Not much different to the Bible or Torah. When your bigotry demonises a complete sector of society for the faults of a few, then you should be excluded from society as well as you just have hatred to others different to yourself
But now in the age of "I want to be famous without any talent", successful songs are now easier to copy and more and more talentless people have access to the tools to do it
"And still miniscule." - are you expecting an infrastructure change to happen in a week? get some perspective, it taken decades for fossil power to reach nearly every home and still hasn't managed to get to 100% yet
"So what major power grid relies solely on renewables, doesn't use nuclear, coal, natgas, or other "bad" fuel sources for base load?" - same answer to previous
there are at least 40 cities claiming 100% renewable power which is not bad in such a short time and considering the knock backs renewables get form luddite and ignorant politicians - https://www.fastcompany.com/40...
but don't forget those subsidies are coming out of your pocket. they are definitely useful to get new tech off the ground and running. subsidies for old fossil should have died years ago.
Not when there are alternatives like solar, hydro, battery, nuclear etc. If you are just replying on one power generation source, you are doing it very wrong. I'd expect the power generators will be advised of "calms" due to happen by the weather stations then allowing them to crank up a traditional power station. Gas is only minutes to start up and get to full power, coal and nuclear will take hours to get to be useful so they are normally on 24 hours a day.
That report seems to only point to retail prices so if the power companies are not passing on the cuts in generation costs, thats where the fault lies. But then again, i'd guess the first generations of fossil powered power supply was only available to the rich.
This is what I don't understand. Tesla ranges are almost hundreds of miles less than other cars at the base level.
Irrelevant, if you have home charging, you plug in every night (if you want) and there is no need to queue at a gas station on your way to your destination.
Nobody talks about how you must plug in your Tesla every single night, ideally, for optimal use locally. That adds up to 10+ HOURS of plugging and unplugging in your car every year.
Yo don't have to plug in every night (depends on you daily mileage) and its smart enough to turn off the charger when full. And if you only do short journeys, it'll be a short time charging
And for long trips, which--while aren't common--happen, and the car actively works against you there.
1. You have psychological range anxiety with a range of 200-260 miles on any significant long trip.
Thats your personal irrational fear, you'll get over it
2. You must wait 15+ minutes for a significant charge. So all the speed advantage of your car pretty much is wasted.
If you do long journeys, you have to stop for a piss/meal/coffee (in any order)
3. You pay a premium for all this. I would expect to pay less than your average car for this privilege.
Its NEW tech, i remember the prices of CD players when they first came out
A Hybrid is vastly more attractive to me. A used Prius is 30% of the cost of a Tesla and it'll last easily 5-10 years before needing a new battery, which would still only cost you another $4-6K, giving you decade(s) more use out of it. And 400+ miles of range.
Good, thats a solution for you but you are way off on the price of a new hybrid battery.
I just can't figure it out other than people love new things?
You should be thanking these people because if they didn't buy the "new" things and push the boundaries and build the market for you, you'll still be walking or riding a horse everywhere as ICE would be a pipe dream.
Its a pity that more posters don't do the research Rei does, its a subject he seems to enjoy and you could learn something if you read his posts. I'd rather see more informative posts like Rei's than childish troll posts that pollute this forum from idiots that seem to do no research at all.
Slashdot Mirror
ROFLMAO.. that is all that post deserves
ROFL.... thats the best i can do at that post. Want to post a link to how many ICE vehicles were on the road when they first came out?
ask for a drink with less ice.
oh jeez, using the Daily Mail as a trusted factual source is your problem.
"Tommy Robinson" is NOT a journalist by any stretch of the imagination, just an islamaphobe.
At least he has a nickname to which we can attribute posts to. Moaning about a "troll" as an AC doesn't quite work.
read this then and see if it matches your "idea" https://www.smithsonianmag.com...
Hydro is NOT considered a renewable is some states? ROFL, more fool them
Go somewhere else to fuel your bigoted conspiracy theories. try the ends of the earth but be careful, you might fall off the edge.

Lock up Tommy Robinson (and his bigot mates) and throw away the key
http://gridwatch.co.uk/ - maybe you should check this site now and again - renewables 19.31%

One bag of coal is not a major power source either - its needs constant replenishment forever and ever
they don't ever mention the commission/decommission costs either or that the taxpayer has to foot that bill
did that lobby also mention getting rid of the biggest bird killers - cats?

lets wait until charging stations have been around as long as gas stations for a true comparison to see just how many there will be on a journey
He corrected that post. His informative posts negate the bullshit the ignorant anti-tesla trolls post

Virtually every car manufacturer has had safety recall notices out on its vehicles. At least the brakes worked.
oh no... Trump has found his way onto /.
