Too costly and they tend to catch fire, also needs a big footprint for very little energy. You're much better off storing water but that is something California already has trouble with so unlikely to be viable. There is a reason battery banks in eg. datacenter only provide 15s of power, despite having the same footprint as the generator.

Yes, they show you non-EV tires, but as you said, the load rating is different because the vehicle is different, the rubber is harder etc etc. look up the difference before stating something you know nothing about.

240V @ 80A for a single circuit is the problem - 100A is the house breaker in many rural places. 200A is an average home and you haven't electrified everything. I have a fully electrified double home with now 400A worth of service and I don't have enough, especially not in winter when the heat pump doesn't work.

The Model 3 is a small sedan for $50k, I am driving an SUV or family sedan for half that price. A lot of people's electric panels are not in the garage, mine is literally on the other side of the house. Most people electrical panel's are central to their home, whereas garages are on the edges or more often around here, detached. Garages attached to home are more expensive for builders (there are extra code requirements) and electrical panels are centrally located for the exact same reason, cost.

Depends on the records you take, there are older records, they are intermittent but demonstrate much higher temperatures in the past as well, the problem is that none of the equipment was calibrated to modern standards nor are the records continuous so it masks the peaks and valleys into an average with large error margins.

Sure is, we have mitigated climate related deaths everywhere in the world. Mostly cold was the culprit in the past but also heat is no longer a concern for most of the world.

Yes, but by then Biden will be at least 3-7 years out of office and it's not 'his problem' anymore whether Solyndra actually did anything.

Most of them are actually relying on coal, gas and nuclear reactors. The selling of carbon credits to China for solar energy is a scam, it does not actually make your energy come from solar panels, otherwise the AI datacenters would be shutting down at night.

Never had it happen, don't live in a shit place like California or NYC. Also, note that you can regulate EV to have similar requirements by mandating zero-emission battery and no-slave labor components.

Not everyone can afford an A4 Quattro or Michelin tires for that matter. The tires you selected are the ICE variant, the EV one is $565.00 (at least around here) without installation. As a comparison, I got a set of Goodyears with the same ratings for ~$220 and if I want to go cheap, I can get $120-180 easy on my ICE. If you don't go with EV tires, they will wear out even faster and they also put a big dent in your 'efficiency'.

Fuel costs - do you include time? Do you include the $150/month upcharge to upgrade from 'residential' to 'commercial' power? The Tesla Cybertruck goes 1-2h between charges as does a Model 3 in the cold or when the road isn't perfectly flat. Superchargers aren't everywhere and even then they take lots of time.

If I buy a $75-150k vehicle and then another $5-25k for home electric renovations, I expect a bit better. I get a vehicle for $25k, maintenance is $10k over 10-15 years, it carries my stuff and my kids, fuel costs are $2400/year give or take a few hundred. I still barely get to the $50k Tesla Model 3 AWD.

You have never gone to Africa I see. About 90% of payments in Africa's small business commerce are peer-to-peer mobile payments (which includes everything from bank apps to Bitcoin). You think they all sit around with the choice of shiny pebbles or someone in the village has a hoard of US dollars? Africa accounts for 70% of the world's P2P bank payment market and nearly 10% of the global $3T crypto market.

To put it in perspective, the number of Africans using Bitcoins on a daily basis is roughly the same ratio as number of Americans using American Express. It's not a huge percentage, but it is significant enough and still is order of magnitudes larger as share than anywhere else in the world.

You confused me with your statement about hearing a distinct difference. There are laser pickups today, there are pressed records that are metal such as gold, platinum etc.

There is a distinct difference in the audio because despite all the engineering that goes into it, large things that spin around are going to be wobbly.

Amend? Their constitutions in many cases already have state sponsored religions. Norway for example funds religious entities on an annual basis. Again, there is currently a religious privilege in the EU, not a constitutional right, big difference.

Can you conclusively link human exposure to non-industrial levels of this stuff (I'm not talking being exposed as a worker in a factory to some of the product needed to make them) to cancer?

Biden is now also trotting out Trumps immigration and economic policy and trying to sell it as his own.

This was well publicized, either you are very lazy or a useful idiot.

25c is the retail cost when there is demand, when there is no demand, the energy company has to do âoesomethingâ so the geothermal plant doesnâ(TM)t blow up.

But the fact they can pay for the âoeunusedâ energy means they can lower the price elsewhere. Even if it is 5c which is well under the break even point for crypto mining, that is money they can use to offset the cost, thereby providing more people with energy which drives down cost etc.
