Whoa, lets take off our socks and count there, mr ad-hominem
There is ~56 weeks in a year, so with that kind of use you get 10 years worth of deep cycles (600)
The light ones were shown already to have basically no impact.
Meanwhile, in real world people have harsher climates that will screw with the batteries even further - where I live summer goes to 35-40C and winter can go as low as -20-25C
Also, current "normal" electrical grid is not capable of charging dozens of cars at the same time, even with slow charging
Any medium business can have 50 or more cars parked and I higly doubt they will go to the trouble of upgrading their power connection by an order of magnitude -> which means no one working there will even consider an electric car
Sure, I'd love to have an electric car to do my daily commute (total of 10 miles), but since those are so riddiculously expensive, unsuitable for my climate and depreciate riddiculously quick it's kind of a moot point
Yes, they are hired less because hiring them has more risks - they can go shitpost on facebook about how you are a racist for firing/demoting/<insert anything they might not like>. Or they can harass you with media or even sue you, where a white person would be instantly laughed out of court
Also, thanks to positive discrimination their degree might actually be less than exactly the same degree of a white person (The sweet irony)
It's exactly the same mechanism thaat keeps people from hiring young women in child bearing age - it's illegal and despicable but it will keep happening because doing so means an advantage in business
Or, you know, finally unfuck your riddiculous system where paid vacations is a luxury, minimum wage is pathetic and health insurance is not the standard...
Well, wasn't Rogue One exactly that treatment? It was a visceral and brutal experience (especially when one compares it to fable tales of SW). I left the cinema quite unsettled by how gray everything was, the sacrifices and commitment to the cause.
I'd really love SW movies to be more like that, less bland and mentally lazy (AND NO MORE DEATHSTARS FFS)
With more and more negative interest rates, or attempts to lock down on how money is used (total removal of cash for example) on the horizon I think governments are quite right to fear bitcoins or any other currency that would let people get out of the attempts to "walled garden" finances
If you actually manage to go off grid then yes, maybe you are able to save. Good luck doing it without either massive lifestyle change or tons of capital for storage in most of the world.
Once you take the feed-in away the benefit is not so clear cut. Also, many people dump the externalities of home solar on everyone else (the negative spot electricity price) and then use cheap power from the grid for most of the 24h cycle
>They could transition to a combined cycle plant if they wanted to increase efficiency.
And who is going to pay for that? How do they fuel them? They already have to import a sizable part of their natural gas consumption. Do they spend even more and add coal gassification?
India is building out nuclear, obviously after Fukushima retards made sure to obstruct as much as they could
Again, the issue is smog, that is killing right fucking now. Should they just ignore the problem and develop a massive program so you feel better?
Do you even know just how much it costs to run a power plant?
You need a few hundred (400-600) tons of coal per hour per one decently sized BLOCK (few hundred MW), usually power plants have several of those, sometimes a dozen or more, a few jet engines running at full blast its a big deal compared with a FUCKING POWER PLANT /rant
Also, none of the renewable energy sources are cheaper than coal, especially when you look at the bigger picture (mostly unutilised capacity, grid overbuild requirements, volatility)
Is it now? Because lack of regulation will not hurt adoption when youll get a completely retarded accident caused by lets say...half blind Tesla lane assist "autopilot" plowing into something at full speed because the obstructiom doesnt take full lane
It will take one fucking viral video of something like that
Fun fact: Louis Rossman tested that and he showed that they don't really throttle back. They just run balls-to-the-wall at 90C or 99C depending on what was tested. Dont be surprised when heavily used machines (in terms of actual power used, not standing around for 10 hours/day with text editor open) will start failing quickly
Seriously,EV drivetrains last forever? What about battery packs that will be fucking dead after a few years of driving?
Have you ever worked with actual machinery? Electric motors can fail just as well, the windings might break or burn out, the bearings wear out, there is still some gearing in the car as well
Solar and wind is ruinously expensive (just look at german energy prices before and afrer start of their retarded experiment - and remember they pretty much drove out a lot of energy intensive heavy industry to China)
Do you really think its a good thing energy prices go negative because of generators that provide miniscule amounts od total required energy?
Ive been to scandinavia and i have never seen so many deadbeats
Every day almost at any time of day I've seen teens in expensive clothes, often with motorbikes standing around smoking and cursing or tearing up those perfect swedish laws with motorbikes
