This is why people put bull bars/grill guards on SUVs that never leave civilization. Mine were motivated at first by Idaho stops. But they are equally effective for pedestrians with cell phones.
That's something that engineers and STEM students in general eschew. Worse yet, look at all the coders out there that claim not to need even a CS education, let alone broader studies in social sciences, humanities, history, etc. So what we end up with is a bunch of idiot savants. Now throw in a pinch of the Dunning-Kruger effect and people think that because they are educated in one area, that carries over to other topics.
Just look to Seattle. The $15 Now movement (not even a UBI and not completely implemented yet) just drove rent prices through the roof and the bottom tier of our economy into tents under the interstate.
This sort of crap is pushed by big business and property developers. Instead of putting downward pressure on necessities, this just dumps money into the demand side of the economy, pushing prices and profits up.
I recently finished reading The Profiteers. About how Bechtel worked within and manipulated government policy to make a buck. I'm sure that in a few decades, someone will write about various players in the information business and how they played public policy and Congress to create an economic environment conducive to their success. New century, old game.
You never know when someone might mobilize an army of the dead. Never seen the Evil Dead series? Even our Pentagon made a plan for a zombie apocalypse.
Its a mix. Something like 80% of Hawaii's power comes from oil fired plants. But it could come from anywhere. And if it makes you feel good to believe that you are using the solar part, fine. But everyone else thinks the same thing and somebody has to be wrong.
Yes. If they parked it on the taxiway and let the sun charge it up. No, if they plugged a charger into the wall socket. Then the fuel would be (largely) oil (what they use for base load in Hawaii).
The entire exclusionary rule of evidence needs to change.
Right. Until you are some big business and some whistle-blower sneaks some damning internal memos out to the cops or regulators. Then it's 'Muh Constitutional rights!' So, no. Nothing will change. Because a couple of dead bodies in trunks and a bunch of children pimped out for perverts aren't worth nailing some manufacturer who skips QA testing.
Nope. Not going to happen for a long time for weight and recharge time reasons stated.
However, hybrid systems can be a thing. A couple of jet fuel powered engines with lots of excess generator capacity feeding electric ducted fans placed optimally on the aircraft. The aircraft is no longer constrained by the necessity of having large diameter fans to get a certain fan area.

maybe their S.O. starts a heated argument via g-chat.
That's when my phone battery dies.
Stop verbing nouns. It weirds the language.
Please, not the Daily Mail
Our town already employs a guy with a pickup truck and shovel to clear possums and raccoons off the road when they get hit. This is just job security.

No problem. Just ask Greece.
No, wait! Scratch that.

Snu-snu.

Not them. They have rights.
Yo dawg!

In this scenario the sun itself is the fuel.
Yes. If they parked it on the taxiway and let the sun charge it up. No, if they plugged a charger into the wall socket. Then the fuel would be (largely) oil (what they use for base load in Hawaii).
We just finance this with a tax on venture capitalists. Right, Mr. Altman?
Flying cars. Even that would have been a start.

In Soviet Russia, Siberia finds you!
has a nuclear arsenal and faces hostile neighbors
Texas?
Don't forget Siberia.
