Why is it that the propaganda outlets will only show crimes on black people committed by other black people lately, and they won't report at all on the much higher amount of crimes committed on black people by white people?

Because statistics and raw numbers show that this is simply not the case, by a long shot.

Check your numbers again on black/black crime, especially violent crime.

...while other US states are trying to ban EVs, solar & wind, etc.. Swings & roundabouts, mate. Swings & roundabouts.

Ugh...I fucking HATE roundabouts.

I've seen a couple pop up here and there in a couple states I've been in recently.

Shortly followed by a huge increase in penalties and taxes for anybody operating one of those things in California. I know it's a dazzlingly beautiful and tempting notion but Milton Friedman was right about one thing, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

You know, at some point, when life gets tough enough in CA, taxes get just TOO high (and I'd have to think it's close now)....the people will finally wake up and vote the politicians OUT of office that are making their lives so difficult with regards to income, taxes and transportation.

It was only a few decades ago that CA was a Republican state.

It has changed back and forth over the years.

Numerous US states are going to ban new ICE sales , eg california by 2035.

I wouldn't hold my breath or put down heavy bets on that just yet.

With current trends...EV sales dropping, etc....unless the battery tech gets better quickly, and there is more infrastructure....states likely will have to extend those deadlines just out of practicality....

Of course a lot can happen in 10 years, but also, as we've seen....a lot can just NOT happen in 10 years.

They were making assumptions, the type which can often go against the average citizen and it should not be such.

There are liberals on the supreme court?!

VERY much so...

Kagen, Jackson and Sotomayor....I dunno if I got the spelling right on those...

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I'll bet you are the life of the party, amiright?

Personally, I'd rather stay young at heart and mind....especially when the body starts to fail a bit.

Can you cite some examples of overreach besides vague recollections?

Sackett vs EPA is the one I was thinking of...easy to google my friend.

And I found one from NPR to satisfy your liberal bent...

;)

This ruling arrowed the scope of the Clean Water Act and the agency's power to regulate waterways and wetlands.

There have been others, this is setting precedent in a number of unrelated cases of citizens vs govt agency overreach.

A number of pending 2A cases going before SCOTUS use this and other rulings to fight against the ATF in their recent rulings...some of which turn millions of every day citizens into felons overnight for buying weapons that the ATF expressly stated for years (in writing) that it was legal to buy and own....pistol braces for one, and even the bump stock case.

I'll leave those for you to google.

here does it state anything will be shutdown? This about cleaning up their act which might cut into the constant record quarterly profits.

Well, to start with, it is expressly mentioned in the title of this thread:

"New Rule Compels US Coal-Fired Power Plants To Capture Emissions - or Shut Down"

EVs are perfectly fine for daily commutes within a 120 mile round trip (just pulled that number out of my ass with 1 hour each way @ 60mph) as long as you can charge at home over night. The entire problem for those potential customers is PRICE PRICE PRICE.

Everyone seems to be missing a BIG factor that isn't price.

It's the fact that a LARGE, very significant number of people do not live in single family dwellings they own with off street parking where they can "charge overnight"....

Right now as it stands, they are not interested in EVs either as that refueling is VERY inconvenient.

Sure, but the public demands some God-given right to drive everywhere that is not urbanized or otherwise densified enough to encourage alternative modes of transit like ebikes (bikeshare is in a lot of these locations already, often with government funding e.g. Washington DC's capital bikeshare). There is an unbelievable lack of acknowledgement that the roads infrastructure and city/town layout disaster we have created requires a change in thinking. BEVs are a politically appealing & personally appealing - they are more fun to drive - solution to at least making the driving everywhere issue produce less smog.

You seem to think that everyone in the US yearns to live in a dense urban city, sharing walls and stacked on top of each other like rats.

That simply is not the lifestyle everyone WANTS.

God given right? Well, I believe everyone has the GGR to live however most makes them happy. And for me...it's having a single family dwelling, where I don't share walls with anyone, I have a back yard where I can keep and fire up my wood burning offset smoker, or ceramic grill (lump charcoal)....park my motorcycle...have room for friends to come over and maybe set up for a big crawfish boil, etc.

I'd not be happy in an urban city where I couldn't plant my summer veggie garden and BBQ....and basically HAD to walk everywhere and buy groceries multiple days of the week.

I have no animosity to those that prefer that, but I do believe in CHOICE in the US, and I like the choices I have.

I'm far from being alone in this train of thought.

The public demand argument (it's there, cost is the issue currently)

It's not just cost....it's range anxiety, and the fact that not everyone has a single family home they own with covered parking where they can recharge overnight....and the lack of charging infrastructure in the vast swaths of land between CA and NYC on the extreme coasts.

For a number of reasons, the people that really want EVs....have them, the rest of the country for the most part is "meh"....and not really in the market.

At least not for the present. I don't know of any one in my circle of friends that owns an EV. I only know of one, that had a Prius years back, and told me him and his wife are thinking of getting maybe an EV Jeep in the future, but other than that, I don't know of anyone with interest in going EV just yet.

I haven't seen any in my neighborhood....middle class. I see a few teslas here and there...mostly Uber drivers from what I've observed around town.

This is in the New Orleans area.

While that's true, the economies of scale are lacking.

This may be compounded in that EV sales in the US, in general, over the past year or so, have been down, and new car inventories of EVs are piling up on sales lots as compared to their ICE counterparts.

It seems, to a large extent, the people that actually really WANT an EV, have one....and the rest of the US, for reasons ranging from price, range anxiety to insurance, etc....aren't really in the market for one.

I read so many contradicting numbers. Stuff like this [oberlo.com] where Apple apparently has close to 60% of market share in the US, but then reading the article in this post says new activiations are around 33%.

Well, two things may be in play here.

Yes, iPhones may be the most popular phone in the US.

But also, perhaps the phones are made such that people aren't needing to upgrade them as often as they do Androids....hence, "new" activations could be down?

I'm still on iPhone 12 Pro Max and see no reason to upgrade anytime soon....battery is still first rate, camera good enough...I always buy with largest amount of memory available...so, it isn't filling up, etc.
