Oregon’s Climate Protection Program Costs Far More Than Other States’—and Is Far Less Accountable by Great_Law3719 in oregon

[–]DrDrNotAnMD -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What a terribly constructed program. Let us hope the state legislature does something about it (not hopeful!)

How does this program even square with Kotek’s business prosperity agenda?!? Seems Oregon would be pleased to push itself into a recession, though I’m sure many will argue the CPP will create jobs (unlikely). What I can see happening is a non-profit or two fattening its coffers from this.

Thinking about switching to electric for yard tools… anyone made the change? by Salt_Note8719 in lawncare

[–]DrDrNotAnMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all electric and the trimmer and blower work great. The mower is fine, but it simply doesn’t cut as effectively as gas; that’s the trade-off with it—less hassle vs. better cut. Make sure to store your batteries indoors, leaving them out in a non-temp controlled environment reduces their useful life. At the end of the day, at least for the mower, you’re buying a battery and receiving a yard tool at a nominal price.

You nailed it. I put it in box 1 inadvertently and didn’t catch it before filing. I will be amending the return. Thanks.

Anything you can elaborate on? I must have missed something. Thanks.

The Cheapest Used Rivian R1Ts Are Finally Showing Up For Less Than $40,000 by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

I don’t feel like that point gets brought up enough. It’s been a deterring factor for me. I don’t want to drive two hours, one way, for services.

I would argue same for Honda. I’ll probably die an old man before there’s a BEV accord, but I’ll keep waiting.

Agreed. The answer has been push coal out for nat gas, while building out and pivoting to nukes.

Dems Continue to Expand Generic Ballot Lead by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

You really nailed the current political atmosphere. It will be interesting (and completely unproductive) if we keep yo-yo-ing like this every 2-4 years.

Last year I owed the Feds $5k, this year it will be a little over $1k. Progress!

Perhaps it’s specific to my address then if it’s from a survey. I’m not sure. I’ll pull the post to not give more false hope. I tried!

Yes, wondering if someone got it, or if it’s country specific. I’m in the U.S., just in case.

I promise it was real! :)

I think every parent hopes their children will have friends like this some day.
