> but at the same time shouldn’t raise (or especially demote) anyone for their skin color

thats literally what colorblindness is all about, recognizing people for their actions not their skin color.

colorism is just racism.

wind does not always blow nor can you always deploy a turbine and you clearly don't understand the ridiculous amount of space taken by the windmills to actually over provision.

Technically if you were to over provision, yes that would work, but the problem is more that you cant even do it because of multiple different reasons. It's easier to understand when you realize that we don't have more hydro because most of the good places already have a damn. The best place for mills is currently in Denmark where they are being deployed at sea, thats not most places.

Nuclear is the way to go for base power and the voltage adjustments can be done with windmills, solar and as a last resort with a coal/gas plant.

All Nordic countries have (Standardized) national level testing and also have tests that have to do with the local school. All of them are top performers when it comes to education.
Re:Sweden clears snow-covered walkways before roads (2018) on Friday January 21, 2022 @08:29AM (#30023186)
I linked the articles to point out that its not just me who is talking about this, and not just in one place.

I distinctly remember there being a massive increase in quantity of people needing hospital care but I didn't talk about it because I could not find the article for it, I also remember a local politician apologizing on implementing the reprioritization, but also could not find the article on it so left it un mentioned.

I'm pretty sure the entire thing in its original form was removed and re-evaluated after the disaster that was 2016 winter as Stockholm has not had these since, and I haven't seen any media Finnish, norwegian or swedish that would be gushing on how good the "gender neutral snowplowing" is, instead there was just silence as it was a terrible idea never to return.

The page you have linked talks in length about how and when things get cleared and is similar to Helsinki in that areas with "High capacity" aka lots of traffic get cleared first, which has very little in common if with the original video used in the article if you go and check it again, which does not seem to understand even basic logistics.

The video in the article is from 2014

They introduced the idea in 2015 in stockholm https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/6068658

and found out in 2016 that it was indeed a terrible idea

https://www.aftonbladet.se/ledare/a/e1e9dl/feministisk-snoro...

https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/det-ar-uppenbart-att-det-in...

For those that don't know swedish, the tittles of the articles are as follows:

"Gender equal snowplowing is just as bad for everyone" "Feminist snowplowing does not work in stockholm" "It's obvious its not working"

The chaos caused by the plowing was so large that it got into all of the nordic countries news.
