It's an entirely different paradigm. With an ICE, you can only fuel up at a gas station, but it is fast (not always though, queues, etc.). With an EV you charge overnight at home, and only charge on the road as required, and it can be

The counter to your "think of the grid" argument is that the fossil fuel network may start to atrophy once there are significantly less people fuelling their gas vehicles. If filling your gas car involves an unplesant trip to a pe

I thought you must be wrong - $5K for a dumb arty round? But some googling indicates this is about right, and prices have even gone up since the Russian invasion.

You say we can, but history shows we can't. If there was an easy way to reign in big oil then we would have found it by now. Whereas we (democracies) would have a fighting chance (literally) of seeing off a malevolant dictatorship.

It's possible to know where the humans are but be unable to destroy them with commonly available artillery payloads due to them being well dug in with overhead protection. These could swarm in the back door.

I thought the opposite. Watching it scrabble to get its hind legs up on the ledge - exactly as a dog would do, with the benefit of millions of years of evolution behind it - was very impressive to me.

Looking inside a kettle in London provides the same experience (at least when I lived there). Now we live on rain water and the inside of the kettle is pristine, despite bird crap on our roof and flora in the guttering.
