Let me see if I understand this right.
1) You are so scared of the guy that you do not show your login.
2) Here is a guy that has been critical to 5 companies being successful, but he is a PR firm.
3) how many entrepreneurs have 5 of 5 companies be successes?
4) how many entrepeneurs can you list that were critical in changing society in 3 companies, let alone 4?
So, why are you so afraid to face facts? Why are you so afraid to show who you are? My guess is that you are simply another troll that is paid to lie here.
First off, the new reactor have lifetimes of 30-50 with no refuel. Look up the S9G reactor.
Secondly, within 5 years, China will have a navy with far more ships than america.
Third, the world, esp america, is not at peace. For all intents and purposes, we are currently in WW3.
Fourth, by going to small ships, you need a lot of them. In addition, by building them small, more single mission, it means much lower costs. Think of spacex with their new rockets and SATs.
how funny.
By offering up a subsidy on EVs that will charge at nighttime, it would help drop America demand for oil which would lower YOUR price for your ICE car.
In addition, by that EV charging at nighttime, it would either lower the price of electricity or keep it from increasing. The reason is that the utility would get to sell more of their electricity, but at a time that they normally do not have customers.
So, the subsidies to get GOOD EVs being built will come back in aces for all of us.
And yet, ppl like you would rather continue to subsidize oil/nat gas/etc. to the billions / year that we currently do.
Yes, it would increase a bit. Not much. The reason is that nearly all utilities would remain on baseload powers, rather than on-demand systems (which are expensive). BUT, the price of electricity would either remain the same (i.e. no inflation) or even go down, because the costs of the grid and baseload is better utilized around the clock.
Nope.
Once we stop subsidizing oil/gas/coal, then our total bill will go up for sometime while the economy re-adjust to real expensive oil/nat gas. The good news is that in less than 10 years, we would be importing no extra energy, and our taxes would be way down.
Sadly, we could make it so that we imported no energy in less than 5 years with some smart policies. And at the same time, cut our co2 emissions sot hat few can claim that America is the big polluter (we are not, China is; but the refrain will not go away ).
I think that the real problem with the zumwalt is that it is too big, meant to do too many things, and is based on diesel.
The DDx should be a cruiser, powered by a small nuke that lasts 30-50 years, has railgun/lasers, and then has the ability to handle mission specific items. They should require no more than a crew of 50 or less to run the normal systems.
And most of all, we should be building those, like we built the liberty ships. Lots of them.
No, the Model X is rated to hold 8 adults: 2 in front, 3 in the middle and 3 in the back. Yes, it can easily hold 2 mastiffs which I seriously doubt that you own
And the X will have 691 hp and 687 lb. ft. And that torque is at 0 MPH. IOW, it is right where you need it. In addition, the motors will not only be liquid cooled, but will actually have an active heat exchanger since it is expected to pull a great deal more than something like a suburban (which is pretty much a junk vehicle designed to carry a bunch of brats for suburban moms ).
And as to the grid, get real. Multiple studies have been done. Other than in the northwest, the grid is rock solid to handle moving 100% of America's vehicles over to it, as long as not more than 15% are charged in the daytime (which is why I hate hybrids).
yes. I do.
And to be fair, the 7.5K subsidy for tesla is a small %, compared to those that get 7.5K for a 28K nissan leaf or 7.5 K for a 35K prius or 35K highlander hybrid.
Actually, if we drop all of the energy subsidies, your money spent will go WAY up. The good news though, is that AE would suddenly take off since it is no longer competing against heavily subsidized fossil fuel.
If you own an electric car and do not go with the smart meter, then you are really not that bright.
The fact is, that only a few utilities do not offer cheaper prices for running nighttime electricity.
Nearly all of them WANT you to drive electric cars that you charge at nighttime.
First off, nobody uses suburbans for ag. productivity.
And yes, the coming Model X can not only carry 5 adults humans, 2 mastiffs, and plenty of cargo, all while towing MORE than your suburban.
However, it does not go 600 miles on a charge. That is true. However, you pay over 100 TODAY for that 600 miles, AND will pay over $200 for that, when gas prices return. OTOH, Tesla will be free to move around the nation.
actually, all of the tesla ones are located right by restaurants. Not necessarily, in their lot, but.....
Personally, I think that Tesla should cut a deal with some of the large truck stop chains. Most of them have 24x7 restaurants and are ideal for putting in Chargers.
That is why we need to change the subsidy on 'EV's.
First off, hybrids are NOT EVs. They do not deserve a subsidy since they are going to cost America more money in our electricity.
Secondly, we should offer up a subsidy of say $5K for cars with less than 100 MPC (epa rated), $10K for cars less than 150 MPC, and 15K for all cars greater than/equal 150 MPC.
With such a structure, it will get car makers to do the right things.
Here in Colorado, I can go all over i-70 with our coming tesla. By the end of this year, it is expected that we will be able to drive anywhere in the state and not worry about having access to a tesla super charger. However, at this time, we DO have other chargers available at other locations. They are just slow.
First off, Tesla's SCs are about to jump to 160 KW range.
Secondly, there are 2 other types of fast DC chargers. That leads to the US having more than 770 stations with these. Go to the search options and change to DC fast only.
Third, if you change the connectors to Tesla and J1772, you can see what the Tesla has as options. As such, this shows that Tesla is NOT a joke, or a niche product.
However, the others ARE niche products because if you turn off Tesla on the connectors and turn on J1772, along with chademo, you realize that massive car companies have NO intention of building out a real network.
What is needed is to get Apple and Google to build new electric car companies predicated on Tesla electric. That will force all others to join on due to fear of losing ground to companies that are superior to theirs.
Rather than targeting walgreens, where ppl go in for 10-20 minutes (and they only have level 2), these should be located at malls, zoos, museums, garages, and most of all, restaurants. In these places, most ppl will stay for at least an hour. Level 2s make great sense for the majority of that. Restaurants along highways would ideally put in level 3s so as to charge for going cross country.
Sadly, American subsidies on AE are being done poorly.

So, you do not believe that he had ANYTHING to do with any of these businesses?
And that is in spite of what others in the company claim?
And yet, he was not an expert on internet banking, solar panel installation, electric cars, launch systems, or satellites, but became experts in all.
And yet, he continues to have a massive backlog, even though they are now producing at a rate of over 50,000 cars / year.
As to China, that was a horrible mistake for him. The only way that they will buy is if he moves manufacturing there.
Neo-cons/tea* will soon be here, but they posted right away.

you said tokyo. That has 453. Now, you limit it to 1 little bitty ward, and think scream that it only has 1 in it.
What a waste indeed.
yes. I do.

Nope. Not in Tesla. It handles the heat properly. In fact, it is the ONLY car that does that.
First off, nobody uses suburbans for ag. productivity.

Simply type it in. You have over 453 in your city.

If we change our subsidy structure to encourage 150 MPC, it will lead to electric cars bring the primary cars, while gas becomes the secondary .
