Chemtrail headline is clickbait and awful.  This needs to be fixed. 

Seconded the chemtrail eye roll. Please get that shitty headline changed. It’s airplane emissions, not chemtrails.

1st: Chemtrails, huh? ::eyeroll::

Numbers are numbers, they don’t lie, but there’s something missing in the torque curve of the Ecoboost. Maybe “low end torque” is a bad way to describe it, torque under 1000-1250RPM may be a better what to put it. We have the 2.7 in our Edge and it’s a ripper of an engine, but it’s useless under 1000RPM. I’ve never…

People also forget the ecoboosts aren’t making power magically, they’re high compression twin turbo engines stressing 6 cylinders as opposed to 8 cylinders running N/A.

I am not saying it doesn’t work, but I’d love to hear a technical explanation on this. It seems ass backwards, especially given the “light wheel” is normally the one in droop - which would be pulled UP by the sway.

I wouldn’t expect the V8 to increase the towing capacity. There are chassis limitations that a bigger engine doesn’t address.

This is one of the most idiotic articles ever posted on Jalopnik.

Get out of here with your logic. Trucks are bad and brown manual miata wagons are good!

Hauling loads of mulch? Horse manure? Tow ratings on vans are less than trucks, and contractors need to be able to tow equipment. For some contractors, you are correct, but not for everyone. It is just easier to throw dirty stuff in the bed of truck and hose it out. By the way, I have actually worked these types of…

You do realize that a lot of people actually work for a living and need trucks, right? That Kale salad you are eating was grown by a farmer that needed a truck. That structure you are living in was built by contractors that needed a truck. The internet you are using to post was installed by a person who was driving a…

Real question though: On a technological level, and on a social level, how are they going to meet these goals? At the moment, Americans seem to heavily prefer larger vehicles, and getting the “preferred” vehicles up to those standards seems like a significant engineering problem.

“Regardless, it’s worth juxtaposing the mere assertion to the rights Americans apparently do not have:...an affordable education...”

He’s sloppy, misses key points of information, and sometimes just gets stuff outright wrong. For some random shmuck at a party that might not be a big deal but he’s making these videos under the pretense of educating and informing people.

I’m not a fan of EE because he misses some details and gets them wrong. Being an expert in a field he talks about is frustrating because he gets some of the details wrong.  And most of his content is regurgitating information that is already out there.  Some of his personal experiments are kind of neat. 

Strong disagree.

Again, that’s “in state generation”... CA’s done a great job of hiding their coal (it’s a big source of embarrassment for LADWP) but they are kind of stuck. Most of the coal plants are out of state and out of mind. But they need them to keep the lights on. And there are droughts and the nuke plants are all closed or…

Lots to agree on here. I get that California wants to maintain high environmental standards but they’re repeatedly pulling the trigger on plans that seem half-baked. They even just decided to ban government purchasing of all brands that didn’t agree to their their conditions. That means all govt fleet cars will be…

There’s real merit to a single standard— Having “California be its own country” is getting old. You can hate Trump and still see the merit of a 50-state standard of behavior.

No bias in your comment, eh? You guys are all the same...
