Burning oil in a high efficiency turbine and sending it over wire is more efficient (50-60%) that putting it in a car (15%).
The sunk cost fallacy. So what if they spent money on it if it sucks now? You can never recover sunk costs you can only invest current capital in the best market. Move on.
Ironically GM came up with the Tesla style design after the EV1 and wanted it to have modular bodies so you could switch from coupe to van on the same frame/battery/engine platform. Unfortunately they stuck their head up their ass instead,
I think his point is that the Tesla got the highest score ever by consumer reports. They said it is the best cat they have ever driven bar none. So if you are considering a M5 or a S4 why would you by something the has a higher cost and less performance?
They resold the good ones of CL for $20.
That will never happen in the US. You know it and I know it. When battery swapping has been discussed before by Detroit the consensus was "go fuck yourselves, you can't tell us what to do." I am paraphrasing. Also 50% for believes that the government is incapable of building the federal highway system, putting men on the moon, or anything without fucking it up. It has to be private in the US due to our self reinforcing bullshit machine. Anyway it doesn't matter because this would work just on pure price cost accounting.
You are not buying the battery at all. You are renting the battery and buying the stored energy. Same way you rent a 500 gallon propane tank so they can sell you the propane.
But people want to FEEL! not "think".
This is the only realistic approach to over coming the issues of charging speed, temperature, and time. You can also then have economy, regular
How int he fuck did this get modded to 0? What possible part of this is wrong? The GAO estimated that space based solar paid for by the tax payers would in crease mean income to something like 130K? As to putting solar panels in places with less cloud cover wtf?
I don't think he would include Hitler he was a totalitarian not fascist.
That was his definition and goal the practical application in Italy is not important to the point, that the GOP is the heir to Mussolini's fascism.
As to left right that has nothing to do with my point. Furthermore it is such a fine point that it would be lost on 99% of the people on the planet. I see what you're talking about but for all intents and purposes when you get that far out of the end of the insanity bell curve you wrap back around to the other side; crazy is crazy.
I read the reason Cheney went crazy was he was reading the unfiltered intelligence reports, so any homeless guy who walked in off the street in Kabul and told the Americans he had a nuclear bomb got logged and sent up the chain, Usually it is discounted but Cheney wanted the raw shit.
Allen Dulles was their lawyer when they were charged with trading with the enemy. John Foster Dulles ( a man my grandfather described as the most stupid and evil man in America after having the displeasure of working with him ) created the school of thought that created both the neocons, the Iran crisis, and a great deal of the things that Al Qaeda sited as justification to go to war with us.
No it should be billed to everyone who gave more than $250 to Bush in the second election. You broke it you bought it. Divide the cost of the war across all the property value of the donors and have a one time property tax.
PURGE COMPLETE.
