    "Hell, you can even weld two halves of two salvage vehicles together to make one that works. That's called ownership. " thats sounds more like a accident waiting to happen and "rip off the customer" territory. Knowledge is the thing, if you don;t know what you are doing with ICE, you won't be able to repair it either. You might want to watch this on how to modify a Tesla https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    absolute bollox. we're cheering him on, even more now as it will get up Trumps' nose. The only problem I've got with the car, is that they look too big on UK roads

    if she was a man and said all the same things, then she'd probably have trounced Trump more convincingly. There is still too much "she's a woman and should be seen and not heard" christian voters out there.

    Did they pay it back via money earned or did profit from sales of stock owned by government in those companies? i can;t seem to find a definitive answer, they all seem to be smoke and mirror explanations.

    Perhaps you should have taken note of the scientists instead of the media regarding the "cooling" - here is a good place to start https://skepticalscience.com/i...
    A lot of times where things do not happened as predicted are due to the predictions being addressed with possible solutions.

    Solar and Wind farms with battery storage go up a lot quicker than nuclear and coal plants and can go more or less anywhere. Some of the biggest problems with nuclear is who pays for it to be commissioned and then decommissioned when its run it course and how long before that land is safe?

    Solar and wind energy is cheaper than coal now in quite a few parts of the world and with the emergence of decent storage, its reliable. Its a long game, it will just take a while to get all the dots joined up as you would expect with a new energy infrastructure. It took long enough for the old infrastructure to get near decent and reliable once they finally decided whether to use AC or DC.

    Some places may not be able to take advantage of the renewables at this point in time so they'll just have to continue with the pollution option, but as more renewables come online and they will eventually contribute a smaller and smaller percentage of pollution so it shouldn't matter too much.

    you'll need to time travel to about 2100 to see if the predictions pan out. Its a slow process in human terms which, a bit like evolution deniers, many can't seem to grasp.
