Examples of twice in a Sentence

1. Grazia Vittadini:

   Every 15 years, the worldwide fleet doubles — that is a fantastic business case, the problem : twice as many emissions, twice as much noise, twice as much carbon fuel consumption... this is just not sustainable.

Switzerland, at $ 7,317 per capita, and Norway, at $ 6,187 per capita, were well above half the US level in 2018, according to OECD figures. Several other countries were above half more narrowly. Senator Sanders could correctly say the US spends more than twice the OECD average.

Trump's tax law and the very richSanders said.
