I've never heard of anybody being mugged at a charging station, and a quick google search doesn't give me any examples in the news.

There is such a large campaign to disparage electric vehicles that I expect that this has ever happened it would have been trumpeted all over.

On the other hand, a quick google gives me a plethora of news stories about people mugged at gas stations (although there are a lot more stories about the gas stations themselves getting robbed) https://www.google.com/search?...

So, no, you seem to have it opposite.

It sure simplifies thinking when you take complicated things and summarize them with a quip.

My conclusion here is that you don't really know very much about socialism.

(and, for the record: no, I am not a socialist. But I do pay attention and try to understand things at more than a superficial level.)

This is a good start: https://www.nrel.gov/gis/solar... . For CO2 emissions you have to multiply by the carbon emission of the power you're replacing.

Yes, they do similar maps for wind, although it's trickier, since wind can vary widely with local topography.

Can't study everything at the same time, the report would be ten thousand pages long and somebody would still say "but why didn't they study X?"

CO2 emissions decrease equals the solar energy output times the carbon intensity of the power grid at that location (ie, how much CO2 is emitted per kilowatt-hour generated by the utility. Highest for coal, lowest for hydro.)

You could do price, but that can be changed by the regulators. (in particular, changing to time-dependent power cost changes the economics of solar radically. Also changes the economics for coal, gas, and nuclear.)

Anybody who looked at NREL maps, which are easily available on the web. https://www.nrel.gov/gis/solar...

Minutes is a little pessimistic. When I switch on my flashlight, it doesn't take minutes for response (light appears) to occur.

Capacitors intrinsically have sub-microsecond response time. So make a hybrid system: supercapacitors for the first few seconds, with batteries for the longer period fluctuations.

You're asking me to elucidate Putin's thinking and would like me to write an essay about the difference in operations between two wars that are utterly different in pretty much every respect?

Sorry, I'll pass.

That's correct, Russia says it limits its attacks to military targets. It also says that its attack on Ukraine was self-defense. Neither statement is true.

According to the second paragraph of the summary:

"Samsung's giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip."

So: yes, manufactured in the USA.

He actually meant 17 seconds * 40 watts = 680 joules, not watts.

I was replying to a post stating that the same result could be produced by using a donated egg. A child produced by egg donation is not related to the mother who carries it.

You are misreading.

Thanks. I now know less than I did before.

ROFL!

You win the internet today.

The Catholic church is freaking out over this, but then, they had already been freaking out over in-vitro fertilization even with two parents.

I'm a little dubious about this, but I noted the unusual phrasing "stored in the cell nucleus."

I suppose it's possible that some mitochondrial DNA somehow gets inside the nuclear envelope, but "stored in the cell nucleus" is not identical as "transmitted in the chromosomal DNA". I'm not sure if we care about where mitochondrial DNA that's not the part that's inherited is located.
