    Your point is only valid for OTR truckers, but there are plenty of trucks that are only used inside a small area. Take fuel trucks that deliver gas stations in and around a big city for example. They are the ones that would benefit from being electric, as ironic as it sounds - provided, of course, that electric trucks are allowed for dangerous goods transportation.

    The two axis system is useful for a more precise classification of the fringe, but for current politics of most of the first world countries one axis usually is enough because that fringe is usually a tiny (albeit vocal) minority. On the two axis system that one axis would run diagonal from the not quite bottom left (where on that picture democratic socialism and anarcho-communism share their border) to the not quite top right (shared border of capitalism and fundamentalism). For USA this axis wouldn't work, though, because the whole left side is missing, but on the right side there is a much larger variety of options. Hence you can take the two dimensional political compass, remove the whole left half and you are good.

    You know what is really depressing? When psychotherapists think like that despite knowing it better.

  10. Actually it could work. Take the Sikorsky H-34. It has a ~1100kW engine that weighs about that much dry, so with lubricating oil and a part of the drive train it would weigh about as much as the Tesla battery and a 1100kW electric motor with the required drive train and wiring. So yep, it would work for a real helicopter, but the range would be very short.

    It is not the right tool because they are supposed to be glued with adhesive tape so they can be disassembled again without breaking the rear glass. Unfortunately fitting adhesive tape in good quality is really hard to find.

    So let me get this straight. When domestic terrorists disrupt the electrical network by cutting down power lines that lead from mainland to Crimea, it is Russian ineptitude and incompetence. When Russians actually try to build a new power plant in Crimea - after decades of neglect of Ukrainian government no less - it is also wrong and must not be allowed. When a country does not abide sanctions imposed on itself by a third party it is wrong again and a sign of a corrupt justice system.
    It is almost like arabs blaming jews for everything bad happening to them.

    It is not that I am naive, it is that you are uneducated, like you have already shown with saying that Russia has neither a constitution nor a bill of rights, and now just trying to cover it up with semantics. Yep, you are uneducated, because you also don't know that the FSB doesn't do foreign intelligence, that is the job of the SVR. The only real difference between the duties of the FSB and the FBI is that the FSB is also responsible fоr the border and the coast guards. The rest - the fight against domestic terrorism and organised crime, counterintelligence, hostage rescue - is very much the same.
