1. These all stop working when there’s a wildfire nearby huh?

2. That’s the point: they’re delaying the inevitable, no matter how much misery it causes, just to wring a little more money out of the petroleum money machine which pays them handsomely.

3. I take comfort in facts like these. For all their claims of being economic geniuses, the ship has sailed, the ROI is not there.

4. Here’s the thing, If we keep delaying and holding out on improvements to our energy infrastructure and battery technology and charging stations, and so on, the world will leave us behind.

   Eventually militaries will likely start implementing all electric vehicles and we will get left behind. We better start implementing and innovating or we’re gonna be over here with horse cavalry while our enemies have tanks.

   Diesel generator electric is already more efficient that direct drive diesel motors. Electric motors are far superior to ICE but our current batteries aren’t as energy dense as hydrocarbon fuel at this point. But if we can discover a solution we could be the world’s biggest exporter.

   If China figures it out first, they could become the wealthiest nation on earth with their manufacturing abilities.

   Advancing society is a matter of national security.

5. Capitalism will always win out. When it’s economical viable then the industry changes. It’s coming, it just depends on how fast. They can slow it but the march of time & invention can overpower any policy.
