  1. Re:Corrects its own headline in the third sentence on Electric Cars Are Already Cheaper To Own and Run Than Petrol Or Diesel, Says Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It's much worse than that.

    Know how humans can only see an almost negligible part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

    That's a similar plight here.

    Americans see electric cars only from the time they are brand new until they no longer work.

    They are blind to the fossil fuel input needed to mine, extract, refine, process, deliver raw materials for electric cars.

    They fail; to account for fossil fuel's role in maintaining electric cars and they fail to factor in fossil fuel's part in disposing of or recycling the components of deceased electric cars.

    You are excused for not knowing this, but I'm a student of Manning, Snowden, and Winner and have been covering those stories (and other less high-profile) since they surfaced.

    There are a lot of other /. ers who have been doing the same.

    Your post clearly demonstrates that you are late to the party; have invested NO time investigating, and have an agenda.

    I'm not going to educate you because you could have done that for yourself.

    You know ... like we did.

    I served in this man's Navy and went on a NATO cruise around the Med, so I know all about that shit.

    It has not one goddam thing to do with the fact that North Korea fired at/over Japan.

    The US will not be obliged to help Japan until AFTER Japan is attacked.

    Until then, it's incumbent upon Japan to protect its sovereignty.

    There are a lot of fucking countries who have reciprocal defense agreements with each other.

    That has nothing to do with this story.

    Why bring America into it and leave out all the others?
