They bided their time, and knew about the (mandated) EV transition years ago.

That was always how it was going to work! I don't know how anyone believed that the "legacy" automotive manufacturers, with their fingers on the pulse of upcoming transportation regulations, would be "caught out" by the EV transition.

That website is truly awful. Maybe it's personal, but I hate the "scroll to be shown a narrative" style of website design.

> you mean you want an easy way to sort and aggregate the information in order to dispute this.

For a start, I need the list to include the country of origin of each person.

>he burden is on you to do this as you’re the one questioning the accuracy of the widely cited Hurun list.

I've pointed out that Hurun don't make public their list of billionaires per country, unlike the other providers of that data. As no-one yet has been able to show otherwise, my point stands.

>Hurun reports are widely cited with few (if any) questions on its accuracy.

I could make the same statements about Forbes and Knight Frank, so that doesn't help explain the 3x disparity between Hunan's figures and the rest.

>it's an inaccurate objection proven by 1 minute of research:

I too found that list of the globe's billionaires. As we are comparing the rates of billionaires in the US, UK, and France, that page doesn't help.

Shame Hurun doesn't publish its source data, or a list of those people.

I've just re-created your "PID" controller, and was completely underwhelmed with the response. I just don't find it amazing that something using that much compute power can generate source code that multiplies an input by a constant.

If you can't write that quicker than the ChatGPT prompt you provided, then you probably should pay more attention to your class.

Ah, the mythical "super-rich" who could fund all of our solutions, if only we could prise their money out of their clutching hands!

It's funny how they always exist, even in countries like the UK and France which in reality have taxed them out of existence, and payscales are absurdly compressed compared to the US.

Careful what you wish for, you are someone else's "super rich".

The Climate Catastrophe doesn't care about what certain groups of people find "sensible".

Ignoring the fact that there are no renewable energy-powered EV factories, there are also plenty of industrial processes that inherently emit CO2. Steel manufacture first comes to mind.

By your same argument, I could say that there's no inherent CO2 emission required to manufacture petrol (as in, there theoretically is a way to do it).

>The anti-EV argument is deliberate confusion of the former with the latter.

I'm not confused about the distinction between the two. The pro-EV crowd seem happy to ignore the former, as long as it's far away, or could be solved by some as yet unimplemented technology.

>But not constantly grabbing for a phone and staring at a screen... priceless.

And once the spell is broken, you find yourself staring at people stumbling around, tied to their tiny screens.

>An electric car produces no CO2 over its lifetime.

It just appears, fully-made and with no CO2 spent on its manufacture?

Do you know how much CO2 an electric car produces over its lifetime?? We'll never hit our -80% reduction that we need!

We're talking about the cost of power. Putting aside the unbelievable idea that Alberta has as much mid-winter solar energy available as at the equator, using solar to heat my house is more expensive than burning some stuff inside.
