I’ll ignore the fact that this has been talked about for a decade and has not changed in America. Who knows. Maybe if hydrogen air travel and trucking start grooving then we will see green hydrogen hit 25% of the American market in a decade. However, as it relates to automobiles, the fact it isn’t close to being green…

I hate to break the news to you but, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, America’s hydrogen is over 95% grey. It is nice to talk about a spectrum of possible sources but in the good old US of A, we only make the dark stuff.

Well, other than all the methane used to create that hydrogen. But, hey - no emissions at the tailpipe, which is all that matters.

But how much better would they be selling if Musk wasn’t connected to them? I don’t think any of us know the answer, but it is realistic to think that it is still a significant drag on sales.

You are pretending there is a choice when, to achieve our climate goals, none exists. We have to be working on winding down all carbon emissions and find a way to pull carbon from the air or society as we know it today is fucked.

Well, on the bright side, at least you get free porn and cat videos now.

Yes, I preferred the days before Disney, NBC, CBS, Warner, and everyone else launched their own services and started hoarding their original content. Unfortunately, the only way Netflix could survive was by doing the same thing.

Isn’t that the job of the “Space Force”? Or are we saying when the little green aliens come to destroy us that the American armed forces are all going to say “hey, that’s NASA’s problem”.

Are you certain you are still paying only $8 per month? I thought they eliminated the Google Play Music discount amount a number of months ago.

The thing is — Google (mostly) doesn’t pay for music streaming with YouTube Music. They are leveraging the music videos already uploaded by the publishers, whereas Spotify and Apple Music have to pay a nominal amount for every song played. That does not mean Google is not paying — the whole YouTube empire is vastly…

Whoa! Wait a minute! Washington State licensing already assesses an additional EV tax on the annual license that amounts to driving ~14K miles per year to offset the loss in taxes. I know this because I have a Nissan Leaf that moves less than half that distance annually and it is a tough pill to swallow. So, are they…

Fiat Panda is the greatest: Mostly because it absolutely is but also partially because they are forbidden fruit in America.

Every 12 months Florida has over 3,700 people die in car crashes. Seems like the issue might be the people sitting in the automobile driver’s seat.

No doubt, Tesla’s pricing is causing issues for the rest of the EV market - and the Tesla used market.

Oh, don’t worry. They’ll replace them with Christmas decorations in September.

It could be argued we have unlimited (potential) energy when the sun is up but have not mastered storing it for the other half of the day. In theory, electrolysis to create hydrogen for fuel cells is an alternative to batteries (or pumping water, or raising weights, or ...) - except it is expensive, slow, not as…

1st Gear: Hydrogen for trucking (and airlines) makes sense environmentally on the surface - until you realize nearly all of the hydrogen is generated from fossil fuels, making it (essentially) no better than the diesel / kerosene it replaces. There is a large amount of “we build it and the problems will then be…

It makes sense for Zuck & Co since that is one more potential hole to trap people in the Meta garden. The concern I would have is whether the latest craze of charging providers that link to news articles in certain countries could turn this idea into a liability.

I think there is a new normal that has formed for “average” movies. Yes, the social aspect of going to the big screen still exists, but there is no denying that audiences are more selective and many simply refuse to return. Movies that are truly extraordinary (Spider-Verse) and ones that fans need to see (Mario) will…
