In this context wouldn't the EU be a better entity to compare against the US federal government? In that sense the ID situation in the US is pretty much the same as in Europe (each member state issues its own IDs), except the US has an

The Economist's paywall is very easy to bypass. It's client-side JS and doesn't work in private browsing windows.

It's even worse in Europe. There the Volt is called the Ampera and the Bolt is called the Ampera-E... even though it's a completely unrelated design.

Take it from a Thinkpad X60 owner, the Intel GPUs from that era are absolute trash . They don't support OpenGL 3.0 on any platform (in fact, they didn't gain 3.0+ support until Sandy Bridge in 2011(!)) so don't expect any o

That's why I said "coal and nuclear industries" rather than electric utilities. Even if the generators aren't making money from increased output someone still needs to mine the minerals that power those plants. While I a

There are advantages that electric cars have that have nothing to do with their evironmental benefits. They have massive torque, smooth acceleration, are silent at low speeds, you never have to go to a gas station, fewer moving parts so les

When was the last time you saw or heard an ad for a electric car? If you went into a car dealership, would you expect the salesperson to recommend an electric car to you if you didn't ask?

The oversupply in the generation market is why I've lately been confused why the coal and nuclear industries haven't been promoting electric vehicles more vigorously to drive demand for electricity. With pretty much every other el

I'm assuming you're referencing David Graeber? His book on this subject, Debt: The First 5000 Years, is a very good read (and very good food for thought) but as a non-expert in both anthropology and economics I'm not sure how

Not only that, but Mazda itself has been resource-starved enough that they don't have a viable electric car program either. They've pretty much put all their eggs in the "Skyactiv" ICE basket (which, to be fair, has p
