no, its not a false equivalency. the christian violence problem may have earlier with things like the crusades and inquisitions but movements/advancements like the Enlightenment and science helped quell the christian nonsense. The crusaders way the crusaders acted cold be seen as the model for ISIS idiots. Post crusades the christian nonsense was driven by the "normal" god- fearing person whereas the current violent islam problem is being done by extremists who are basically gangsters using the religion as an excuse.
"Christians do not kill apostates nor tax/enslave non-Christians, nor throw homosexuals off rooftops or stone women to death who were raped." - yeah, right, they never burnt or drowned witches or anything like that, people were never stoned to death even though its an instruction in the bible, people were never enslaved, check how the cathars were treated in france,.
that fear is no longer as real as it used to be but still affects some people. the main concern is how you safely decommission a nuclear power plant (using chernobyl and fukishima as examples) and just how much it costs to both commission and decommission.
"Switch everyone to electric cars overnight and there won't be enough grid capacity to handle the additional load." -you don't believe in realistic target do you. but i can make the unrealistic same claim to destroy yours.
"Give everyone solar panels and battery storage overnight and there will be enough grid capacity to handle the additional load."
its early days so they will cost more but the ongoing costs offset that. Its a city report so the health side of things are taken into consideration. All cities either have EVs or are testing them or at least compiling cost/benefit reports
"Money should not go to the Saudis" - agreed but so more reason to get renewable home grown power.
"they spend billions in spreading their religious zeal to mosques around the world" - not unlike all the missionaries the catholics sent around the world to indoctrinate
i doubt it, a bus takes a lot of passengers at one go and if you replace each passenger with a small vehicle, you'll have city grid lock in no time especially when one breaks down. Your "final destination" non stop is not realistic, what about all the thousands of "final destinations" before your stop that have to stop to let someone off (unless you've got a 1000 lane highway of course)
I stopped reading the source when i read this paragraph (and comments) and seeing as the report is over 3 years old and that is a looong time in this field. "Electric cars have higher manufacturing emissions than normal cars. Electric cars also use electricity that has its own footprint. And put together these two factors are a ‘dirty little secret‘ that negate any climate benefit of electric cars!"
I can't see that happening in cities where buses carry 100-ish passengers. can you imagine how long a queue of small self-driving vehicles to replace that one bus load would be snaking into a city and when one stops, the gridlock that would cause?
Slashdot Mirror
i never trust anything the xenophobic dailymail says so i'd never read that article
"This would be the only Android I would get (if I had to stop using my Blackberry Passport for any strange reason)" - ditto
why don't you gain some credibility and log in. spewing from behind AC is gutter talk
Could also put up turbines if its suitable and maybe create a huge power storage system
he's probably too stupid to understand that reply
just for you...

anyway its off topic
you don't need immigrants to destroy any country, it gets done from the inside by ignorant people.
i said nothing of the sort.

google is your friend
google what to do with old EV batteries. hint: recycle into home storage battery
they are doing it okay, so perhaps you need to do some research to cure your ignorance and attempt at a smart ass jibe.

blind people have better hearing than you and they will generally have a dog.

Getting into a city for work like london on time by car means going about 5:30am and having a large wallet for parking.

A bus driver must have a lunch break at some point
politics rules
They must have factored all the costs in to produce their cost/benefit analysis, including the interest cost on a diesel purchase.
