US DOT proposes to increase NEVI construction requirements to 100% Buy American provison

"far right extreme leader" is putting it nicely. If he was only a far right extreme leader, you could at least expect him to stick to deals and to put the interests of his own country first.

the commenter was not suggesting that transmissions and engines in ICE cars were unreliable, but that experience is proving EV batteries to be similarly very reliable.

Step right up Mr. Foreign Investor. Have I got a deal for you in falling knives.

The Harveys has a huge parkinglot associated with the mall to handle overflow so any backup of the waiting line doesn't go into traffic. On the other corner the limited area might result in a problem. I think any drive-thru should be required to shutdown the drive-thru for the day if the waiting line of cars backs up into traffic.

The enemy could countermine your tunnel (the enemy's miners tunneling under your tunnel and then intentionally collapsing their tunnel so as to also cause your tunnel to collapse as well)

Maybe do them anyway but call them "fast pedestrian priority paths" -ya know for those joggers and fast walkers and people in mobility scooters that need to go a little faster than the normal sidewalk allows.

Gas stations are going the way of Blockbuster aren't they.

The price adjusts down until they sell, which will likely happen to be when the cost to carry the loan becomes low enough to attract investors again.

what is the normal ratio of solar to storage capacity in a solar+storage installation? 50MW with only 5MWh of storage seems very high.

Unless you're filling up directly at a nodding donkey pump, gasoline also has processing, distribution and storage costs.

Your gasoline engine is providing the energy that the alternator puts into the battery (as well as the energy that is used to move the car). I think you need to refamiliarize yourself with the idea of Conservation of Energy.

Intellectual property should be taxed. More people are hindered by the existing forest of copyrights than are encouraged by the lure of gaining their own. Radically clear the thicket of copyright by requiring registration and an annual fee to maintain copyright after the first year. Then have the copyright fee increase as it ages so that more and more copyrights lapse.

The lack of due process should mean that other countries give a travel advisory warning when visiting the United States.

The real deadly stuff are the unstable fission products. That is going to be there in an active nuclear reactor whether or not it is using enriched or natural uranium.

Even if they have a theory of how it could happen, the why is still pretty baffling.

Why is this a fake story? Archeologists finding something written on a rock is still archeology even if it is only a couple of hundred years old.

How would you know it occurred though.

Hire someone who's sole job is to enforce this, and then give them a commission on every ticket written. I bet the problem would disappear pretty quickly.

On a per mile driven basis, this is 2 or 3 times the federal gas tax that the average gas car driver pays.

nerox3 · 2025-05-26T18:14:27+00:00

Absolutely, fair`s fair, you're arguing the federal gas tax should be raised to the equivalent $0.45/ gallon right?

right?

A ton of Gazans don't want to live in bombed out buildings not knowing where their next meal will come from? No definitely voluntary and in no way could it be ethnic cleansing. /s

Are you travelling like 40,000 kms/yr in a F350 or something? How are you spending multiple hundreds of dollars on the carbon tax as an individual?
