Agreed, all we can hope for is to have those bad drivers be on different roads than us.  Unfortunately they are too pervasive to avoid, which is even more reason to pay attention and have supplemental safety features watching your 6.

Don’t tell those “already perfect” drivers any of that, they will scream out of their brown manual wagon that technology will never help them drive!

Neutral: I use them only as a “second pair of eyes”. I drive like my life and others are on the line, because they really are. Have the active safety equipment is fine, but it doesn’t ever replace a driver’s attention. Having it there is helpful as we are humans and can’t pay attention to everything all the time.

Yup, another example is the Subaru Forester and Outback.  Pretty much identical cubic inches of interior - one’s longer and one’s taller.  Both get high 20's fuel economy, probably more due to the drag of the all wheel drive or else they could probably push both into the 30's.

True, except for every word of your comment. The engineers didn’t hillbilly raise the rod like your comment suggests. Body is the same yes, but the suspension system is completely different all the way to the wheel bearings. Have 2 Crosstreks and an Impreza in the family, no alignment issues ever - even after the wife…

I know, it seems that everyone forgot that old GM concept - a concept that should be in production today!

You do realize that California is one of the states that has net money flow TO the US government right?  Like one of the biggest, their GDP is bigger than all of Britain.  They basically support the federal budget for the entire Southeast states.

Correct, a majority of innovator companies fail with a good idea but with inexperience in the production market. The ones that can take that innovation and perfect is always going to be the winner.

Between investments in both Rivian and VW electric partnership this is the correct take.

It is somewhat split. I have seen rentals have utilities both included and separate. With single-family homes that you most likely have they tend to be on the renter. With apartments, duplexes, or old farm houses with multiple apartments within it tends to be included as it’s just hard to split bills or more expensive…

In my area, there is a grassroots effort to make solar energy more viable, headed by a cray computer engineer. The website is solarypsi.org . Google even did an add with him years ago promoting Google search or some thing.

Agreed, although a fair percentage of solar electricity owners do in fact have solar water heaters as well - just not often talked about. Just to move more people to this would be awesome.

But most rich are Trump supporters.

So, better!

Your Hydrogen was not under pressure, you were just waiting for diffusion to take place with heavier gas molecules to displace H2.  Highly pressurized H2 in tanks is a different monster entirely.  The only minor success they had was to make hydrogen-bonding keep it around by putting chicken feathers into the tank.

I never thought about that, but yes you are probably right!  

There were a few studies out the past 3 years that all it takes is 10% of the market to turn EV for gasoline price pressure to plummet for the infrastructure we have if they continue business as usual - like the coal industry did a while back. They would just hemorrhage money until the market was controlled.

Jay Leno is a true car NERD, he isn’t trying to impress anybody. All those steam-powered and century old electric cars, those don’t really impress many people except maybe for their strangeness. You can dive into whatever you enjoy, he likes cars but doesn’t like or have time to wrench on them - so he hires a team to…

Very well done!  I don’t think he will listen or agree, but well done!

2 things... How often are you in that much of a hurry to drive straight from Austin to Chicago without stopping except necessary fillups?
