Better to let them rot on the vine than to sell them? That's an odd outlook.

Currently working on a bottle of their Neptunia.

Pretty dumb take here. Would it be better to let them rot on the vine? Wtf is the point of saving them if they can’t bsideshow.

As a community oriented bartender and chef working in capitalism, I agree with the sentiment here, but just wanted to point out the lack of understanding and what is truly insidious in this marketing campaign.  Hendricks probably did a good thing by cultivating these seeds and placing them in seed vaults. That will…

This is really reaching.  PS:  I love Hendrick’s gins. 

What if your grandma’s dying wish is to ride a horse that happens to be on the other side of the country, and you have just 36 hours to get it there? THEN WHAT!? Checkmate, EVs!

50mph!?! That’s for children. I forgot to mention I’ve drive through hurricanes, of course, with the bricks you mention.

Do you also encounter a 50mph headwind each way? You also forgot to include the one ton of bricks you are required to have in your vehicle at all times.

Same.  I was April (I think) and locked in 12 mos. at around $0.14 after paying less than $0.10 last year. The idea of $0.30 - 0.40/kwh makes my brain hurt.

I am also on green mountain, 36 months at 10.8cents+centerpoint fees. They are Crazy high here now also.

As someone who drives 700 miles each way every day, up a mountain in both directions, in the snow while also simultaneously towing, this really resonates with me. EVs will never work for anyone.

I used to pay for power and light specifically when I was in school and using Lubbock Power & Light. Now I am with Green Mountain Energy and it seems much cheaper.

Yeah, thats crazy to me that its that much cheaper there to us public ones. Level 2 public chargers were always significantly more expensive for me since the Volt only has a 3.6kW charger (other than a few 2019s) and Texas charges by time. The only time I really do it is at the zoo/park since parking is a nightmare.

I am in Houston and was lucky enough to renew in May. I did check and I am actually paying 15.0c/kWh, once you factor in delivery charges, for 100% wind. I would definitely be leaving my provider if their best plan was 22.9. I spent a few costly days on power to choose before I decided to renew with mine as they were…

theyve already done that. TFL drove a ram 2500 and a lightning towing up the ike gauntlet. here.  electric trucks def arent ready for long distance towing.  towing in town to get to the lake 30 miles away youll be fine.  much further tho and i wouldnt. 

mine used to be that cheap here in texas until the freeze. then governor hot wheels claimed he made the power producers promise to be good and keep our grid up and running no matter what. they did fuck all except double our rates. i checked my renewal and its 22.9c/kwh. im on a plan for 13.9 now thats about to run…

I resigned long ago to just let the stupid people in this country keep being stupid.

I hate all these apples to oranges EV vs. ICE comparisons. I want to see a breakdown of a diesel F-350 pulling 10,000 lbs vs. an EV truck pulling the same weight. I want to see the cost difference, the time to refuel/charge, the frequency of stopping, and how out of the way one must go off route to refuel/charge.

Well at the end of the day you’re paying for *energy* (which is what a kWh is), not power.

it depends on where you live I think. here in the SF bay area, at home we pay between $0.30 and $0.38/kwh... and its still cheaper than gas by a long shot. it’s about the equivalent of 80~90mpg where we live.
