I don't know about the US, but the average distance people drive here in Europe is less than 100Km/day (I presume "greater than 600 miles" is actually 1000Km).

I am not sufficient of an engineer to decide whether this is feasible or economic, but how about EVs having a small battery for the average day journeys, and space to add a larger battery if you have the occasional need for a longer journey?

You just know the fundies are going to be all over this. When do we expect the executive order from Trump banning it in the US?

So, which bit of the cell after "conception" does the soul come from?

Domestic cats are much more of a danger to birds than wind turbines.

It has also been shown that painting wind turbine blades can mitigate bird kills.

Simply doing a blackboard calculation isn't enough, you need to look at some empirical facts as well. These show that 97% of Scotland's electricity already comes from renewables.

Scotland already produces about 97% of its energy from renewable sources.

Because the ACM has more people who think John Rawls has something to say about society than Ayn Rand?

That would be the discredited political movement called "Social Darwinism", nothing to do with the theory of evolution.

It would seem that Trump is now working for Netanyahu.

If it is morally justifiable to assassinate Iran's leader, then is it equally morally justifiable to assassinate the leaders of other countries who may pose a threat to yours?

One has to wonder what the Israeli government's end game is. Not just in Gaza, or the West Bank, but in its military threats to Syria and now its attack on Iran.

This isn't the principle screw-up. If a non-renewable source, say gas, kicks in for a charging period, then the whole of the electricity price for that period is determined by the gas price, rather than just the percentage of energy that it produces.

"How will this impact people", and, "What effect will this have on society" aren't questions that get asked by the tech bros. The question that does get asked is, "How can I monetise these for my benefit"

Incidentally, the "AI apocalypse" was deemed to be in progress in an article the other day. Presumably, the Butlerian jihad can't be far behind.

Europe is already offering places to American academics and is looking to attract even more.

Suppose that these academics do move and, even after Trump goes, they can see the MAGA interference in the education system. Would you want to move back to the US again?

As a prospective student, would you look at American universities where star names have gone elsewhere, and where you would face severe visa restrictions and decide that is the place you want to be?

What Rubio is effectively saying is that American law will apply everywhere and override any national laws.

It supports the fact that Xitter has refused to remove a video showing a stabbing video, viewed by someone who went on to stab three children and was wrongly characterised on social media as an illegal immigrant and Muslim, even though he was born in the UK and Christian.

The UK also has laws that prevent the harassment of women attending family planning clinics. These too have been characterised as censorship by members of the Trump administration.

They probably bought the unbranded ones from Amazon.
