The key enabling technology is to tie all the separate grids together with High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power lines. This technology is flying under the radar but it's getting cheaper very quickly and it allows for continent siz

In Phoenix the roads are unlikely to be covered, whereas in Seattle or Buffalo they might want to cover them in winter. Either way, because of the lack of exhaust fumes, it would be financially viable to cover them whether they decide to o

If you're managing a software project then Apache Bloodhound is excellent and free. Fair warning though it's a geeky product for a geeky use case. If you're managing a screenplay project it would be more work than it's

The people you hear from might have a been a bad sample. In the bike crazy Netherlands, where last year they bought more e-bikes than regular bikes, the most common use of e-bikes is to replace car trips of up to 15km distance. That is my

Existing roads will slowly become populated with light electrics and covered (perhaps seasonally) with no need to deal with exhaust gases. Some businesses will begin to provide indoor parking for the electrics. Some parking garages will be

Electric bicycles (and other light electrics) are going to remake the world's cities in the next 30 years. The signs are already in place. The biggest transformational factor is the lack of exhaust allowing a lot of personal transport

So in this case the entrenched providers would typically try to influence at the regulatory level. For example, no spectrum, no business license etc. We, the public, weren't invited to those closed door meetings but I'd sure lik

I would probably recommend this. Thinking of electricity as analogous to water flow under gravity can get you a long way. I do recommend studying the mathematics of imaginary numbers (not hard, just takes a bit of time) since this is used

Forbes (a website I despise) did a survey of people and how much they worried about money. As I recall even those with $3bn still worried about not having enough money. I'm not sure if that feeling is ingrained from evolving on the p

Perhaps a more interesting comparison is between Elon the CEO of Tesla and Elon the CEO of SpaceX. You may notice that these are two very different personalities that serve two different corporate requirements. The Elon of SpaceX introduce

Not all "common colds" are covid. I recall 30%-40% of common colds are one of a few types of covid. Clearly covid-19 is no kind of common cold at all.
