If you replaced some diesel trucks with electric trucks and they could accept 1MW when they charge then each reactor could supply charging for 20 trucks. The whole $19 billion deal for 34 reactors wouldn't even cover 5% electrification of the the truck depots in the Lehigh Valley of PA

I like to drive straight in to my garage. The electric supply comes from the house side, not the garage door side. I placed a charger 3/4 of the way down the wall and I had to run conduit and expensive electric cable that could handle 60 amps all that distance. It would have been a less expensive install and there would be less conduit visible if I had a charger mounted on the interior wall of the garage and a front charging port.

No. They should be in the front. Did you ever see people park at superchargers? It is much easier to drive straight in and get an accurate positioning. If you are trailering you can not back in. This alone should be a deal breaker.

It seems they would have to sell 8 of them for every model 3 Tesla sells to have the same sales revenue. I could see a market for those cars in a large, gated senior community in Florida. I wouldn't want to be in one of them going 80mph down the highway next to a tandem tractor trailer.

" As long as the heat required for this step was CO2 negative" The first thing I thought. I hope they aren't cranking up a coal fired electric plant to heat the limestone!

If they have good evidence of a hospital being hit by one of the ransomeware attacks I hope that the people involved are arrested, convicted and placed in prison for the rest of their lives. These kinds of computer attacks pose a serious risk to hospitalized people and they demand a harsh punishment.

Yes! One hundred percent. Cut them off this afternoon!

I respect your decision to study COBOL. It's still out there and your skills will be in demand for a while.

I'm surprised they had that many students who wanted to study in that field after the government said that the industry is going away. I wonder how many students there are studying in the field of buggy whip manufacturing?

Who wants to place bets on which comes first: Tesla full self driving cars or a working power plant using fusion to supply electricity to the grid?

I have an S22 and I was curious if the AT&T network was better where I often travel. For $2 + $11 I got to try out a new provider that uses AT&T. It was easy to install and activate the eSIM. I did not have to contact Verizon. I found out there were some places where AT&T GSM is better but I found it awkward to switch texting until Android 13. Now it is quite easy to pick which SIM I want to use.

100% agree! I don't own a private plane but I do own a private car. That makes me richer than 90% (I'm guessing) of people on the planet. I would be very unhappy if people were tracking and posting wherever I went in my car.

According to this, https://www.eia.gov/internatio... 55% is from coal and 19% from oil. Having an EV is much more environmentally helpful in countries that have nuclear, hydroelectric, wind or solar sources for electricity.

I agree completely! The planes cost $200,000,000. They might fly 2 trips a day with 75 passengers each. They might be in service 350 days per year. That's 52,500 tickets sold each year to cover the interest and depreciation on a $200,000,000 plane. Add maintenance and fuel and I don't see how you are getting on a MIA to LHR flight for under $10,000

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... PFOA has a boiling point of 372F. I understand how this could be in ground water but how much could possibly be in clouds falling as rain?
