People often vastly over estimate how much power solar panels can generate versus the power needed to actually propel a vehicle. Also, adding wind turbines would be counterproductive. Driving on the highway would spin the turbines faster, but where do you think that extra energy comes from? Your fuel economy would…

A great tip that I often give to friends who are looking at used cars is to check out carcomplaints.com. Let’s say a friend is considering buying a 2002 Ford Explorer. I don’t know much about that car, so we go to carcomplaints.com. We find out that this MY tends to have problems out the wazoo.

This is pretty reasonable, and I like this course of action better than other things I’ve heard so far.

This is a legitimate question, so please don’t cruicify me. I read his memo, and I didn’t see him mention anything about women being inherently less qualified or less intelligent to do the work (which is obviously untrue since women programmers dominated the early days of computing). The way that I read his memo was…

No kidding, it sounds like it has a sinus infection.

Exactly. There’s no such thing as “free energy”.

Alright, I’ll say it: The SNL sketch was way more funny. It’s unfortunate that it seems that Tig’s original sketch was copied. However, based on how drab and boring Tig’s sketch was, I’d say SNL was merely making a parody of it, in a much funnier fashion.

Please, tell me more about this white non-immigrant devil you speak of.

The Prius Prime is a full generation and a half behind what the Chevy Volts will do. Why spend $30,000 for a 2017 PHEV from Toyota when Chevy already made a better one in 2013 and can be had for $13,000 with 30k miles?

This is absolutely the correct answer. I own a 2013 Chevy Volt with a 12 mile commute. I make it to work and back every day hardly ever using the brakes (full stop sometimes in bad traffic, but slowing down is all done in “L” and regen mode), and no running ICE means less oil changes and better engine lifetime. I…

Top find. Probably the most obscure yet most appropriately relevant comment thus far.

This. And besides, I’m sure most of us who feel strongly about a “physical/reflexes” sort of driving test that would inherently reduce the number of elderly drivers on the road would also be supportive of increasing the level of quality public transportation in the US. Not all, but most, especially since it’s more…
