An EV charged even from a fossil fuel power plant still emits fewer GHGs per mile traveled than a gas-powered car. That’s a fact. So they are better for the environment NOW, and will only get better as the grid weens itself off fossil fuels in the future. 

It isn’t the EPA’s job to tell auto manufacturers how to meet the targets. They set the targets based on what is necessary to protect human life and the environment.

Tanks are meant for one thing: put direct fire on things, from static defenses to other tanks. It’s a hunter-kill. It is also designed to take a hit from another tank and keep on working. They’re guns are usually 120mm.

Dianne Feinstein’s Senate campaign was against another Democrat. California has “jungle primaries.” 

It’s a rare, and nice feeling, to say “well I really prefer candidate A but I think candidate B will do a swell job on most things, too.”

What fuckery could the Republicans have pulled when the Democrats controlled the Senate? Biden literally just appointed a Supreme Court justice when Democrats controlled the Senate. 

It’s going to be a real interesting primary in CA! Lots of good choices.

Why would you give RBG the benefit of the doubt either? It was clear when Obama was President and Democrats had control of the Senate that she should retire. Her arrogance and self-centeredness is responsible for ending Roe v. Wade. An unfortunate and sad, but true, legacy.

Nah, she’s a pretty shameless economic populist. Schiff is the better choice. 

She has had dementia for years and everyone is too chicken-shit to say anything to her. But I blame CA voters for re-electing her despite her obvious lack of mental acuity. 

Breaking the law and ignoring court orders are two different things. There were court cases that challenged his breaking of the Emoluments clause. I think they were all dismissed. That’s alleged law-breaking.

Trump didn’t. If Ron DeSantis wants to destroy this country, he can try; he’ll fail though.

What I really want to know is why this Buick Encore is not a Chevy Bolt EUV with a nicer interior and better sound deadening.

Exactly. Which are fragile. Which is why loose talk about the executive ignoring court orders is hyper-dangerous. 

They don’t have laws that constrain their chief executive, no. Because they personally get to decide which laws to follow and which to ignore, and court orders do not bind them. Which is apparently the world you want to live in. 

I like the idea of the MGPe; its a really good indicator of just how much more efficiently EVs turn stored energy into motion. Like, its really amazing to understand that an F-150 Lightning can travel 68 miles on the same potential energy as one gallon of gas; that is, its as efficient with energy as a hyper-miling…

I’m 100% in favor of amending the Constitution. That’s a good thing, and should be very common and frequent!

“The polity can have a little taste of dictatorship, as a treat.”

Yes, she’ll likely not be rich after divorcing him. That she isn’t divorcing him means she values being rich more than not being married to a rapist.

Yes, your policy solution, in which the President picks and choses what laws to apply and which to ignore based on his own personal whims, backed up with the US military, is the literal definition of a dictatorship: “I can do what I want, ignoring the courts when it suits me, and if you disagree I’ll kill you.”
