This has been proven false back in like 2008. Even if electric cars were to run off coal plants, they would still be more efficient because the plants can capture and reuse heat with boilers.

That being said, coal has to go anyway. I run my electric car from 98% hydro power and 2% wind power and I pay 6,9 cents per kWh, and that's Canadian money, pretty cheap.

I took too much processor and not enough memory, it would take age to get to 70k...

How do I reset and start over?

If you are really serious, your goal should be to be net positive, downgrading won't get you there, never.

Most big companies do get some form of subsidies. Tesla is nearly 30,000 jobs in the US alone. 5 Billions is not much for such a big company.

Right now, even with surge, they seem to be a bit cheaper than the normal city taxi but I would bet that as soon as there will be no more competition they will raise the price AND still do price surge. In the end, we will pay more than we used to.

Uber seem to be always on the edge between aggressive profit and shady business.

EDIT: Don't think by my comment that I meant the taxis are better. I was just saying that right now, this is a great deal in most cities where Uber does offer their services but seeing how hungry they are for max profit, I doubt this will last and eventually we will realize that a broken system was replaced by another broken one.

Sadly there is no such thing as an electric Civic. I wish my 30K Nissan Leaf had it.

Yes, they better have it, Jeeps are worthless peices of junk. I've owned a CJ, a YJ and two TJ and would never recommend it to anyone.

Every two or three months we see this same headline based on the same studies or have new numbers. We all know that other methods had very low success rate yet we never see a healine about Nicorette or patches.

A large number of "vapers" have reduce or even stopped smoking, including myself.

My goal was to stop smoking, goal achieved.

I really like the fact that you can monitor remote servers!

Not sure if you consider feature requests but I would love to be able to monitor ZFS as well with it.
