That is not the problem. Politicians should often be forward-thinking. In the US, failure to plan more than 2 years ahead is a huge detriment to infrastructure funding. Of course, central long-term planning à la USSR that does not consider market developments is an example of how wrong the opposite extreme can go.

An early version of the Petřín ropeway in Prague used to contain tanks in both cars. The upper one would be filled with sewage collected rainwater from the city’s hilltop quarter and the energy of the descent was used to pull the other car up. Additionally, the way up cost twice as much so there was an incentive to ascend on foot, which was about as fast despite the incline.

in the description. Meanwhile, that fat dude from Vrchlabí jumped into a moving bucket of one that is faster, 2.5x longer, at deadly height, and his only plan of getting down safely was a mattress. He acknowledged how illegal and dangerous it is and yet publishes the video with his full name.
Just accept it, Tom Scott was being way more cautious.
I hope OpenTTD devs consider adding gravity-based electric transportation of heavy loads as an option
Not very smart that they waste all that energy in mechanical brakes. See my comment (the one with the picture) for a way bigger and electricity-generating ropeway, including a video of a guy less squeamish than Tom Scott riding most of the 45-minute way up.
Amateurs.
The 1963 Černý Důl – Kunčice nad Labem aerial ropeway is over 8 km (5 mi) long, over 30 m high in places and carries 135 tons of limestone every hour from a quarry to the nearest train station. Its 120kW 3-phase synchronous motor requires power for a few minutes at the start and end of each day when most of the 800kg-capacity trolleys are empty, and spends most of the shift generating mains electricity and acting as a speed governor. Unlike the EV, it is fully autonomous most of the way, only 5 people are required to operate it. (Loading, unloading and timed dispatching is automatic, arriving/leaving carts just need to be checked; a safety latch has to be manually dis/engaged on trolleys passing the check.) The quarry will continue operation as long as it pays off, then the ropeway will be scrapped (projected 2033). A dude illegally rode the way up on it somewhat recently. He could have fallen to his death if he pulled the latch.
Both come from The Very Pulse of the Machine, a beautiful episode of Netflix’s Love, Death and Robots. All episodes are effectively unrelated so you can watch in any order. The upper one is from the first minute. Nobody seems to have uploaded it above FullHD but you can just pirate the episode in 4K and snapshot any frame you want.
Of course, what they call “camera” might be a high-res spectrometer, plus there may be stacking, tiling, digital optics correction etc. However, the camera did capture a visible-light picture so it has a “natural” interpretation (you can convert it into a “human POV”) and this is not that. It probably does not even convey extra information (such as exact wavelengths our cones cannot distinguish) so it’s akin to just using a solarization filter on a normal color CMOS camera photo.
Germany?
Hate to break it to you but from what I can tell this was captured with JunoCam, a visible-light camera. So an “unaltered” version would have familiar colors, and this is already edited.

Probably poorly regulated social media. If Mr Beast can publish uncritical lottery-related videos on YouTube, I can’t fathom what kids on TikTok are being fed.

Also, half of the QR code is filler (notice the repeating pattern), it could have been much smaller.

“Trust me, you just need to buy more compute for your car. We’ll figure out reliable driving by sight someday.”
There is just one jack’o’lantern left (it’s probably a more practical shape) so yes, people seem to buy them at different rates.
I don’t mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

And yes, we use switches but the lower network layers abstract that away and a LAN is still like a single bus on the network layer and up.
I know, this one is shorter and has mechanical brakes. Not as great but I imagine the Czech one, one of the largest in Europe, has very few English-language sources that could have pointed it out to him. I don’t know whether the Claughton one cannot be ridden or Tom is just squeamish about safety (see description) but the Černý Důl one definitely can, that’s how they do routine inspections.
