Every automobile loses significant efficiency to wind resistance above 70, and it is especially important in EVs since they carry the power equivalent of as little as a single gallon of petrol. The original Nissan Leaf might get up to 105 miles when driving 45 MPH in 75 degree (f) weather without any AC or heat, but…

The State of Washington has been performing a similar study. They require license plates on the front and rear of an automobile. You will never guess which brands of automobile never have front license plates. However, this article missed one more: Tesla. They haven’t reached 100% douchery front-plate status yet, but…

Blasphemy! Next you’ll be telling me that the announcers in the Super Bowl don’t play football anymore!

Here is an article from the Wapo:

Depends on where you are, but your point is a good one given Deutschland’s destruction of nuclear power and filling in most of the gaps with fossil fuels.

I agree and would add Chromium (Chrome OS) to the list of options for those that are really only using their computer for web / cloud activities.

Counterpoint: Only other people have to see the ugliness when you’re the one behind the wheel.

The news about impeachment makes him look weak since it was something that happened to him that he could not control. Playing with his military toys makes him feel like a big meanie boy, which is a narrative he much prefers.

“Hey, you stupid bratty kids! Get out there and get that f’n snow off my car!”

Moore didn’t support Hillary in the primaries, but he voted for her in the general election and was emailing his subscribers to get out there and make noise for Hillary because he was concerned Trump was going to win.

Clearly you are not a real Trekkie, Jason. There were no brooms in stardate 41000. Duh!

Who knows .. Maybe this will be the next Rocky Horror with people dressing up in cat costumes to go toss kitty litter and kibble from the seats.

Well, since Ford now just makes the same thing everyone else does*, the question is whether we really need Ford anymore.

To be fair, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Crossover / SUV vehicles get worse gas mileage based on two issues: They are heavier and have worse aerodynamics. Yes, they aren’t much worse because they aren’t much heavier and their wind-splitting capabilities have improved, but the “real world” mileage on a bigger…

Natural gas makes economic sense --- environmentally, not so much. But I do agree with you, at least in the short term, that switching to methane would be a good transition option.

Most hydrogen is created with fossil fuels. Yes, the stations in California typically use electrolysis, but that requires considerable electricity and I have yet to see any feasible way they could get the energy output at a truck stop that would be enough to supply the quantity necessary for a fleet of trucks. That…

Status quo on China is not tenable and I have not read anything in the U.S. that paints China as innocent, though perhaps I am missing some news stories. Whether it is intellectual theft, trade with North Korea and Iran, the Muslim concentration camps, what they are doing in Tibet, Hong Kong, South China Sea, etc. —…
