In Amsterdam and Paris, this is already proving successful. Select bus stops and terminals are embedded with solar panels that collect energy and store it in batteries below the surface. As an electric bus pulls into the stop to pick up passengers, it’s able to draw power from the embedded system and top up its charge without needing to return to the central depot. A single charging point can produce 15 to 20 kilowatt-hours per day, enough to power a bus for several kilometers.

I'm begging anyone who reads this message, please give a read to this article
Key findings include:
- Significant mental health improvement in adolescents undergoing gender-affirming care, including reductions in depression, anxiety, suicidality, and eating disorders.
- Improved quality of life and self-image reported by TGNB youth after starting hormone therapy.
- Low rates of regret or treatment discontinuation, especially when care is delivered through comprehensive, multidisciplinary teams.
- No serious long-term health risks found in monitored populations receiving hormone therapy, including studies with follow-ups as long as 40 years.
- The authors conclude that there is more evidence supporting gender-affirming care than there is for many high-risk new drugs approved for children in the U.S., including recent gene therapies.
