'Lane ends by saying EVs can "work as well as ICE counterparts in many, or even most, ordinary situations." But in the extraordinary ones, like 16-hour blizzard traffic jams? "We're not there yet.'

1) This only works when the overlap peak electric demand and peak vehicle demand do not overlap. Night time, when the cars sit idle, is also a low demand time of day, and the afternoon energy demand peak coincides partially with the evening

I can fill up the gas car quickly almost anywhere if I'm running low on fuel. Also, survival time in a stuck ICE in Winter is much higher.

I pretty much just believe the opposite of what the government says at this point. Lol. The only people I know who have beaten obesity long term have done it with some combination of IF/keto/paleo. Everybody else backslides.

The value of a human life in engineering calculations is about $8M. Seems barbaric, but if you don't do it you have no way to stop adding safety measures to anything and thus cannot do anything.

Yes, but these things are the big electric consumers so adding a new class of high load appliances on a mass scale is a big deal.

The smaller the PM gets the worse it is healthwise. Unfortunately manufacturers meet more stringent PM standards by crushing the particles smaller. If they were serious about cleaning the air and fighting climate change they'd have sta

Great. Dissolve Exxon.. What about the state oil companies of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, and others that produce the other 95% of the oil? Climate Change is not a problem that can be unilaterally solved by the West. Saudi Arabia isnt going

International oil companies are a small piece of the production pie. Even if they all shut down it's the state oil companies that do the bulk of the production.

State oil companies dwarf the international producers like Exxon by a factor of 10-20, depending on how you count. All the wonderful carbon free schemes ignore the fact that these state owned oil companies hold trillions in oil wealth in re

If you have gas and heat running to your home you will have one if the other fails. We just had a 24 hour blackout at my house. The fact that we had gas allowed us to remain in the home with hot water, stove and heat without too much inconv

Great system. The advantage of running gas to homes is to avoid the single point of failure in the event either the gas or electric delivery fails. Also, creating heat from electricity requires either a) massive amounts of sustainable energ

There is a gas war coming with states like California, Washington, and New York actively seeking to legislate natural gas out of the energy mix, along with the Feds, and then there about 20 states with laws already on the books declaring th

You cannot simultaneously support a welfare state and open borders. Every non-payer added to the system lowers the quality for the existing members.

My introduction to 1:1 was with a notably bad manager and that has given me a bad taste for them. Once a week is a horrible schedule. That's a regular production killer as you need to task switch from focused work up to the corporate g

Gee. All they had to do was just ignore this for two weeks and the whole world would move on. Who made this decision?

Tech industry risk appetite is inverse to the prime rate. With rates at near zero, there's going to be lots of growth because, hey free money. As that prime rate increases you need a lot better justifications to borrow money for new en

All those companies are made up of individuals who must make those exact same decisions for themselves. As for blacklists, if you're a douchebag you'd better be real good at something, because people never forget that, and in no

Try it with biostatistics device both ways. You will see your resting heart rate is substantially lower when you stop eating early, and this will improve your HRV and deep sleep stats.

I don't keep current tabs on modeling. There is plenty of active discussion of the problems with modeling in a academic literature, e.g. https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1093/reep/rew0..

ESG investment went down in 2022. First year it's happened since the term was invented. That's good news to me. I'm so sick of the politicization of everything.
