It's not, grid-scale batteries are being deployed all over the world, and newer batteries keep getting better and cheaper. Storage hasn't been the issue for years.

Which is, it should be said, also a dumb idea and a waste of money.

Historically, we've taxed based on gasoline usage, which is a pretty decent proxy for both weight and distance traveled, so it ends up being a road use tax. EVs don't use gas, so we need to introduce new road use taxes specificall

The children playing in a park aren't being political, and are largely insulated from the politics of playing in a park... but those circumstances are surrounded by all kinds of political process. As another commenter said, the park&#x

Agreed. The story is great, too. A really interesting logistical challenge that arose from unusual circumstances. There's probably something to be said for the fact that TDC is a small, remote community, so it shouldn't be surpris

Right, but I intentionally avoided making that comparison because of the way the US justice system works. There are more escape hatches for someone who has been charged to be released while awaiting trial: bail, release on recognizance, hab

The thing is, this is pretty standard treatment over in Japan. As the blog poster says, the charge against them was ultimately dropped, but not before they were held for over 30 days. The 23 day timer on charges is, as they said, something

What hypothetical? Vitamin K deficient bleeding can cause bleeding in the brain. It's mentioned in the article, and it's pretty common knowledge: https://www.cdc.gov/vitamin-k-deficiency/about/index.html

If your newborn is bleeding in their brain, you may not realize something is wrong until there are irreversible consequences. Preventative supplementation with vitamin K seems to be the best thing you can do to address it before it happens.
