They are not "unobtainable MPG requirements", they just don't want to invest in the research and development. its the old "it works why improve it" brain fart.
the argument is true, drive train wise there is a lots less parts in an EV. So with your ICE, you've never changed the oil, transmission oil, spark plugs, brake pads, exhaust, water coolant, checked timing belts etc over its life time? for an unusual dashboard, check Tesla's, its a PC screen with virtually all the controls via touch screen.
but he kept jobs for the workers - if he'd let them go bust, things would have been worse for the economy as it would have killed all the jobs around the factories as well that relied on the workers buying from.
"Trump voters are definitely not idiots, but they want to believe so much that there are easy answers." - the first half of your sentence is disproved by the second half, thats the problem when you "believe" over "common sense". Prayers don't work.
Obama was dealing with the failed economy from Bush (remember 2007/8 crash?) and he left trump with an upwardly mobile economy for which trump is claiming he is responsible for - trump doesn't realise it take a couple of years for an economy to react
i can't view that site as i'm not in the USA but a search for "is Musk in a clinic" brings up nothing other than him saying that Tesla have a first class clinic for employees.
nothing unusual there, it was during construction, "A section of one of the export cables for the Rampion offshore wind farm, located in UK, was cut out due to a fault in the fibre optic communications core."
clearly you don't understand they applied the law as it stands, they did not make the law. go do some research and then ask someone to explain it to you
"Electric grids in most developed countries are more than reliable enough" - ask South Australia about that, they got a Tesla solution to fix the stabilisation problems due to unreliable fossil fuel plants and now are doing very well. Why is Microsecond scale stabilisation not needed? Its a vast improvement on the current situation where the grid operators have to guess when there are going to be spikes i.e. check the TV schedule for large events. Horses did the jobs that cars now do so cars aren't needed.
"It's also worth remembering that renewables are very heavily subsidised." - so are fossil fuels and nuclear who should have lost theirs decades ago as they have been a done tech for a long time, at least renewables is a new market deserve help to get them on the road.
I can't find anything about corroding towers only replacing a power cable to shore. Strange how they manage to build North Sea oil Rigs and keep them afloat in worse seas . And regarding lifetime, i can only find estimates of 20 years which will be fine as the turbines would have technically improved quite a lot by then. The oldest wind farm off Denmark, Vindeby, produced 243GWh of power over its 25 year life which is equivalent to what seven of the largest offshore wind turbines today can produce in one year. They are certainly much better to look at than Pylons, nuclear power stations and coal fired power stations with monster chimneys. I find them very relaxing to watch when they are in motion.
The grid should only take a minimal amount of power from the EV/home battery systems and it will take less and less as more batteries come on line. The tech is there but the infrastructure is not there as yet and some EVs still don't have the V2G option. Existing microgrids do this sort of thing already, they should be able to pay you money (or give a rebate) if they take power from you as the software to run these systems is also running in these microgrids.
Obviously will work better once there is a massive uptake in EVs/home storage, its still early days
its even more depressing living here in the UK and having to live through this shit - its so depressing that there are so many people in the UK that cannot research and make objective decisions based on that research. Too many of them live by believing conspiracy theories
what the f**k are you talking about? the EU Court of Justice applies the law as it stands and those laws are all agreed to by ALL EU states, they don't make laws. The EU does its best to keep market a level playing field so its fair for all

wow .. a woman in charge.. must be upsetting for the Telsa trolls
as i said, its just the ignorant trolls you are dealing with. you can't claim Every American does not know what baseload is.
are you as good at understanding those reports as you are at predicting Tesla profitability and production numbers?
nothing unusual there, it was during construction, "A section of one of the export cables for the Rampion offshore wind farm, located in UK, was cut out due to a fault in the fibre optic communications core."
clearly you don't understand they applied the law as it stands, they did not make the law. go do some research and then ask someone to explain it to you
sure, as long as you don't still want to take advantage of the benefits once you are out the door

Not fair to classify all Americans like that. There are a lot of fine Americans out there doing great work, you just hear from the noisy trolls here

The oldest offshore wind farm off Denmark was decommissioned last year after 25 years service.

don't start another conspiracy theory even as a joke as those that live under tin foil hats cannot tell the difference

bollox, brexit trolling conspiracy theorist - all EU states are sovereign.
complete bollox. you abide by the rules of the club when you join. brexiters see conspiracy theories in their morning cereal.
