That like is the CURRENT grid, which has coal and natural gas turbine.

Coal is already lost the LCOE war to solar/wind. Electric companies lose money by not replacing coal plants with solar/wind.

The same is about to happen to natural gas. They will only be useful for load leveling.

The future grid will be far better…

They painted them mostly white to avoid that.

The argument is often brought up, what about all the mining needed for the batteries? I first want to ask about how the mining for batteries compares in scale to mining for everything else? And also, it looks as though mining asteroids is getting closer, so wouldn’t that negate much of the environment concerns around…

Driving at night without lights on, wow, they really are getting as good as the average human driver. 

It’s located in Tipton County and Tippin County, which straddles the Manson-Nixon Line.

It’s not just the “tiny fraction of” bad cops, it’s the overwhelming majority of chips who leap to protect bad cops from the consequences of their actions, and who in doing so, encourage that badness.

On my drive home last night, I noticed there were not the usual amount of people that just have to be in front of everyone else.

Of course gas prices will have to go up, otherwise the companies can’t maintain the record profits they’ve been making. 

Even with all the big deal made about lithium supply (which the raw materials aren’t from China anyways, it’s that it’s processed there into lithium hydroxide since it’s cheap), we only get it from other countries because it’s cheap there. We have plenty of lithium raw material supplies in the US, we just don’t…

I yeah, of course. the complexity of producing all our own resources would be absolutely tremendous. our planet is almost 100% dependent on global trade. (I would know.... I used to be in supply chain, and it’s messy...) and theres absolutely no way I’d be able to fully summarize it in a jalop comments section.

i still…

Everything NBC does to show the Olympics is the wrong decision. If there’s a choice to make, and one can be right and the other wrong, then NBC can be counted on to make the wrong one.

Let’s hope it’s only ‘mud’ from the garden and not from something else...

I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea in 2004 after my wife (of 3 years at the time) was noticing the worst symptoms including snoring that nearly ruined a few friendships, minor convulsions, long pauses in my breathing, etc. I was also falling asleep at my desk at work and was just sick and tired all the time.

Cars with 2 fuel types light on fire more than cars with 1 fuel type.

The idea that you’re actually recommending those Alienware failures is really something. It’s definitely peak Alienware design, which is not a good thing. This is a lesser model, but the complaints are valid throughout the entire line.

Not with all those stickers sponsoring the event on the side it is…

Bradley, I logged in after a long absence to point out that a Mach E still uses resistive heating just like your leaf and they both have the same efficiency 100%. The difference is proportion (bigger battery) and likely insulation.

Well how about that.  Damn you iPhone and your sneaky ways.

I always thought responsibility for gas production was best determined by “whoever smelt it, dealt it”.
