Maybe it is and they didn't wear masks because it would take away from the optics.

What does Europe manufacture? So much of the products in the supermarkets and department stores and even Euroshops come from outside the EU.

Most of the world's population lives in cities, and the trend shows no sign of abating, even with the pandemic. It is completely fair to prioritize energy and land usage there. A rural/suburban lifestyle where you commute hours a

I've seen a gas station photo advertising $8/gal prices in the LA area. When that goes nationwide, the energy-intensive lifestyle of Americans will come to an end including driving 700 miles to a ball game and towing jet skis arou

Australia? Heh, climate-concerned is the last thing I would say that Aussie politics is.

As mentioned above, these PHEVs that weren't being plugged in were sold to corporate customers as company cars, and the company gave free gas along with the car. No incentive to bother to charge the car when the gas is free. Completely

Ridiculous. Then what's happening in the bush except for being a rich person's safari playground?

Counterpoint to all of the above except your image problems: batteries are heavy and expensive. Also, studies have shown that PHEVs have a similar maintenance cost per mile as BEVs.

Oh, drat. The rest of the world has built exactly one subway line per city and it only runs in one direction.

Lol, I think this takes the cake for clueless HN comment. Solve college football tailgating because that's what most people in the world REALLY care about!

Go to any fashionable flea market and you will see old film cameras for sale, usually by a dedicated seller who can also sell you film.

Hydrogen is a totally different beast than LPG or NG, needing much different fuel lines and engines.

Americans are famous for not realizing that there's an entire world outside their borders. They think everyone needs to go 80 mph on the highway, sorry _freeway_ for 1-2 hours to get to their job.

That's assuming you have the money to overfit to your 1% use case. Otherwise you're paying $xx,000 to drag around batteries that you don't need most of the time.

I don't excuse less safety-minded construction, but a lot of what makes modern cars in the West safer is equipment like side airbags, traction control, cameras and sensors, which in turn costs money. Construction standards haven't

Batteries also weigh a lot and are expensive. May be cheaper to add a small gas engine and tank.

This explanation doesn't clarify why Putin wouldn't blow up the pipelines in July, before telling Europe that they won't deliver gas as long as Europe applies sanctions on Russia. By doing that, Putin already broke any contra

Maybe now with gas above 2€/liter, we'll see more people charging their PHEVs. However they are also a rich person's toy, since you need to charge them at home to have the battery-powered miles be cheaper than the petrol-powe

Wasn't that the point of Google Desktop? Irony is now that when speaking of Google OS search: I can't just search on Android, whereas iOS does it better. I miss that little context-aware Search icon on the menu bar in early Androi

I'm a layman but to me its about optics when Toyota doesn't have any EVs but is spending money on hydrogen development, and the aeons-old Prius. Most people are convinced that gas vehicles are not the future, and that renewable-en

The Fed first claimed that there would be no inflation due to their COVID monetary policies and the fiscal policies of the government, then that it would be transitory. https://www.businessinsider.com/fed-keeps-key-rate-near
