35 years ago in college, I did a report explaining why we wouldn't be switching to electric cars in the near future: because gasoline has an order of magnitude greater energy density than batteries. 35 years later, that situation hasn't changed much. I am hopeful that eventually someone will produce a cheap, easily manufacturable battery with greater energy density than gasoline, but that day may still be decades away. If electric cars are such a great idea, why do we see so few electric airplanes?
There isn't much commenting about Mazda's engine. Just a lot of penis measuring concerning which is bigger, EV or Gas. Personally, I'm looking forward to the new Mazda, and I'll probably buy one.
This is interesting, because as I understand it ( And I of course may be wrong) in the US, gas fired generation has come down in price enormously ( fracking, etc) compared to the old coal generation which has mostly gone offline due to costs.
My experience (with friends, I don't smoke myself) is the same as Geekmux: they tried vaping to quite smoking, tried reducing nicotine content, ended up vaping more and more as the nicotine content went down, couldn't wean themselves off it, and went back to cigarettes.
This! I've never gotten it: The cutting edge of technology, perfectly capable of implementing telecommuting, making companies with no set campus: and everyone piles into some of the most expensive real estate on the planet.
Spoken by someone without family to care for or a wish not to move. If you like where you live, increasing property values can be a curse. Not everything is bare dollar profit on the investment.
The city will never do that, as it will eventually lead to people realizing they don't NEED to have a presence in San Francisco, eventually moving somewhere else. San Francisco isn't magic, and that would kill the cachet of it all.
Instead of overturning prop 13, why not modify it to only include homeowners and not businesses and renters?
Every time I see a phrase like "Repuke" or "Dumbocrat", I realize I'm speaking with a moron. It's a nice indicator, sort of like a giant hat that tells me "Nothing this person says is of importance". It leaves my brain with more space and time to ponder important things, like cat videos.

Plus, authoritarian boot preventing something in the guise of environmentalism....say, we have that outside china as well!

You sound like you you look forward to that time. I hope I'm wrong. Because down that road is servitude and not being able to tie your own shoelace.

False dichotomy.
Remember "hammertime!"?
Aren't they the lettuce people?
Of course they do. They've been spied on for years, blithely. It's a face issue, and they don't want to look bad.
You realize you're arguing against sandwiches, right?\
No, no, you eat carbon. Or CO2, thereby reducing carbon in the atmosphere.
so, essentially, racists...
They will eventually all be racists...
Yes, that's what we want as a society: anything deemed "bad " to be banned.
Think a little about that. and where it leads.

Actually, it made me chuckle.
If you try this, a large stone boulder will immediately roll out of the wall and crush you.
