A new community in Arizona is being built that’s being called the first no-driving community built from the ground up in the country.

The worst thing about driving in the USA is that for the vast majority of the country you are forced to do it, and thus, forced to drive with people who would rather not be driving.

I had a friend do the same. He had to spend 4yrs in prison.

Probably doesn’t work as well when the answer is always your kid.

With a better carbon tax the new Tesla buyer would still be paying the tax on the carbon required to create the new car, the used car buyer would not.

Without any research, I suspect Kyrie is unvaccinated.

That’s pretty unfortunate, a walkable corner deli/market/hardware store was something that could be found in the suburbs before master planned communities took hold, but the amount of people old enough to remember that is quickly going down to 0.

IMO, the rural life on acres is pretty sweet, and being within walking distance of your needs is pretty sweet, it’s the in-between suburbs of 8000sqft lots and needing to take a car to go anywhere further than the mailbox that makes no sense in retrospect.

In my ‘07 328i air pressure from the AC is enough to set the seatbelt alarm off.

For Hydro, what I mean is that the places with water and lakes are not necessarily the places that need power, so that power has to travel to where it is needed, and you cant just build a new hydro plant in the middle of a city or suburb.

Only other one I can think of that I’ve done is that while I’m pushing my 4 yr old on a swing, rando 4 yr old will ask for a push. Even then, I’m doing a scan for the parent hoping for an approving nod.

I read that as 50% of new cars in 9 years, not a doubling each of the 9 years, 2^9 = 512% of all new cars!

Hydro has the same location and transmission problem as utility scale PV/wind though. I think the biggest thing we can do is much more local solar + storage, at the home or neighborhood level. Then you wont need as much transmission capacity and utilities become much more about distribution than generation. Solid…

I like to imagine that happened and when disembarking everybody holds the story. “No officer, I didn’t see anything”, “You were seated next to him”, “I didn’t see anything”.

and if you’re not a wealthy homeowner with a charger in your garage

The title had me wondering if the candidate was a snowflake living in Arizona, or a candidate from the actual town, Snowflake, Arizona.

It really is a terrible phrase. It almost always is referring to a false-equivalence, as it is here, but I guess that’s too many syllables.

I wouldn’t look at Iowa, but Minnesota and Michigan, lot of water up that way still.

As people flee the increasingly large parts of our country/world that are regularly on fire, I expect a steep rise in real estate prices in the mid-west and north east. 

A 401k is miles, miles, and miles better than a pension. That money in my 401k, its mine. It’s mine if I retire today, its mine if the company declares bankruptcy, its mine if I get fired today, its mine until I decide to spend it. Pension? corrupt d-bag funnels it away? gone. Company goes to bankruptcy? gone, or cut…
