"I think the bigger question, which I didn't see answered in TFA, is whether these things are truly better than ICE vehicles on the environment."
This has been discussed many times over many years, I just dont happen to have any
links for this at the moment.
And don't forget - there are tons and tons of Lithium in Afghanistan!
I worked with the man who invented "Independant suspension" for vehicles.
He did it as a contractor for Chrysler, then the next year, all the other car
companies stole the idea and now it is on EVERY car out there.
Yes, get a generator with some kind of auto-start feature.
At an ISP I started, we put the generator on the roof.
We still had some UPS's, because a generator is not "instant on."
And get some of the UPS's that you add External batteries to, as you can manage those batteries.
" the body panels were made of hemp fiber and resin."
Sorry - Jack got it wrong.
I went to the Henry Ford Archives and looked at the files themselves.
George Overley actually talks about the mistake others made about Hemp plastic in that car. Dr Overley said that any of 7 oil pants COULD be used, but that they used Soy. It is in a Mechanical Engineering mag in 1952.
The plants I can remember on his list are:
soy,
corn,
hemp,
kenaf,
castor, palm
I have the book somewhere....
sorry I can't remember the ones Dr Overley talked about.
Henry Ford the great had 24,000 acres of Soy all around his
estate in Ypsilanti, Michigan. His airport was called "Willow Run."
They invented the Soy margarine there, among all the other inventions.
In the early days - 7 plants were named and shown
to be excellent oil sources.
And these oil sources can be combined with a hardener
to become a "plastic"
Soy oil was one of the first.
George Overley was the chemist working for Henry Ford
to create many plant based components for Ford cars
and trucks.
Around 30 different components were plant based until
Henry Ford was kicked out of the company he started.
The most famous is the Soy plastic bumpers that are mostly mistaken as Hemp Plastic by Jack Herrer in
"The Emperor Wears No Cloths"
This kind of gov't BS just makes me angry.
They can't get the economy working - like it is really up to them....
So they distract us with more stupid laws.
What next?
Make something that grows out of the ground naturally illegal?
In Las Vegas, a few years ago, I was taking pictures off a
pedestrian bridge. A cop came by on a bicycle, so of course,
I took a picture of him. He turned around and was rude.
He told me it was illegal to take pictures of cops in Las Vegas.
I said "I never heard of that. "
He said, "You want me to take you in and show you?"
I said, "No Thanks, I am working right now."
just for a piece of useless info:
"American Idol" aint the first one.
"Pop Star" and "Pop Idol" are the first one.
check out the wikipedia for all your useless info.

I remember the first VHS and Beta movies costing $60 to $90 to own a copy. The used ones were $20.

plug-in hybrids are after market.
Well, that is soon to be the law - and I would hope that it would apply to ever camera including this one and the ones on the Hubble.

And presidential inaugural balls!
I think it was called
"Your Money or Your Life: You make the choice"
I like the 87-era digilizations.
And I am hoping that the newer digitizations are even better!
Well, I saw another TV Show with contrary results... So, which is true and accurate?
Sorry - I don't believe you.
