... to build a successful business in the western capilalist system requires a certain amount of ruthlessness, treading on others and using your friends efforts to get yourself ahead. I'm not apologising for the guy, he was an unpleasent dick, but if he hadn't been Apple might never have existed.

"Solar, wind and energy conservation are proven, cost effective and realistic technologies"

Oh FFS, how many times does the word "baseload" have to be mentioned before people like you get it? Yes , solar and wind should be an essential part of the mix - but the sun doesn't shine at night or much at all during a northern winter and wind power often isn't much use when there's a slopw moving high pressure system sat above (which is pretty bloody often in a large part of the world). And no, you can't just rely on batteries, they can't store enough power for more than a few hours unless you have a storage unit the size of a small hill.

"L2 chargers, at home, work, or other public places, is sufficient for 99% of driving days for most people."

Most people in the US maybe with their huge houses and drives where installing a charger is no problem and large office complexes ditto. Meanwhile here in the UK 40% of the population have no offstreet parking and the majority of companies in cities have no car park AT ALL. Public transport is the expected method of commuting. Where I live there are a whole 6 chargers in a 2 mile radius which probably has 10-20K people so do let us know where those EVs would be charged.
