You seem to be math challenged, sparky.

California has 15,700 MWh of battery capacity but uses 460,000 MWh per day. Puny fraction capable of being stored.

I'm retired now but was a nuke power plant scheduler.

you're funny. It is advancing civilization to let jobs that can be done by machines, to be done by machines. If you want to pound your laundry on rocks no one is stopping you.

USA is still at the forefront of biotech, ai, advanced digital chips, space exploration

But, seems we have more useless whiners like you now.

83 GWh for entire USA is not "kicking ass", that is puny. Maybe someday but that day is not today.

My ICE vehicle takes 4 minutes to "charge" and will go 530 miles. Your overpriced toy can't.

You clearly are ignorant of reality. Without looking it up, what percent of civlizations power is met by fossil fuel currently?

You are the clown.

you don't know the meaning of what you linked, it doesn't rebut the article at all

supremacy in what realm? carbon pollution, making 2.5 times that but with only twice the power generation for four times as many people? manufacturing mostly low quality crap?

When I was a kid, we too had stupid things. Besides elephant jokes (how many elephants can you fit in a VW Beetle? Five -- two in the front, two in the back, and one in the glove box), the dumbest joke I remember was to run up to a friend fast and breathless and demand "Guess what!" as if you'd seen a UFO or fire engine run by, then shout "Langendorf bread, that's what!" and run away cackling like Kamala Harris.

It's a legal blog with a legal perspective.

i can "charge" my Honda at the gas station in less than four minutes and drive 530 miles. The fossils wait in line at the chargers because they think that's how things should be. In the cold snaps there are "dead robots" in line... here in midwest gets colder than the scandanavian big cities.

Buying anything online requires knowing the market price at alternate sites and brick &mortar stores. No one with a brain is being played. I get great deals on Amazon, or the strip mall specialty stores, or eBay, or indoor mall...

shop and compare! have a list and wait for the bargains

linked article claims 10 minute charge time which will make lines shorter at least. Once they get into below 5 minute territory it's same as ICE car at gas station.

You're funny when the leading self-described communist country is doing 2.5 times the carbon emissions of the leading capitalist one. Those with your views are the bigger offenders.

No, Earth isn't almost dead. Earth went millions of years with more than four times the current CO2 concentration, for example.

AI will (already does and growing) need massive datacenters with new construction and gear needing maintenance and replacement, immense energy needs, sales and marketing, development including api use, people to connect and use the tools, management and training, compliance oversight, etc.

Robots too will have their infrastructure needs and application makers, security and safety systems, etc.

Just another massive wave of job-makers if they really take off. There is no problem.

all the major vpn have endpoints in the Russian Federation. Anyone can play. Just sayin'
