Fake news promoted by advocates of federal over state rights. Texas has a outside grid interconnect, but was receiving no power from it because they were under strain as well and had nothing to spare since the storm was so massive. In addition, Texas interconnect is such a large state and...

Respectfully disagree. Billions were being invested in lithium technology well before it was used in vehicles, without any government interference whatsoever, because battery technologies are always useful and a huge selling point in laptops, tablets, phones, power tools, landscaping...

Hydrogen is more like a battery, not a power source like fossil fuel. Usually you need a powerplant to produce electricity to make hydrogen.

The EV market is a niche market, even w/ subsidies, making up only 2% of new vehicle sales and those batteries would be put to better use distributed into more vehicles than consolidated into so few as pure luxury EVs. Frankly, I also think its a horrible regressive taxation, as studies have...

Yeah, I hear ya, the thought process is that it seems around here its the highways that are the most dangerous, and the suburbs not quite as bad. Eventually we hope to move up to North Carolina with family and can live much more rural, but we have to make due with big city Houston suburbs for...

Its not my taxes, so I guess it makes no difference to me what Japan does, but I would care about what happens here. BTW, to clarify, I don't think electric busses are a good idea either, and a waste of limited resources. Since batteries are currently expensive and low density which becomes...

A common sight because its an economically viable solution that private investors have brought to market, or because the government is forcing its adoption directly or through massive subsidy/tax credits? That's the issue IMO. Even with the billions upon billions that governments keep...

Compressed hydrogen gas. There was no infrastructure to replace when gasoline came into use in the early 1900s. Steamers were too expensive and labor intensive to ever achieve mass adoption, and the first mass adopted vehicles like the Model-T were gasoline. To completely scrap an existing...

How fast did they get back to you? We were looking at Aventon but some people on Reddit were saying that they respond instantly if its something simple, but as soon as its a warranty issue its taking forever to respond and that has me worried.

I don't know, I think hydrogen can be pronounced dead. Hydrogen is a revolutionary energy storage system and electric is an evolutionary one, and history has shown us that evolutionary changes almost always win. Revolutionary ones always suffer from the chicken and egg problem, where its not...

Oh, were you not being sarcastic with the "thanks for the sane discussion" implying I'm insane? Maybe I read that wrong, my bad. It can be difficult to detect sarcasm. I do know Stout basically told me to go kill myself by intentionally attracting bears, lol!

Good for you to admitting to irrational fears. Hopefully this bit of interaction with me can slowly habituate you and help you overcome your phobia that we're out to getcha. Has anyone written any books about how to spot a Republican on the trails and how to behave to stay safe? Play CNN from...

Never mind all the affiliate links, lol! South Park did an episode on this a while back, about how advertisements are so often now being disguised as news. At least before they were honest about what was a commercial break or advertisement.

I'm glad you think her death was very responsible, but I'd wager that the growling huge 600 pound creature tearing through the tent and mauling the woman was not the milkman. C'mon now. You can, but explain to me as you would a child why pointing and shooting a pistol is more difficult under...

Almost anyone of average intelligence can be taught to use a simple semiautomatic passive safety like a Glock within a weekend course. My nephew is 10 and shoots like a champ. Sharp shooting is not required or even recommended in modern training, quantity shooting is what is taught now that you...

They mostly come out at night, mostly...

Oh yeah for sure, they have bear bells or bring me I talk non-stop. That cop I mentioned before BTW, that was his issue, he was alone 75 yards from his friend and surprised a mother grizzly with her cubs by probably being too quiet. This is a full news article about it. Mad props to the...

Our children are too coddled today and could use some toughing up. "That bear was talking smack about you to the other kids. C'mon Connor, get in there! Here's a spoon to defend yourself with." I imagine 5-days a week for anyone in the cattle/dairy industry.

LOL, actually with the market the way it is because of COVID we actually just took advantage and already did the downsizing of firearms and a lot of ammunition as well, as prices are crazy. He sold almost everything and we simplified and only have 9mm and 556 left consisting of two rifles, two...

And more people probably die in their bathtubs than are killed by tiger sharks just because of frequency of interaction. Personally, I feel safer taking a bubble bath at home than swimming with tiger sharks, but that's just me.
