The problem with DT's anti-globalist rhetoric isn't so much that it's wrong it's that it's a) mostly lifted from the Left who've been saying it for 30 years and b) it's all about 30 years too late.

What's really amazing is that _now_ you hate the idea because Trump is actually doing something about it. Leftists truly are idiots. Every one of you.

Wrong. Everybody hates Trump's anti-globalist rhetoric and actions because his trade wars are putting a crimp in the global economy, the US economy in cluded.

The real idiots are people who think that anyone can win a trade war.

Trump isn't actually an idiot, but his unwillingness to pay attention for m ore than a few minutes at a stretch lets him fall for solutions that look g ood in the short term, but lead to long term disaster, which is pretty idio tic.

Krw uses the term "idiot" in a rather specialised sense. For him it means " somebody who doesn't agree with krw". In this particular krw is being obvio usly idiotic, and he's much too rigid in what passes for his "thinking" for him ever to be able to realise it.

Krw is confused by situations where one can hold mixed views about a person and be vaguely pleased with one subset of their actions, yet so displeased with another that it outweighs any goodwill the former has.

These types of normal human emotional states cause his subroutines to throw an error code.

A very unrealistic scenario. Only miserly cars like mine, with a 8.6kWh battery, could be depleted when getting home. But those cars are hybrid and can use gas.** The rest will have plenty of energy left for an evening out. The rapid charge capability isn't for ordinary use, it's for a long trip, hundreds or thousands of miles, a rare occurrence. Or we're talking the Tesla owner who plugs in once a week.

** When I charge, that's a 1.5kW load. My Tesla friend charges, once a week, that's a 32kW load. Modest.

I don't think your friend uses 32 kW unless he is charging TWO cars on TWO wall connectors AND they are both model S or model X with the higher chargi ng capacities. My car has the 72 amp charging units (17 kW). But they are n't selling those anymore. The only device that will provide 72 amps that I am aware of is the Tesla wall connector. You can get up to 50 amps in so me third party devices (12 kW) and the mobile cable that comes with the Tes las will only provide 32 amps from a 240 volt outlet (8 kW).

So how does your friend draw 32 kW? Maybe you mean 32 amps for 8 kW.

BTW, why does he only charge once a week? Did he read something that said it will wear the battery less to charge fully once rather than a small char ge every day?

It reminds me of dial-up internet access. It got the ball rolling but in ti me investment in a new infrastructure was needed, and people pay for that i n their broadband bills.

An intermediate approach may be diesel generators at stations. That should help break the illusion of clean energy.

If EVs get more popular the government will surely tax these charging stati ons. The cheap travel available now will end. Then people will start to not ice that liquid fuelled cars make more sense after all.

Why do you want to go backward? I am on solar charger at Bakersfield Amtra k most of the time. I am a firm believer of using Other People's Energy (O PE). Right now, they are a few Amtrak stations with charger. I demand cha rger in every station, or close-by. My first step is Wasco. Going to the city council soon. If not, run for the city council.

The Chevy Bolt motor, controller and battery are made by LG (formerly Lucky-Goldstar) the Korean chaebol in Incheon South Korea.

There is an excellent set of videos on the Bolt on Youtube channel WeberAuto, by Professor John D. Kelly at Weber State Univ. in Utah. Here is one, more on the motor (the bit about bearing coatings is interesting):

Liquid fueled cars make perfect sense, if the liquid fuel is liquid hydroge n.

Liquid hydrocarbons get burnt to water (which isn't a problem) and CO2 - wh ich sticks around in the atmosphere for some 800 years, and exacerbates glo bal warming.

NT hasn't got any sense at all, and has told us that anthropogenic global w arming stopped in it's tracks in 1998 (when there was a particularly intens e El Nino which mimicked something liek six years worth of anthropogenic gl obal warming. This was known to be a nonsense claim at the time, and was ob vious nonsense after about 2004, but NT hadn't noticed.

It won't be diesel, it'll be an efficient natural-gas generator. I know some of my car's electricity comes from a source like that, but it's still much less CO2 than my car makes when its using gasoline. And I try to charge from my solar roof when I get the chance.

What's your problem? You wanna CO2 to the max?

60 percent of all new cars sold in Norway in March were fully electric.

Cars that rely solely on internal combustion engines with no hybrid electric unit had a market share of only 22.7 percent in March, the lowest on record.

They are planning for the day that their oil runs out, putting a lot into infrastructure projects like highways with extensive tunnels through granite mountains. And lots of deeply buried local hydro plants - these are also for military purposes. (I was in Norway a year or two ago.)
