate.

Florida is known for having the strongest "sunshine" laws in the country, that make government records transparent. That makes this statistic pretty useless.

Why bring the EU and "European laws" into this when talking about sovereignty? This was a decision by the Netherlands. We should be talking about Dutch laws.
