That’s always been the issue with events, it’s not driving around in circles that does it, it’s the air freight, sea freight, maintaining the courses and in the case of popular events - the sheer emmisions from travelling spectators.
 100,000 fans heading to a football match are a formidible use of energy.

In terms of the bridge - I’m not sure what the issue is

That would make sense in California if you were able to be 100% independent (off grid) in the city. So you could use them on a daily basis not only in an emergency that rarely happens.

There is a difference between what can be done and what will be done though. CA is gonna fuck it up because they always do.

Tesla also claims they are building a robot.

My thought exactly. We’re talking about a state that already has scheduled rolling blackouts. This isn’t just people who don’t understand how batteries function. It’s a complete lack of basic common sense among the political class.

Tesla also claims the Cybertruck exists.

CA will purchase more power from out of state like they always do. Especially after they force Diablo Canyon to close prematurely.

Certainly no environmental impacts from that plan.

I think they need to be at some sort of industrial center, not your home. As the batteries age their likely hood of doing something bad goes way up. They need to be some where that can handle it easily when one goes pear shaped. In general agreed though grid storage would be a great second life.

This is a good thing and would help in the shorter term but it’s not a permanent solution. Ultimately, every battery that’s made will still need to be dealt with someday. Obviously getting the most possible out of them is ideal but repurposing them doesn't stop them eventually degrading beyond usefulness. A way to…

Someone looking at payments only.

• Some high credit scorers get high-priced loans. While, on average, borrowers with low credit scores are offered the worst terms, about 21,000 borrowers with prime and super-prime credit scores, about 3 percent of the total borrowers in that group, received loans with APRs of 10 percent or greater—more than double the…

Yeah, I was going to say, she cemented her racing legacy as far as I’m concerned when she got back to it after that RA crash.

I’ve loved Legge since her time in Atlantics. She raced with the Polestar team out of NE Ohio.

She was always good to watch in ChampCar too. It’s worth looking up her crash at Road America. That was one of the most violet things ever and it’s amazing she barely had a scratch. I’ll always root for her to do well!

The problem isn’t so much the brightness, it’s the aim. Manufacturers have been able to keep bumping up the brightness because they have been able to better manage the cut-off at the beltline of the vehicle. Unfortunately, they are aimed using their own beltline and do not take into account the retinas of every…

It is way too easy to get your driver’s license in this country. We need laws that requires more skills behind the wheel and actually keep checking our driving skills well into old age. Just one day of driving around Florida will demonstrate the need for better driver training for new and older drivers. 

“But you’d be much better served if Toyota would get their shit together, finally bring out a brand new 4Runner and put a modern/hybrid drivetrain in it.”

99% rule for me. Buy that vehicle that does 99% of what you need it to. And for other 1%.. rent it.

In your case you like off-roading, but still need reliable daily driver.  You already did the right thing choosing a Toyota product.  But you’d be much better served if Toyota would get their shit together, finally bring…

How soon we forget Reagan and “deficits don’t matter”. And Trump’s tax cut (trillions with the long term ramifications) for the rich and corporations.
