Good points. Recent high end laptops suffer from terrible heat throttling. Recently I've resorted to buying a cheap old server to do most my work on. The old machine is significantly faster than my company issued 2019 Macbook Pro due to having great big fans and heat sinks, despite being 1/6 the price. Next laptop I purchase will have a lower TDP CPU like you mention and basically just be a terminal to the server.

I agree that having a mix is good. Many times this occurs without intervention by having a mix of old and new (or renovated) buildings. An old city like Stockholm I imagine could have a large spectrum of buildings in various states of decay and thus prices. But on the other hand cities that are experiencing a rapid inflow of migration can quickly have their aged housing stock bought up and flipped. Many of these issues are exacerbated by restrictive planning and zoning regulations in city suburbs which prevent the higher density city life people desire to be replicated in new places.

According to the World Health Organization these are the cancer mortality statistics comparing US to Australia.

US

Number of deaths: 612,390

Crude rate: 185.0

ASR (World) per 100,000: 86.3

Cumulative risk (0-74): 0

Australia

Number of deaths: 48,236

Crude rate: 189.2

ASR (World) per 100,000: 83.3

Cumulative risk (0-74): 0

These numbers seem fairly close, while other countries have much larger differences. The Australia numbers for incidences are higher, perhaps indicating that they catch it earlier or their population suffers from a naturally higher incidence rate, but that does not equate to significantly lower mortality.

"Only about 30kg of raw material will be lost over the lifecycle of a lithium ion battery used in electric cars once recycling is taken into account, compared with 17,000 litres of oil, according to analysis by Transport & Environment (T&E) seen by the Guardian."

The key seems to be "once recycling is taken into account". Does anyone know if many batteries are currently being recycled? Is recycling economically viable without a technological leap?
