Twin towns

Noventa Padovana is twinned with:

gollark: Or batteries, which have their own problems.
gollark: The panels are really energy-intensive to produce anyway, degrade after 20 years, and you need uncool fossil-fuel plants to cover for the solar panels when they don't produce, which is often.

gollark: Solar is somewhat uncool in my opinion.
gollark: I'm very slowly writing a blog post for my blog (which has an amazing *six posts*) on the importance of people having access to strong encryption, but writing is hard.
