But the cost of building this installation sounds like it would be prohibitive unless you're using slave labor and letting a lot of those slaves die.
So, you are saying that it is possible?

The price of electricity is pegged to the price of gas, the sooner they break that link the better
That implies that someone is raking in huge amounts of profit...
Climate change did zero percent of the damage. Instead, what has occurred is 100% the result of idiocy. So yes, it has something in common with climate change but it's not the same thing at all.
Who cares? The wealthy and powerful will always have water. Who cares what the proles go through? They are all useless anyways. If they weren't useless, they wouldn't be powerless. Right?
And that means you vote for politicians who'll do it. If you're American that means a Democrat.
Vote for a party that tries its best, even violating its own rules, to subdue its most likeable people? Vote for the party that tried to block AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Zohran Mamdani, and Bernie Sanders?
What the fuck are you smoking? There is no path forward in the current system. It is entirely corrupted and broken.
Have fun participating in it.
"This isn't who we are!" Sorry, that rings hollow now. It is, in fact, who you are.
And you would be wrong. It is a few very wealthy people manipulating the masses. It is who THEY are, not who WE are; although to be fair, we are finding out more and more who we are... and a surprisingly large number of folks are full of hate and selfishness. Regardless, the government does NOT represent the typical person.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks there is a faction that wants to intentionally erode the public's trust in government services. To dismantle a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. And replace it with a very different sort of government; one that eschews pluralism, reserves individual liberty to those with power(money), and establishes a rigid hierarchy with a unitary executive at the top.
Um, why does only the conspiracy theorist in you think that, when Project 2025 actually explains what you are seeing? It doesn't take a theory to understand what is going on, it merely takes reading comprehension. No shadowy conspiracy, it is written down for you to read. The project is working wonderfully, thank you for asking.
Meanwhile I have the entire Republican party telling me that fucking 15-year-old girls doesn't make you a pedophile. What a fucking world we're in.
Technically, that statement is true. Words have precise meanings and when we distort them for our own purposes, insanity rules. You can be a rapist without ever once having sex with a person. Is the word rape poorly defined or are we trying to cover other acts adjacent to rape with the same umbrella as the term rape? It is all intellectual dishonesty and people like you feel justified in the performance.
Trump is a sick man who used defenseless young women under the age of majority. Isn't that bad enough without distorting the truth? Or are you afraid of what you might find when you look at the truth?
Logic and rationality is not useful when trying to control a population; therefore, using logic and rationality to refute what you are being told is a fools errand. The ever-infamous "they" want your obedience, not your thought. AI is good enough for them.
The AI is not to solve your problems; rather, it is to solve Microsoft's problem of not having enough control over your wallet. Make no mistake, if you saved your credit card info in your web browser, the AI agent they will install will be able to use that and will purchase 'needed' 'services' for you without your input.
(weird, CAPTCHA is nexact, but it supposed to be inexact... is AI doing this?)
If they aren't willing to take on the risk why should the taxpayers?
Because taxpayer money is available and taxpayers themselves do not matter.
It has a guarantee to protect taxpayers money. How could it possibly end up costing us billions?
This is America my friend. What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. Perhaps you should read the Terms and Conditions a little more closely.
Did you even look at your link? Here is a quote from your "source": Wales â" 75% of households have â" or could have â" off-street parking and EV charging
Or could have... interesting.
Maybe don't rely on watching rando YT videos of police chases of teens on e-bikes
I said EUCs and e-scooters. They are real people going real places. The videos are not AI, so I can see with my own eyes what it looks like there. I have spent less than 24 hours in the UK, but what I saw with my own eyes also covers what I saw through the camera lens. The cop chases and such are random videos, but are also "real", not AI.
We can focus on the fact that lots of people won't be able to benefit from home charging off-street, or we can focus on the fact that substantially more people *will*.
"Will"? Really? I am from the USA, promises are utterly fucking worthless and to be derided as the lies they are. Let me know when there is sufficient infrastructure and we can talk again.
Ok, I understand again.
I would like for you to provide sources for the 70% off-street parking. I do not live in the UK; however, I have seen numerous videos of the UK: EUC riding and electric scooter riding has diminished a lot over the past year or two, but even still, police chases, etc provide lots of video evidence of what is going on in the UK... and I have to admit, almost every street with houses on it has cars parked on the side of the road. I guess that in the UK there are lots of people living in one house so all of the garages are filled and the streets are lined with parked cars. I get it... but, you have to provide a source for your claim because on its face, it is completely outrageous... which is why I misunderstood "off street parking".
Regardless of any of that, it is still true that many people can not charge "at home", which negates many of the benefits of having an electric vehicle.
So to demonstrate your sincerity in the discussion, list for us the specific skills you do want your tax dollars to teach in schools.
While I am not OP and probably not even in agreement with OP, I think this is a fantastic question: Reading, writing, arithmetic (of course the basics), unvarnished history, critical thinking, foundations of philosophy, advanced maths* (geometry, trigonometry, light calculus), English, a foreign language, athletics/gymnastics, art, music (with theory), and Civics/Government.
But; most important of all, none of this is based on age groups; rather, ability groups. Nobody should be artificially held back for the convenience of the System.
*advanced for children under 18
I do not understand your anger. I, personally, can not charge at home. Your numbers indicate that 70% of UK vehicles are parked out in the street, which corroborates my statement.
I am glad that some areas are trying to take this seriously and installing street charging; however, where I live, there is zero indication that anyone is even considering it; therefore, my statement about realizing that many people's needs are not being met. So why the hostility? What fake facts did I spew? It sucks that you viewed straight text as pomposity; however, I have no control over how other people interpret things.
Real computer scientists like having a computer on their desk, else how could they read their mail?
