We have a muni/regional airport about a 1/2 mile away. God damned politicians decided they should start allowing commercial flights. Upwards of 30 737-800 flights a day.

Also, less than 0.5% of vehicles on the road isn’t exactly an epidemic.

Sure.  Starts with A....ends with Z.  About covers the, ahem, lot of them

that guy’s attorney knows full well.  He also knows he’s got a retainer already in the bank.   He’ll happily file everything this guy wants, b/c that retainer gets replenished.

As I said “ *Much* more complicated.”

sure but they *do* say when and where you can sue them ala arbitration via a hostile (to you) company/court.   *Much* more complicated.

Yeah, this is the exact thing the gov should be really pushing. ‘small’ in town cars with lower specs n range but enough to regular use. 100 miles a day isn’t regular use.

Indeed, bazookas for everyone who wants one!

The problem is also the natural gas scenario. If you let the choice be at the consumer level...it just stays nat gas because it’s there. If PHEVs exist, there’s no serious demand to install the infrastructure of EV chargers, b/c people don’t *have* to have it. People will just continually use the gas portion rather tha…

Do you fill up gas every day? No. You don’t need a charger at home for an EV. With charge times for 80% moving into 15 minute territory, it’s well on it’s way to not being the 3 hour charge time it once was.

PHEVs were the perfect solution...20 years ago. We’re past due to electrify everything. And EVs are the best worst option we have for transportation. Mass transit would be far far better but obvs that ain’t happening in the US.

The one minor issue is the water isn’t truly a contained loop, like a pipe system. The water flows through broken/cracked rock between the bore holes.

In what way is geothermal finite? The sun is technically finite as well. But neither is in question in any serious human time frame.

If you’re going to say it’s the brackets that are changing, it would seriously help to *include* the before values so people can see the changes.

Technically we have plenty of competition in the automotive space. Unfortunately it’s just to see who can jack prices the highest.

Actually might be a *relatively* slow leak. Given their weakened state, failure would be quicker and less than full explosive force I’d think.

Yeah, that’s a significant issue. We have the GOP who is wholly fascist at this point and not even fact based let alone science based. They’ll cancel everything moving towards renewable to prop up their Koch/climate denying funders.

Yeah, the simplistic concept is solar panels and a rain catch system = free hydrogen.  Not sure you can get the density you need for that in most places though.   Cities will need a distribution system, and if you’re building that, pipelines are a natural extension of it.  The chemistry and physics of hydrogen make it…
