You really miss the point, don't you. The energy still has to come from somewhere, unless you are running a 100% green energy (Solar, Wind, GeoThermal) and off the grid, you're creating waste, yes, it may not be a tail pipe, it's somewhere else that you don't directly see it. But fact is, the waste still occurs, the fault is still there, it's just out of sight, and for you, clearly out of mind. Even the most green countries use forms of energy that are not green. The highest green countries still only account for about 40%, which means the other 60% is coming from somewhere not green, also known as polluting. http://ecowatch.com/2015/01/09... Recyclable batteries are good, except when they reach the limit, which is only a second use before they have to be scrapped or face fault (Which result in fires, explosions, etc, not to mention the caustic fumes). We have a long way to go in recyclable technology, in green energy, in the whole lot. But what I'm saying is that EV just move the problem out of sight, continued work and improvements need to be made, gasoline vehicles in the past 10 years have made huge leaps in MPG not to mention its overall reduction of free chemicals. It's not perfect by any means. No technology is, the argument isn't wrong, you just can't see the forest for the "leaf"

But you're taking out the idea of where the energy is coming from, Fossil Fuels are not great, but 92% of the EV Fuel, is coal, which even with scrubbers improving, has far more toxins than fossil fuels. And unless you're going to go all solar, off-the-grid, and start purchasing Tesla batteries, it all runs about equal in the Earth. The difference with EV, is out of sight, out of mind.

Actually the batteries are pretty non-recyclable, and please don't give me that about paying your health cost, the average gas vehicle is about the same as the SMUG producing EV or Hybrid. http://www.technologyreview.co...

Paying $60 for channels I watch vs. $60 for channels I don't watch makes a lot of sense. I love how companies "love competition" except when it actually starts to affect them. ESPN, I see no reason to have 14 drone coverage and ultimately you've created the bloated mess that is the college sports. Time to step away and let people speak for what they really want on TV.

Reading the complaint and then reading the Google response will make your head spin. Congratulations Google on a successful redirection of the issue, Android maintains a large percentage of the market share and oh by the way, we'll just slip in our services with it that pays us instead of the phone manufacturer. "But you get it all for 'free'", the cost of your free product is your privacy, your security, and your freedoms. They enter into agreements with manufacturers in order to install the OS which is "free" and then force a certain percentage of Google Applications in order to meet criteria to not meet a mass-distribution payment schedule. Then we're going to layer services within services, so you don't even see us selling to you. Congrats though, you got caught. Time to pay the piper.

would be nice to bring it back, the infrastructure shouldn't be that large.
