Your question:

Problems can be surmountable and still unnecessarily expensive and dangerous. The consuming reactor types produce far more dangerous outputs, so that’s not exactly a positive step even if the volume is reduced.

You asked “how many solar farms would we need to replace every nuclear reactor currently in use?”

Autonomous you say? well then I have a deal for you. Autonomous AND requires no fuel during flight.

The Inflation Reduction Act is doing just that. Billions for expanded EV charging, both home and public. Up to $100,000 per station for businesses.

Virginia Gov Youngkin being stupid gave away one of those plants.

Yeah it was confusing to me as well. I think he means something sort of like Tesla’s early strategy. Make the roadster to make money to make cheaper cars.

Siri:   tell me what isn’t in 90% of cars today and won’t be in any measurable percentage of EVs?

“NEVER SEEN WINTER” in a picture with snow on the ground

This is something, that done correctly, I would *like*. I don’t want to get a DUI. I’d also like to have 1 or 2 drinks while at a restaurant. Having this prevent unintentional over the, really low, limit would be quite handy.
