@br00t4c And in doing so deprives American consumers of the ability to get inexpensive and reasonably sized EVs. It's a good news/bad news situation and blatant protectionism for US automakers, who have abandoned the idea of providing useful, appropriate transportation choices in favour of making stupid bloated Wankpanzers.
Well, this was totally out of the blue and so out of character for the party of #dirtypolitics. Lobbyists are back to scurrying in and out with swipe cards.
Sorry, Brownlee, but if people have this level of access to politicians then it is most assuredly public business, and the public needs to know who they are, how often they come crawling, and who they're seeing.

His blind spots were failures to recognise that markets are an emergent property of human psychology, and that all financial activity is inextricably dependent on biophysical resources.
Life's too short to read or reply to tankies and armchair anarchists who think it's morally superior to sit out elections and make it easier for fascists to take power.

@clive@thomasfuchs@nyquildotorg@lkanies@vfrmedia@sidereal@autumn Hear me out here...entire top surface of the plane is PV. Yes, it won't charge at the same rate that motors are using power (especially takeoff and climbing), but at high-altitude cruise it's in the ballpark. A range extender for daytime flights.
