all electric cars in europe

That's a load of crap. The military is all about conditioning soldiers to follow orders without thinking. That's been true for thousands of years.

More importantly, everything you've written is simply your opinion, based on nothing, but the machinations of your own mind. You describe what others "feel". Maybe you have some knowledge of what people feel in East Germany, or even in regards to "the bomb", but you have little knowledge of what US soldiers "feel", so your speculations are not worth the paper they're not written on.

The grouping together you talk about is the west hoping to not become the victim of Russian aggression, exactly what is happening now.

I would provide you with some links, but I know you are very adverse to learning anything that might create cognitive dissonance.

That's great if you are the only driver in the country. The total number of miles driven in the US per year is over 2.5e12 not 14000.

Did you want to follow up that fact with a thought? Or are you trying to impersonate Larkin?

And everywhere else is populated by the original inhabitants.

What can we say? The worst thing we ever did was fight to end slavery.

It was taken by the people who lived there, who didn't want to live under Mexico's tyrants.

Mexico did the same when they broke from Spain.

Texas then chose to join the US.

They didn't say they wanted to replace the cars with anything. They said only that they wanted to eliminate the cars.

Biden phrased it the same way. They intend for you to use a bus or a bicycle, but they won't say what they really want.

The Sun is not out at night, and winds are highest in the afternoon, if there is any wind at all. What is required is a major shift to nuclear.

Batteries don't care when they get charged. Granting the speed at which nuclear plants get built, and how expensive it is to generate electricity that way, the only people who see a "requirement" to build them are those who make money out of getting them built. They lose money big time after they are built.

The Australian power generating business hasn't invested in anything except solar farms and windmills for years now, though now they are starting to invest in grid scale batteries as well. Flyguy's brain seems to have stopped process new information about a decade ago.

Don't ignore animal rights! Nasty invasive humans killed off the native animal populations who owned the land, well, everywhere.

Some of the extinction may have been natural, but hunter-gatherers sure didn't help.

Do "original inhabitants" own the land?

Good point. Owning a car grants freedoms to the masses, and our wise leadership doesn't want that.

When I was in the Moscow, all the cars had to pull over whan a fat cat Party member zoomed by in the left lane in his limo. I think the left lane was actually reserved for them.

We underlings are slowing down the elites. We should be on trains or bicycles.

Nuclear can't be designed to rapidly shift output to match the load. It's also the most expensive energy on earth with new facilities costing more every year. In fact, recent construction seems to work on an asymptotic schedule where every X amount of time the schedule is increased by kX. Like Xeno's paradox.

Why do you see the lack of sunshine at night to be a problem for solar energy? If we are going to have to install massive amounts of energy storage to make nuclear energy work, why not install the same amount of storage and use it with solar and wind saving huge amounts of money in the process?

Doesn't that make sense to you?

With the conversation being about electric cars in Europe, why is this guy on his soapbox about extinct species???

I don't get how his mind works.

What about herderers they have an impact too I bet

I myself prefer a nice bit of cheese

My favorite If you look at the label closely it says cows milk even though “goat” is in the brand name The other is $48 for large quantity which I guess if I can’t find in store will have to do

Explain, then, that the Phillippines, Panama Canal Zone, Marshall Islands, asked to be released, and... got their wish. Peacefully. Puerto Rico voted not to ask for either release or statehood.

US foreign policy doesn't include random grabs, none in recent history. Even old acquisitions, like Texas and Hawaii, were nominally unattached when they asked for inclusion. Purchases, like Louisiana and Alaska, were more-or-less pure, though the Gadsden purchase has some rough edges.

The only reason why Texas consented to be part of the union is because Mexico still considered them to be part of Mexico and being part of the US would be the lesser of two evils. There was also the possibility of not actually getting a choice as was the case in Hawaii. I assume you aren't aware of the history of Hawaii since you seem to be saying they joined voluntarily. I think it was voluntary with a figurative gun at their head... of state. I'm not saying anyone pointed a gun toward Texas, but I believe it was indicated that could happen if they didn't join voluntarily.

Of the people I've asked in Puerto Rico, many say they would prefer to be part of Spain. I haven't heard that is on the table. It's not like being part of the US is doing a lot for them other than allowing residents to freely travel and work in the mainland. Many take up that option, in particular after Maria. Four years later, it is clear how deep the scar runs. I've grown attached to the place. I hope they can recoup some of the lost talent.
