As I understand it, to do this amazing operation, the delicate robotics need to be shipped carefully to the patient’s hospital, then setup and thoroughly tested by an expert technician then packed and shipped back afterwards. Wouldn’t it be quicker, easier and cheaper to ship out a surgeon?
Plenty of chips behind the dashboard and under the bonnet , so don’t worry.
Robots discover the tragedy of the commons.

Reimbursing gas-fried plants for the cost of emission permits totally eliminates the point of having the EU's Emission Trading System in the first place. But I guess that's the goal.
You’d prefer detrain?
In March's Environmental and Resource Economics:

If you're arguing for public ownership (as in Scotland), then I'm not against that, but my distaste is for xenophobic attitudes to foreign ownership.
