It is a bit like when some chud from the US said that solar worked in places like Germany because of the weather, but wouldn’t work in Texas.

Found the source, it was about the US in general, not just Texas.

I don’t think many americans comprehend just how overcast Northern Europe is. Imagine half a continent that is less sunny than Seattle. Not even broaching the subject that the vast majority is in the summer, when the energy is needed the least.

“We’ll do a subscription model. You get reliable transportation anywhere at any time of day. Only $440 a month.”

“$440 a month? That’s crazy. Why would a train cost so much?”

“Oh, it would cost significantly less. That’s the average monthly cost of owning a car in the United States”
