Fun fact: you should read entire posts.

Well, US isn't going to have such cars for at least a decade so it's still a 20-30 minute full charge.

Etc. US Grid isn't ready and needs massive upgrades...and this disaster of an admin sure isn't going to do it...nor are the 'for profit' companies that in all but name own our grids.

It's absolutely something that needs to be figured out.

I've listened to pods about it talking to grid people and one way they are trying to speed up such installations is to basically allow install, but only guarantee 50% service level, i.e. they can rate limit the charger business when grid needs require it.

That's at least a decent middle ground.

But the US power grid is *far* from being ready for much of it.

if hydrogen could be a drop in replacement for use in distribution pipelines, it would have a reason to be followed. But it doesn't. Rebuilding the infrastructure on top of it's $15-20/gallon equivalent cost is just never going to take off.

It will have a niche place out towards power grid edges and you need mobile fueling w/o solar+batteries, but that's where the cost gets justified.

I haven't seen details on the grid upgrades required to have 6-12 of such chargers running at the same time on one property. We're talking random gas stations needing massive infrastructure levels of power.

Fair to say the US grid is a decade or more of intelligent upgrade from that being viable - and realistically a lot longer.

Still not an argument for hydrogen, but the bridge to ubiquitous charging needed for true mass adoption seems fuzzy still.

Glad to see little David's hammering the Goliath's.

Local towns should really be doing it themselves as well. 'Buy Local' means more than food. All that money stays inside the community.

Unfortunately here in VA the Goliath's literally bought laws to make it illegal for a municipal broadband system to offer service at prices below any existing providers....and to require any proposed system have a business plan with profitability in year ONE.

Very Definition of Regulatory Capture.

Sure wish I had the expertise to do this...lol The market for Comcast hatred is what one calls a 'target rich environment'

From your link "the surface warming increases signicantly for the case of water feedback assuming xed relative humidity"

it literally explains the "Feedback Loop" that's the problem. CO2 causes some warming, which causes more H20 vapor to be released, which causes far more warming...and repeat.

a given CO2 concentration will obviously reach a heat/radiative equilibrium - but it's not acting alone.

Also, Venus would like a word.

I am not. I see you are a fool.

Good day.

An indicator of catastrophic future damage isn't newsworthy....to fools.

literally google "CO2 ppm [year]" and you'll find dozens of citations.

You do know we have data on CO2 levels going back millions of years right? It hasn't increased this fast this high since humans have been around. In fact it was relatively stable until about 100 years ago.

1000 AD - 280 ppm
1100 AD - 282
1200 AD - 284
1300 AD - 283
1400 AD - 281
1500 AD - 282
1600 AD - 277
1700 AD - 277
1800 AD - 283
1850 AD - 285
1900 AD - 295
1950 AD - 310

The Dems lost because of 40 years of not actually standing for anything they'd die on the hill for. Dems haven't shut down the gov't to get the minimum wage increased. It's worth less today than it was in the 1960s. Dem's haven't shut down the gov't for much of anything.

People see that and when a charlatan says he will do things FOR you, people start to listen. If people don't have concrete and recent examples of what YOU do for them...they tend to go where the promises are.

I kid you not, today the Dem Senate leader Schumer crowed about changing the friggin NAME of the big Trump bill. Not any of the actions in it, but the NAME. Like, if that's what's important to you....you ain't gonna win elections.

You European socialists LOL

Americans have no idea how badly they're being ripped off by corporate ISPs here.

Comcast in Northern VA would drop almost daily during congestion times. They'd have to drop WAY down in price before I'd ever consider switching back

Could be worse, in Virginia, they literally made it *illegal* to have your town provide municipal Internet unless:

1. it's not priced lower than any existing for profit offering
2. it has to prove it will be profitable in year ONE.

Just insane regulatory capture by Comcast and Verizon.
