There hasn't been a debt limit in four years. The Republicans passed an automatic debt limit extension that lasted as long as they were in power. It was a part of the big income tax cut for rich people.

The bunker will come in handy when they move over to nuclear AC generation for recharging the batteries.

Biomass neither increases nor decreases atmospheric CO2. Fires in Australia and Indonesia may release a few gigatons of carbon, but over the span of decades it's steady state. The programs to ameliorate global warming by planting trees is a scam by polluters. We need to quit burning fossil fuels that haven't been in the atmosphere since the Permian.

True. The carbon on the surface of the earth stays steady over the long haul except when underground carbon is brought to the surface. A tree collects carbon as it grows but will release the same carbon when it rots or burns. The surface carbon is going up because we are digging deep and bringing up carbon rich fuels. We are ADDING to the earths surface carbon.

This is good hear about GM planning ahead. They have been going backwards in scope since they got out of the space race.

Scientists Discovered a New Arctic Warning Signal for Catastrophic Winter Weather

This relates to the killing winter storm we saw in South Texas recently. Predicting events like is important.

As EVs help displace our gas home back up generators stabilizing the power grid will be a hot topic for years to come. Tesla moving in the direction of electric power grid management world wide and SpaceX and Tesla move to TX will in time be good for the TX power grid. The time is coming when making EVs will will not be a money printing industry.

Chip shortage expected to cost auto industry $210 billion in revenue in 2021

That $210 billion could have helped the move from ICE to EV transport.

Chip shortage expected to cost auto industry $210 billion in revenue in 2021

That $210 billion could have helped the move from ICE to EV transport.

But why? I respect your fervor on the subject, yet the percieved benefit isn’t there yet. The environmental argument would be a lot more realistic if the push was to use electric public transportation rather than personal use. As is it’s more of a financial rather than ecological transfer.
