Plan B could be large vertical shafts drilled into tall mountains. Let the high altitude winds create the venturi effect (low pressure) to suck air up the shaft and have turbines in the shaft to generate electric power. Similar to hydro p

They'll make the model Y in Fremont because once the Model3 line moves to the new cast superstructure process enough space will be freed up for both lines to coexist because of their shared parts. The other factor is the strong market

Who would have thought that it might be tricky to replicate the capabilities of an organism exquisitely designed by evolution over more than 10 million years to dash through the jungle canopy with break neck speed, split second coordination

To make an analogy with the ancient Roman trieme ships with three tiers of rowers. A 10x rower in that context is not the guy who can pull the oar 10 times harder, it's the guy who, while he can pull the oar, can also tell you when th

I'm with you on this. In 1850 there was a fax line from New York to Paris. At about the same time there were scheduled international flights from Germany to Argentina. Trains got up to 60mph around 1875. And of course telegrams cou

Pretty clearly Huawei is now the cow that the US and China will be fighting over. Meng is now likely to be caught up in this as well regardless of how the current charges go. The US standing right up to China and punching it the nose. It&

It's interesting how few people understand (this author included) about Costco is how its huge quantities of consumer consumables (eg toilet paper etc) allows Costco to avoid channel conflict in this segment, which in turn drives traff

Apparently designers of large air craft have been aware of things like this for quite some time. It's not a good look if everyone on a 747 comes down with measles, or worse.

I don't love the look of the Cybertruck but what I do love is the value per dollar and the larger than expected cab space.

For example, what Mercedes is missing for the EQC electric SUV production is, enough batteries for full production. I wonder how many other makers are looking at this particular bottle neck?

If I'm not mistaken Singapore and Bermuda have higher average incomes than the US and Europe. On the other hand the people of Costa Rica, Uruguay and Chile for example are mostly pretty happy with their circumstances as are other midd
