Remember Berlin has a latitude of 52.5°. That puts it far north of the 49th parallel border.
My friend is dumb and doesn’t know the significance of the 49th parallel. Can you explain it to them?
US/Canadian border from roughly Vancouver to Winnipeg. Berlin is further north than Saskatoon, Karlsruhe is on the 49th parallel. The lot of mainland Europe is north of Albuquerque. In fact much of Tunesia is north of Albuquerque. Miami is on about the same parallel as Bahrain, Orlando on the same as New Delhi.
True, but climate in Central Europe is different to the US-Canada border.
I'm thinking solar is hard.
Yeah, you get even more clouds.
Sure, but Munich is south of the 49th parallel. I'm not sure how amenable it is to solar down there, but surely there are some areas that would work, no?
If baveria wasn't one of the worst NIMBY hell holes in the (known by me) world.
