Dwell time stood out in that gold mine of a site. Reinforcing the BEV argument. It also means that if it can survive in the US it can survive in the world.

Pretty much but the reduction in mechanics is a big one.

Methane and biodiesel are sitting there waiting to fill in the gaps between what we have and the all electric dream. Farms, ranches, etc, sitting on a gold mine aka waste streams.

And since China makes electric commercial trucks. This will pair perfectly with their push with solar and battery.

One shouldn't ignore the influence Chinese EVs will have on the entire equation considering transportation is driven by oil, especially commercial transportation.

It's going to be a good path for a lot of countries to diminish the power of the petrodollar and oil and gas in general.

Said to an audience hiding behind their ad-blockers. Mourning not it's loss.

Climate change doesn't give a damn what mankind says about it, or the attempts to avoid responsibility. It's coming for us and payback is going to be a bitch regardless of whom.

It is a rather high number. So, high UIDs correlate with cognitive decline. I'll remember that.

At least Britain and France have (had) enrichment plants and separation processes. Which is more efficient ... hard to say from the outside. Classified on the inside - at least the military parts of the programme.

Germany and "Europe" as a whole ... no. Not yet.

An obvious consequence of America's disintegration into civil war will be that the EU *has* to bind it's forces into one group.

Whether they (remember : the UK is no longer politically in the EU) can tolerate having US bases in their territory which are likely to schism into Loyalist (Trump) and Loyalist (Constitutionalist) factions during the civil war (CW-2, CW-3 ... ?) and fight amongst themselves ... that must be subject to vigorous planning at this moment. Removing nuclear weapons from them would be a high priority.

It has been about 6 years since I went to the cinema.

Now, if Hollywood would produce some interesting movies - even those involving Pinewood and Shepperton, or even New Zealand - then that might be a reason to go. But no, there hasn't been anything worth the 3-day's income cost of going to the local fleapit.

None of which produces the "accidental" byproduct of weaponisable nuclear isotopes, which we're going to need to counter the American withdrawal into civil war.

Wouldn't you?

They won't be any use at all.
I work in the physical world, not the digital world.

Using AI is training AI to replace you. If you can be replaced with AI, you will be, and should be.

If you don't use AI, your peers will be, and you will be replaced by AI anyway.

Good Luck
