The Leaf seems like a nice car but let's not kid ourselves here, it's not a long trip vehicle.
Tesla does 300+ miles, rental cars for the occasional trip and hybrids for people who do mixed journeys. Hydrogen vehicles for the future for regular long trips.
A very disingenuous post - taking the cost from the middle of the nuclear life-cycle.
$50 for nuclear does not include initial costs and quite likely also omits some waste storage costs and is hugely optimistic about decommissioning costs. The $50 is for power stations that are roughly 30 years old and so have paid off their construction costs and haven't yet hit the age where increasing maintenance costs makes them prohibitively expensive. Some nuclear power stations apply to extend their licenses and then still close done because of the escalating maintenance costs.
NEW Nuclear from $100-200 per MWh and $100 is highly optimistic rather than realistic. NEW Wind starts at $36 per MWh ($25 + 10 years of subsidy). Price is falling, but so cheap now, not much room to fall further. NEW Solar starts at $50 to $70 per MWh and that price is plummeting.
Going forwards there is no comparison between today's wind and solar or nuclear, renewables are far cheaper including without subsidy.
Nuclear and renewables are both inflexible, both need solutions for this. It's either one or the other, they do not complement each other.
And this is without going into waste issues or the crazy high reprocessing costs or the fact that humans are clearly not capable of working with nuclear power without making a constant stream of mistakes and corner cutting..
I installed it because my phone battery was draining a lot faster than it should, and it worked, the battery went back to draining very slowly in standby.
And the point is battery doctor does the exact same thing that this article claims is new and amazing - it isn't. And battery doctor is free.
Stupidest battery drain cause - if you try to send a text with a (multi-media) smiley to a phone that doesn't support it then it fails to get sent and then drains your phone battery fast!!! There is no notification that the text didn't go without going back to the text and seeing it's still trying to send (forever). Battery doctor didn't solve that and I'll bet the new software doesn't either.
Battery doctor already does this, I've had it on my phone for a year or two, it simply terminates one or two dozen apps that somehow run themselves for no good reason - has a whitelist too.
Androids flaw is allows apps more control than it allows users.
Not if you live in most parts of England, UK, housing is simply too expensive for the majority of people to just move to where their job is - typically in the expensive part of the cities.
Making employers pay for miles commuted would result in a massive CO2 output reduction, traffic reduction and would encourage employers to locate where people live rather than in the middle of the city.
Where is the rest? Talk about cherry picking. And EU is 2nd after US in the chart.
And employment is down in the US during that period, easy to sack a million people short term and claim productivity is up, but it's a quick buck at the expense of long term profit.
People don't go flashing bright lights into drivers eyes. People don't jam GPS signals, people don't jam radio signals, people don't throw poison into water supplies. And people won't spend thousands and wonder round shining high-tech lasers into cars.
That's nice but the simple fact is a lot of people simply aren't responsible enough to drive safely and policing the roads is not effective and doesn't remove them at least here in the UK, where you can kill someone and oops sorry, slap on the wrist.
You like driving, fine, do it on a racetrack or private land is my attitude for the future. Self driving cars will likely be 80-90% safer and even more for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders etc.
Or the compromise could be the car senses when you've lost concentration and you lose control of the car for the rest of the journey.
It helps disabled people who can't drive. It helps blind people. It helps old people. It helps young people. It helps people who haven't passed their driving test. It helps people who are too tired to drive. It helps people who are too drunk to drive. It helps people who shouldn't drive because they are on medication. It helps people who simply don't want to drive and would rather talk on the phone or do work. It even helps cyclists and pedestrians because the roads will be safer.
I sincerely look forwards to the day when drivers are legally confined to racetracks and private land.
The actual solution is "stop spewing so much shit into the air", but that's hard to do and very expensive.
The alternative is more expensive - shutting down factories / telling people they can't drive to work. Not really a long term solution or any kind of decent solution. All it does is negate some of the worst pollution on the worst days, it doesn't address the problem that many Chinese cities have - a constant huge pollution problem.
Addressing the problem properly will create jobs and lower health costs.

That installation price is extortionate, UK and Germany panel installations are a fraction of the cost.
Lack of competition, more demand than supply and onerous red tape costs are likely the problem.

No new nuclear power station can supply energy at $50 per MW, that's pure fantasy.
The numbers I linked for renewables are based on agreed contracts.
Show the evidence for $50. You can't.
