I'm curious how this affects various power grids. I mean, in California (and I assume other states / cities) during various times of the year we're prone to brownouts, encouraged to use appliances during designated hours to conserve energy, keep the heat / AC at certain levels, etc.
If someone with an electric car battery needs juice during an outage, are they shit out of luck?0 -

If someone with an electric car battery needs juice during an outage, are they shit out of luck?not if you have a house equipped with wind and solar. Actaully isn't crazy or unattainable to have totally off grid houses. They are everywhere.Plus if you're worrying about blackouts or brownouts there are bigger issues.0 -

I can see where shelling out $10 - 15K may pay off over time. For me, it wouldn't be a priority - well, it's moot, really.

Do you mean bicycle or motor bike? If bicycle, I'll agree with that, but in that case it's your own effort and strength and expanding your limits that's exhilarating. Just pushing the gas peddle on a vehicle is boring.Give Peas A Chance…0 -

As long as we keep motorcycles.I used to think motorcycles were cool. In high school, along side all my Hendrix and Fillmore West, Avalon Ballroom and Winterland posters and hand bills, I had a poster of Peter Fonda from Easy Rider on a bike and another of Steve McQueen from The Great Escape.Any more though, I mostly hate them. Where I live, the majority of riders have reamed out the mufflers so they are loud as fuck. I've had my ears dinged countless time- each time making my tinnitus worse. They roar up main street setting off car alarms. One bike went by so loudly once it literally busted out a window in one of the other shops in town. No fun."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
