This is all to produce a peak of 240k EVs per year. Production "starts" in 2028. It takes years for a factory to hit full production. Let's be generous and say 2030.
Honda sold 1,3 million vehicles in the US alone last year - let alone all of North America, including both Canada and Mexico. If all those EVs were just for the US it'd be 18% of their sales, but for all of North America, significantly less.
In short, Honda thinks that in 2030 only maybe 1/7th to 1/8th of its North American sales will be EVs. This is a very pessimistic game plan.
On a discussion board I ran, I started a long running thread "Is this real, or The Onion?" challenging people to decide whether a headline was fictional.
It was hard. On one occasion it was both a real one and an Onion parody.
We are in Heinlein's Crazy Years, except he didn't foresee how weird.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about, if I may invoke fiction vaguely, a machine made in the likeness of the human mind. I'm talking about what separates us from software, and how for some jobs it isn't much at all. I'm talking about how slavery never ended and the wealthy would like to replace all of us with very small shell scripts. And to them, that's actually viable. They don't understand any of the reasons why it isn't; even the ones that are that smart aren't that educated in that way. If they were, they couldn't do what they do simply because they could see it's unsustainable.
any other low talent industry. i doubt they grew up dreaming of working in a call centre, they probably did it for the money, like most people.
That's very much my point. They are already doing a shit job because it was all that was available. Now what are they supposed to get, a shittier job? It's hard to find one that pays, as backwards as that is.
you dont half chat some shit sometimes.
I'm not new, friend.
Please please please write a screed explaining how forcing Apple to use stuff that users want them to use and support things users want them to support with absolutely zero harm to other users who simply don't turn on any additional features which will be disabled by default is bad for consumers. And don't cheat and use AI, really lean into it.
Most people process fairly visually, some people especially so. You see the same set of logos presented over and over again alongside the logos you are already predisposed towards and they are associated in your mind.
Maybe there's actually an advantage to aphantasia...
If you cannot detect when things are changing then you are doomed to be confused by changes. Welcome to the rest of your life, where changes are going to keep coming faster and faster, like they have been doing for all of history.
If you had a brain, you'd know.
It's overreach to prevent them from regulation of anything but navigable waterways.
"I await their decision on EV producers and the huge quantity of dangerous particulates EV's spew into the atmosphere."
The only particulates that EVs spew into the atmosphere are tire dust, and not much more than other vehicles - or if LRR tires are used, less than most.
If you mean during production, or pollution from generating power to charge the vehicle, even if charged purely with coal the lifecycle emissions are lower by the time an EV hits 70k miles.
TL;DR: Bullshit.
It's pretty easy to offer consumers a great deal when you're willing to dump wheelbarrows of cash into a furnace to do so.
Oh noes politicians might have the power to prevent people from profiting from polluting our nation and planet unnecessarily, HOW TERRIBLE.
They ruled that how he was doing it was unconstitutional, not doing it at all. Got any facts to work with, or only things you don't understand and therefore shouldn't be pointing around?
Except that wasn't an example of overreach. Seasonal wetlands are still wetlands. Polluting them still affects both aquifers and the migratory waterfowl which use them.
Got any actual examples, not just more shitting on everything you don't care about, like other people?
