Where do you live ? For those monthly 300 to 500 mile trips I can rent a car from Enterprise for $14/day. Even if I pick it late the worst is $25/day.
I would sure rather pay $25/day 12 times a year and only spend $800 a year on the electrical costs of a Leaf ( EPA estimate ) the rest of the year.
Find an online interest calculator and pretend to invest the savings from an electric car compared to an average gas car for 20 years; it can be the cost of a college tuition or 1/2 the price of my house when it was new. Don't forget that money spent is after tax - you really had to earn more then what you spent.
One of the clever things about electric cars - and some new gas cars - is they shut down their engines when you are just sitting. With an electric car if you are not moving forward you are not using battery - with some small ( radio, lights, heater ) drain.
With an electric car... if your range is 90 Km... it pretty much means you will drive 90 Km not like a car that can just sit and idle and use up fuel.
39 years ago I wrote my 9th grade science paper on nuclear power - I was a fan of it then and still am. 39 years since I wrote that paper the safe disposal of nuclear operations leftovers has not been resolved.
Your posting suggests that 9000 acres were destroyed , rather it looks like 100 feet per pole diameter maximum -big deal... hows that road(s) you are driving on ?
Nuclear is unable to safely store or guarantee safe operations 39 years ago, today or any time in the near future.
I'd rather have a wind farm failure than a nuclear plant failure any day of the week.
That is a read only version of a conference - you are losing the potential "write" aspect or the ability to actually ask questions, get your designs vetted, hear others standing in the same general area who have done it before with/without success - you always want to go up after the sessions and listen to the folks from audience. You think you invented whatever you are wanting to do first - nope. Thats sometimes the most valuable parts and its not in the pdfs.
A conference every year from same vendor ? Maybe not, A conference every other year ? Perhaps more likely especially if there are changes in your field that your company is impacted by.
I am typing this on a 2013 Retina 2.7 w/16Gb. I did not entirely buy it for the more or less 3% price difference with an HP/Dell. I bought it because of everything else it does better and being more integrated than a Windows 7 / Windows 8.x laptop and the 5 to 7 hour battery life. Your belief that a Pro is too expensive is not accurate when you compare the 512Gb SSD, 16Gb ram, 802.11 ac, 2 * 10Gb Thunderbolt ports to any other ( who else makes a comparable device ? ) vendors platforms. I am a network engineer with multiple 10G network core and edge environments, please tell me who else makes a laptop that I can attach 2 10Gb adapters and do data capture at wire speed ? Oh,
And I want 2K+ graphics on my desktop monitor while at the same time having retina level quality on my laptop. any one ? No, I couldn't find one either. Pseudo comparable HP Z series laptops have spinning disk, 4 Gb ram, single 1Gb NIC and run $2800. Adding Retina level display to an HP costs $600 and a 512Gb SSD is not even an option - the largest HP SSD is 256Gb.
Formula F1 cars may be expensive, but for the people who know how to use them correctly - they are worth every penny.
And the things on my feet are called "shoes". I can't cut bread with them and I should know better than to try. I want a web mail client. I want it on my phone, my laptop, my ipad, my desktop, my powerbook, my...whatever... And no, I don't want outlook - I use that at work and its "just" a smart imap-like tool with integrated IM.
You can actually get the document they produced and see the names and organizations the individuals are from. I did not count the unique schools but their are a bunch... probably 36
the production of ethanol from corn requires less - and it is shrinking all the time - water than the production of gasoline from oil. I live near the ogalalla aquifer so I share some of your concerns but from an overall water requirements standpoint, ethanol is not the boogeyman. Perhaps shipping the corn to a sea area and using desalinated water might be a better approach.
So you would divvy up your system into a 64Gb SSD C: and a 1Tb 7200 D:
blazing fast c drive, equivalent suck d drive I would spend the same and get twice the capacity of a solution that on average...is twice or more faster. FOR EVERYTHING not just the c drive. My photos are faster, my vmdk are faster, my compiles are faster,... everything.
My desktop and 2 of my laptops are Lenovos. Up until this year my best/favorite devices. OpenSuse 12.3 and Windows 7 - 32bit & 64 bit.
I am writing this on a 3 week old MacPro 2.7 GHz, 512 Gb flash and 16 Gb ram... and retina display. I'll be hooking it up today to an HP ZR30W so I get 2560x1600 AND 2880x1800 - my 50 year old eyes are in heaven. And I get more IOPs than my VPLEX or Nimble storage can deliver.
It is singularly the best workstation I have ever had in my life. And my experience covers everything from an Intel Z80 running CPM 30 years ago to racks of Sun Enterprise servers on Solaris 10. I used most of the AT&T 3B and the Amdahl stuff too. Lisa, Fat Macs and Multias were cool as well.
wanna dis it - sure, go ahead - you clearly don't own one. But its the best box I've ever had.
Your comment that "regular" users can't do..... whatever is immaterial when all users are the admin of the box.
By default how many Windows NT, 2K, XP, Vista, 7 users are administrators in a home/small business setting ? 100% ? By default how many Linux users are administrators in any setting ? 0 %
Those 2 numbers kind of contribute to the issues with one and the benefit of the other.

Now don't electric car(s) deserve a second look ?

You should try to watch the John Oliver show on PayDay lenders.
In Texas the very legislators in charge of the laws own PayDay lending businesses.
Maybe the first day they entered the Statehouse they were clean.
Both are equally important.

I have my Google Fiber T-Shirt and am counting the days until they get here.
And I have tried the other providers as well. Not even close.
Apple prices of course. VW is already sold in China
When VW started making cars in the US the price dropped.
Wonder how that will work for prices in China ?
