Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

Alpha Wolf EV - be very careful here. There are indications that this may be some type of scam.

Electric cars won't solve our pollution problems – Britain needs a total transport rethink | George Monbiot

This opinion piece is from the UK. Until recently I never thought about car tires being a source of pollution for the planet.

My cousin is a researcher in water quality. 20+ years ago he got a contract from Caltrans for a study of the effect of tire rubber going into San Francisco Bay. I never heard the final result, but I expect a little digging online would find his conclusions, and others'.

The reason for hiring the study was concern that water quality was affected. I talked to him early in the project. At that point he hadn't shown that the particles were more than just inert mass.

More recently the concern over SF Bay and the related Delta, is for the tiniest fish that are the foundation for sustaining larger aquatic life - salmon, etc. The recent concern about microplastics might use his findings about quantity and location, and build on that for a more comprehensive model of what's going on.

Home - Suntec Wind & Solar

The power of google. I was watching some YouTube videos about kids that remembered their past life and this ad popped up. Apparently we do not use today's technology in privacy.

At least now I know you can buy pre-wired solar systems.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company reportedly pitching wider tunnels that could transport freight

Sometime ago I read where someone was proposing or stating that would be possible to tunnel to Alaska go under the straits over to Russia and back down to China and we could have shipping by ground to and from China and the United States. This would sound like a nice project for electric self-driving trucks.

Ya, and I doubt earthquakes up in that region won’t effect any tunnels. I would never venture into that hole. I have been deep down in a gold mine shaft years ago...freaked me out to no end. I was installing a control panel for mine elevator. That was the first and only time I went down that far, and told boss never again.

Musk is a dreamer and as long as the gummit is paying the bill, all well and good. If he had to exist on his own, he's be **** up long ago.

Ford F-150 Lightning full trim pricing info leaks online

Price ranges for F-150 Lightning.

I have a 218K mile 2010 Ford F-150 Lariat with the 10K tow package that I bought 3 years ago for $7,400. It stays Parked unless hauling or towing for the most part because I don't want to put it at risk of an accident without cause.

F150's are popular with early morning retired coffee drinkers and often are newer Lariets or better. They are not work trucks. $60K Lightings will be popular and look huge parked on each side of my Leaf.

The Dark Side of Solar Power

The more I read about solar panels the more I think they are just not quite ready for prime time just yet.

We need a detached garage and out buildings so I'll may try to look at some day building a building that would be best for solar panels averaged out for summer/winter gains.

Maybe we can outlaw the wheel? That would be “progressive”

Dont give them other ideas. Calif will require hover craft soon enough, with or without the technology to back it up
