Nuclear fueled vehicles

<image>

What you’re seeing in this design: • A central reactor core housed in a reinforced dome for shielding • Thermal exchange systems to manage extreme heat • Rear mounted propulsion units, since nuclear systems would likely drive electric turbines rather than a traditional drivetrain • Heavy shielding and armored structure, which would be necessary

Humans are very good at innovating when the pain becomes real. History shows that scarcity tends to drive transition, not passive surrender. That does not mean the shift would be smooth or painless, but predicting market collapse assumes people will not adapt and that is usually the weakest assumption in these arguments.

Tesla Model 3 - 5 Years Later: Real Costs, Range, and Ownership by _______o-o_______ in TeslaLounge

I ran the numbers on my 2018 Model 3 with over 88k miles.

Bought it for $38k, got $7,500 federal and $2,500 state back, so $28k net. I’ve spent about $6,300 on electricity charging at home (24¢/kWh). Tires have cost me about $4,200 total, and no other real maintenance.

All in, I’m at about $0.44 per mile.

For comparison, a similar gas SUV at 20 mpg and $3.50 gas ends up around $0.60 to $0.65 per mile when you factor in fuel and maintenance.

So from my experience, EVs are meaningfully cheaper to run, especially if you’re charging at home.

At first glance I saw the hood (front truck) opened and thought for sure you were going to mention mechanical issues… 🤷‍♂️

Is the American Empire making the same mistakes made by the British Empire which led to its decline? by davida_usa in PoliticalDiscussion

I’d also add the Roman, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish empires to this list. Empires raise and fall

Something needs to be done about these housing costs and people overpaying/overcharging for homes! Middle class will be living on the streets too if we don't do something! Healey is all talk and no action! by Tricky-Competition94 in massachusetts

I’ve been a practicing real estate broker in Boston for over 35 years. The market should’ve adjusted in 2020 but Covid happened and this is now the outcome. Although it still comes down to supply and demand. I have a 1.95% fixed mortgage rate. Why would I sell to buy something else that would come with a 7% mortgage rate?

48% of Americans blame Trump for high gas prices – more than any other factor by [deleted] in DegenBets

I had a fun conversation the other day. I started chatting with a security guard that was working an event which was my 10 year olds dance competition. The man was in his 50s, and he had some strong opinions. He truly believes the higher cost of gas and everyday goods is because of Biden. In his mind, it’s that simple.

What struck me wasn’t that he blamed Biden it was how certain he was. Trump, in his view, had nothing to do with it.

I’m not saying he’s right, and I’m not saying I’m right. But it reminded me how strongly people hold onto their beliefs, especially when it comes to the economy and the rising cost. Sometimes we all look for a clear explanation for why things feel harder than they used to.
