Isn't this a major win for the PHEV ? Through regenerative braking, so you get the benfits of a Hybrid. You can charge your PHEV at home during the week, and avoid the inconvienences of an EV when on a road trip.

Good call. If I remember right, then tire-wear [1] is the primary contributor to particulate emissions and a signifcant portion of vehicular pollution comes from the existence of the vehicle itself. (manufacturing, road maintenence) [1] ht

Getting 50 extra miles in your garage or a 15 minute pitstop is a lot easier than charging an EV to full. Each 50 mile charge is about 2 gallon saved, and people like to save $10 every few days if possible. PHEVs are lighter than full EVs,

Seems odd to exclude PHEVs. Most rides are under 50 miles, which means emission-free rides on most occasions. They don't hound chargers and need smaller batteries. Win-win if you ask me.

It's unfair. Period. But nothing in the world has ever been fair. So unfair as it maybe, it's also normal. General question, has any high HDI country fallen prey to the resource curse? (Maybe California and some communist nations?

It's bait, but I'll engage. What part of Georgism is Anarcho-capitalism ? It is merely a way to reason about land and taxation. For a country with near-zero historic buildings, the US has some of the most suffocating housing regul

Both are band aids for the real problem. Housing can't both be an investment and a basic need. You need to pick one or find an opinionated middle ground. If housing is an investment, then remove all protections and open up the supply.
