Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Yours is not to reason why, but to shut up and do what you're told by a class of people who can't drive a nail into a board without putting themselves in the hospital, and destroying the nail, the board, and the hammer (and it takes a very special kind of stupid to break a hammer).

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Unsolvable is what on some days I begin to think the world's ills are, as there just don't seem to be enough highly intelligent, rational folks left to keep things going much longer; ala Idiocracy, stupid is the new smart, and if you pay attention, you'll see it everywhere.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Overload of the electrical grid, manifesting in brownouts and blackouts, will be the inevitable result of failing to build enough new peak-load generating capability (which renewable sources aren't good at) to keep up with increasing demand from charging electric cars.

misterNNL Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Cars of the EV type are still in their infancy so we have a whole lot of learning to do about what it will actually take to make them really sustainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) "Imagination" and "sustainable" can mean many different things; considering the USA has between 200 to almost 500 years worth of recoverable coal reserves, and the technology exists to remove everything harmful from a coal-burning powerplant's exhaust and REUSE it in a carbon-neutral cycle, it's beyond idiotic to be rushing headlong into a forced reliance on solar and wind power generation.
