Comment It is just another tool (Score 5, Informative) 42

If you treat it as a tool it works just fine. Yes, if you want better results you need to learn to ask better questions, but it is not difficult to figure out. As one person noted in the comments here- it is basically a glorified search engine. When I google for information I get links I then evaluate to see if they fit my issue. With ChatGPT I describe the situation, ask the question, and generally get an answer I can use, but, and this is HUGE, you need to know what you are doing in the subject you are asking about because YOU are the final arbiter of what might and might not work.

"The analysis, based on official figures and commercial data, shows that China’s CO2 emissions have now been stable, or falling, for more than a year."

If you are foolish enough to trust Chinese government information you basically are begging to be shocked, SHOCKED, at the inevitable revelation that they were a fantasy.

Comment It's not really a win/lose situation (Score 1) 522

EV's are magnificent in cities- absolutely. Cities smell by their nature, cutting out all the tailpipe emissions cannot help but improve things... and EV's are NOT going to be very popular in rural areas, or with anyone who does not own a house or condo where they can charge at home. Policy and mandates cannot change that.

In the US the generation infrastructure required to do a full conversion to EV is at least a 25 to 50 year project- we are talking about 98 Terawatts of energy, folks. Not going to get that from windmills.

Comment Re:Increase reliability, stop subsidizing batterie (Score 1, Insightful) 382

Charging time and availability are issues. Lack of generating capacity and distribution infrastructure to power all the new electric vehicles is another issue. Insufficient battery technology is another issue. Hell, Battery FAGILITY is an issue- even minor accidents can have truly staggering repair costs. As for our European betters, this is not Europe.
