So - i kinda was under the impression that balance was the best thing for the environment.  So why the push for all electric?  And why mandatory by the government?  Tough to favor a business in such a way....

I haven't look at this in a while.  I know that for me, when I bought a new car the end of 2020...just a small sedan...not a big SUV...I looked at some EV and decided against it due to 1) Long haul travel (I don;t do a ton of it, but when I do I try not to stop much...the charging time and mileage was a killer) 2) Cost - it was more expensive then at least 3) Less so, but some concern about paying for a charger setup at my house...added cost.

I can easily be on board though should the infrastructure get into place, should the mileage per charge increase a couple hundred miles and the cost are reasonable.  I had initially thought I would be buying electric in 2020 time frame.  And I full expect it to be a major player for me in 2026-2028.

Don’t you have to do two things at once? You need to improve infrastructure and increase purchases of electricic vehicles at the same time.

you are scaling both up as market penetration increases.  If anything a law signals the support for that infrastructure to keep moving. 

no mandates means no push. There are a lot of things that need to happen.  Electric vehicle companies are supplying cars not the charging network.  If they know there is an infrastructure and a push to get people in those cars, then they can confidently increase production.  

An EV relies on utilising a public utility network so it’s automatically a private/public endeavour and I would think the government needs to be involved. If everyone bought an EV today the grid would crash. That needs to be sorted and not by the car manufacturer 

people can’t agree on anything, it’s like herding cats. If anything the government is giving us a direction rather than everyone running around scattershot.  

We got 16 years to figure out how to change all our lightbulbs so 10 years does seem scary. I get that 

Who's scared?  

Not you specifically

Change is scary. My in laws have a closet full of incandescent bulbs to prove that. They did adopt led eventually but they seriously bought out the store in probably 2010

if it changed what you are familiar with it’s tough for a lot of people.

To get this back on the topic of a Biden....how about Jill's shoes for her trip to the disaster area? 

I preferred Deathsantis’ boots. Both fetching and confidence inspiring.

Thread integrity please.


And of course I'm joking, but my huge Dem friend sent me a picture with a WTF....a Melania moment for Jill.

Well, were Jill’s choice of footwear worse than this? I particularly like the National Guardsman or Active Duty soldier’s WTF is that expression.

Dressed like he’s going to work hauling debris

Like anyone believes that. I’d rather they not wear costumes. I know it’s October 

is that a name tag?

Guess he might forget who he is now and again. What a dweeb. And if he was going to haul debris or be doing any kind of work in the storm damage, OSHA might want to have a word with him for his choice of footwear. Oh wait, it’s Flo Rida, they don’t care if you step on rusty nails and puncture your foot. Or is it that federal and state workplace safety rules are suspended in disaster zones?

Boots like that could very well have steel shanks and steel-toes, etc.  PLenty or work boots can look just like that.

I wonder how many illegal immigrants will be working to clean up the hurricane destruction in Flo Rida? I’ll bet Deathsantis can’t get enough.

A lot:
“They’re arriving from New York, from Louisiana, from Houston and Dallas,” says Saket Soni, executive director of the nonprofit Resilience Force, which advocates for thousands of disaster response workers. The group is made up largely of immigrants, many of whom are undocumented

good quote:
 “What you have now is basically immigrants who are sort of traveling white blood cells of America, who congregate after hurricanes to heal a place, and then move on to heal the next place,”

Send them all to Martha’s Vineyard! DC, particularly to VP Harris’ house! Brandon’s Delaware home! Stealing jobs from god fearing ‘Muricans, outrageous!

Somebody has gotta build that 500k fence around the beach house

They oughta build a barrier on the southern border with the debris. Just keep adding to it with each passing hurricane.
