Try telling that you the people who used to live near the Fukushima or Chernobyl reactors. Of the people who live near Sellafield (or whatever it is called now), which has had numerous accidents that involved release of radioactive materials, and the many others:
but I have read more than once that large wind turbines will be at an energy deficit for nearly 20 years before they are able to reach a net positive in terms of energy produced vs spent in production and transportation
Perhaps you should be more skeptical of the articles you read. The fossil fuel industry has a lot of money to spend on misinforming people and it was obviously successful with you.
Your argument ignore a couple of important facts: 1. Electric cars are far more energy efficient than ICE vehicles.
2. There are a lot of electric vehicles in California (in fact, there may be more EVs in California than all the other states combined), where electricity generation has a higher proportion than the overall USA.
See the maps on this page. Note especially, states such as CA where an electric vehicle has an equivalent MPG of 109.
Since you appear to lack basic comprehension skills, welcome to my ignore list.
I have been consistent that this anti-competitive move by Adobe is NOT free market in action. You are the one that doesn't seem to be able to hold a consistent view.
I predict a much higher rate of refunds when it becomes clear that no Model 3 cars with the base configuration will be eligible for the Federal $7.5k rebate.
My point remains: companies don't always make money by hindering competition instead of improving quality, they do so only if government passes laws that makes hindering competition more profitable than improving quality.
Thank you for supporting my point that this is not in any way a free market in action.
You're saying you don't think they are for the benefit of society after all, and I tend to agree.
I don't see it as black and white. Copyright and patent laws are required for an advanced society. However, a copyright term that is over 100 years does not benefit any society.
it may come down to two reasons: control quality of content so that their upmixer is only used with their software; put an end to Auro-3D and strike a blow to DTS.
It's never about quality. It's always about hindering competition.
the model 3 does not sale for anywhere near 80k, it starts at 35k and the top end long range is like 44k, note the 44k module is the one that costs 28k to make, so about 16k profit.
Nope. You can't buy a base ($35k) model at this time and probably not for another 12 months.
The minimum price for a Model 3 is currently $49k, plus $1k for delivery (everywhere in the USA, including Fremont). You can add about $10k to that price today, if you add all the Autopilot options and the larger (and less efficient) wheels, so it maxes out at about $60k today.
Dual motors and performance options are coming and will increase the maximum possible price.
Don't forget that the only Model 3's sold to date cost at least $50k ($35k base, +$9k for the long range option/model, +$5k for the premium upgrade package, +$1k for delivery, even if you live in Fremont).
Tesla said: Oh crap, that's probably a bug in our regen breaking stuff--thanks for pointing that out.
I think Tesla blamed the ABS algorithms, not regeneration, because Teslas don't work that way (you don't get more regeneration by pressing the brake pedal).
I think they were trying to recover energy from breaking rather aggressively earlier. Some kind of balance between how hard the pads squeeze on the rotors so some breaking happens from magnet/coils to recharge the batteries.
I don't think Teslas work that way. You get max regeneration simply by lifting off the accelerator pedal, so the brakes are not modulated to provide more regeneration.

So, it should work well on you, then. OK, i'll try it.
Fuck Off!
Really? I should respect your ignorance?
The first link on Google when I searched for
"turbines net energy manufacture"

""Within a few months, a wind turbine generates enough electricity to pay back all of the energy it took to build it,"
The *very* *first* link.

Time to buy a 3-D printer?
Remember that 50% of the population have below-average intelligence.
No, it's diametrically opposed to how free markets are supposed to operate.
That "regard to their own interest" is supposed to drive them to compete to produce their products at lower cost and perhaps higher quality.
Dolby seeks to reduce competition, and hence drive up prices. This is a monopoly in action and it works only because of copyright and patent laws.
I think it is a tree of power thing.
People support the putative dictator because the dictator promises to give those people the power to shit on others.
This goes down all the way, historically, the lowest level being men dominating women.
It's never about quality. It's always about hindering competition.
$49k.
Today, you have to buy the Premium Upgrade package, which is another $5k.
Nope. You can't buy a base ($35k) model at this time and probably not for another 12 months.

Dual motors and performance options are coming and will increase the maximum possible price.
I think Performance models require the dual motor option, which is definitely hardware.
Name another manufacturer selling long-range electric vehicles at the current rate of Tesla. You can't because there isn't one.
Tesla now builds more Model 3s in a week than Chevy builds Bolts in a month.
Don't forget that the only Model 3's sold to date cost at least $50k ($35k base, +$9k for the long range option/model, +$5k for the premium upgrade package, +$1k for delivery, even if you live in Fremont).
That's how it works in CA today.
I think you just agreed with me.
The Model 3 has the same options, although they are named differently: standard and low.
I don't think either setting allows the car to modulate the brakes for regeneration.
I think Tesla blamed the ABS algorithms, not regeneration, because Teslas don't work that way (you don't get more regeneration by pressing the brake pedal).
I don't think Teslas work that way. You get max regeneration simply by lifting off the accelerator pedal, so the brakes are not modulated to provide more regeneration.
