Basically, they make electricity with hydropower. They’re like 98% renewable.

This reminds me of a story I heard on NPR this week about what color emojis people use when giving thumbs up. The viewpoints and situations were quite diverse; Black people who use ones similar to their color for personal texts but yellow or white for professional; white people who would respond with darker colored…

I too have a punitive government in my state jacking up the registration fees for EVs.

That’s what the fifth paragraph was all about. Also, what does population size have to do with it other than there probably would be enough supply for the US to do it yet? Getting 84% of a population to buy EVs is an impressive feat whether it’s 6 million or 350 million people.

Any of the discussions regarding Norway’s oil exports aside, part of the reason why so many individuals & companies in Norway are buying EVs is because the nation is incentivizing it’s population to actually do so. Buyers of EVs receive all sorts of registration & tax breaks, key of which include no purchase/import…

You’re damn right that Norway should be proud of their fjords, Slartibartfast won an award for them!

Yet crude petroleum is Norway’s #1 export. I think the lesson here is don’t get high off your own supply. 

Wouldn’t be the first  time, Orin Hatch wanted to change the laws so Arnold could run.

Maybe instead of wasting time signing this stupid petition y’all can just line up to give Elon a tugger yourselves.

Biden was trying to urge the Big 3 American car companies to shift more towards EVs. Why he wouldn’t invite a company that’s already 100% EV is understandable.

More to the point, to what end? Who cares? There’s no actual political demand here, just to “acknowledge” Tesla as the best and most special boy.

Are you the satisfied Tesla owner staffer from the article? You sound like you want to sit out in the garden with Elon, put your hand on his back and slowly rub it in circles while laughing and telling him he doesn’t need that old coot Biden, he’s got all the friends he needs, maybe even his best friend sitting right…

I don’t know, I wouldn’t bet republican. I’d bet Libertarian, but that particular kind of Californian libertarian where they’re basically right in line with all the usual hard republican positions on everything except drugs and explicitly supporting the Republican party, rather than the more midwest style libertarian…

Biden has never tweeted about Elon Musk or Tesla, in addition to not publicly acknowledging that they exist.

‘while ignoring the elephant in the room’

Yeah, I too would be confused if someone I called names on Twitter didn’t want to publicly support me.

He’s straight up Ben Shapiro level, not merely Republican. He’s mentally ill if he thinks he gets any seat at the adult table.

Musk has to be a Republican. If there’s one thing the Repubs love, it’s “false equivalence”. So Musk is ignored (omigosh!), so he feels he has to go on the warpath—a page right out of (failed) Dictator Donald’s playbook.

Narcissist manchild. Overwhelming success isn’t enough, he needs praise on demand too.

This will be an unpopular opinion here...but cars have too much horsepower now.
