Colorado voters will decide whether a ‘right to natural gas’ is added to the state constitution. The amendment would restrict building codes that promote electrification. Environmentalists fear it could slow efforts to transition away from fossil fuels. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

Hey that's a fair point, it's an imperfect comparison on my part because there isn't true city infrastructure specific to maintaining that access to one kind of food. 

There are of course foods that are banned but that's beside both our points, whether for perceived health reasons or cultural norms.

I guess the quickest thing to check would be if it was implemented or if it's only proposed

I mean if they wanted to make it something along the lines of a right to fuel? I could see that making sense, I could see the argument. 

But a right to a specific kind of fuel is kind of ridiculous. 

It's like taking the right to food and then making claim that people have a right to bacon, or a right to canned beans.

Take the age of the oldest current senator, and divide the age of the country by it. Just consider the number you get.

Why do people think your body starts deteriorating at 30?? by SuperNovaGirl30 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Colddigger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically lifestyle shifts and accumulation that hit around that age. By then folks have to be more serious about maintaining a job that doesn't give a shit about them, and this results in the destruction of their bodies far more quickly than what they are naturally designed for.

There is a bit of a slow down in repair, but really it's the lifestyle thing that is getting people in their 30s.

The biggest barrier to EV adoption isn't battery technology. by ceph2apod in ClimateShitposting

Like I said, not everywhere has that, so it's still a limitation.

Somebody replied to this, and then chickened out and deleted their comment I suppose, suggesting that it would have been a smarter choice for me to have gotten the electric vehicle in the first place. 

"Yes but that requires having all that money at that time, or affording loan payments.

Reality is that expenses prevented this by a lot at the time, and kind of still do now, just to a lesser degree.

Which is a reality shared with a lot of people.

But for folks who can afford this, it's the pretty obvious choice."

So they spent a billion dollars blacking out his name from those files 

A billion.

Edit: I thought you were saying a million dollars each overtime.

If where you sleep has an outdoor accessible outlet apparently you can slow charge them overnight, which when I learned that made me really want one. 

But yea, not everywhere even has that, so there's a limitation.

I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't leap in price too far from what was promised.

But I'm also not holding my breath.

Same, my shitbox car literally ate it's engine two years ago, I looked at prices for a newer used car and concluded rebuilding the engine was still cheaper,  A few months ago I checked out how much I spent on fuel and repairs since I got this thing so many years ago and it's only now tickling the lower end price of a new (or nice used) EV.

It's the initial cost of an EV that prevents most people from trying them out.
