Drive from from Sacramento to Tahoe in the winter... There's weather, and tons of ice/snow at elevation. Many here complain about how inaccurate Tesla's range calcs are driving to Tahoe. It's not the state, it's th

I'd throw Fidelity into that category but I don't know the assets under mgmgt., Just they are huge, private, and more and more offer retail like online banking with some physical locations that are more investment-advisor oriented

Bill Browser's Red Notice and then Freezing Order. They read like fiction and gave me a whole new appreciation for how Russia works, plus international politics and investing.

Most ground mount solar projects have a base flood elevation, under which the panels will be inundated with water, not to mention, moved at least once a year. A rack-less mounting solution might work in some locations, but very few.

Certainly part of the problem is the protocol of the highway system itself, and our expectation as consumers. Passengers can get by on 30kg ebikes we need a lane system for those on all roads, not just a 'take your own risks bike lane&

The 2 biggest problems you'd want to solve for first are (a) who will buy the power("offtaker") and (b) where the solar project will be placed. If it's commercial, often it will be at the offtaker's location. There

The timing of this is the content - not the ending of remote work issue. It's using the news cycle and a hot button issue (end remote work) to bury the regulatory liability of the headline of the 3 chief complaince officers resignation

People install solar panels when the levelized cost of electricity is cheaper than buying from the utility. This is about the cost of fueling the vehicle. Energy presents a new market to sell goods and services into, they don't want 3r

This kind of press is akin to hailing the 20 gallon gas tank over the 10 gallon gas tank. In the future consumers will understand kWh per mile is more important, just like mpg is today.

Some recruiting, like some sales jobs and like many things in life, is a numbers game. And there is zero cost for the bulk messaging campaign on the way to the 1/50 affirmative response they will get. If there is a way to solve this
