Lol, folks don’t ‘need’ SUVs. When I was in NYC 2 years back, after not having been there for a few years, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The number of sheer gardensheds on wheels is hilarious. SUVs and ‘trucks’ are an American car manufacturers invention that have little to no basis in real world needs. All of you have been told you need it. That’s something different.

Personally, being from Europe, I’m not sure why we would need a pickup truck. I get it, insane tax reasons somehow are making those monstrosities quite popular in the Netherlands for example, but you never see the beds used.

My LG OLED has never seen an internet connection and intend to keep it that way for a very long time: indefinitely.

Bingo. Slowly turn them onto each other…

Your opinion is not really appreciated here with the nuclear industry trying to capitalise on the renaissance that seems to be fashionable these days. But I fully agree with your assessment, China is of course building nuclear plants, but have also seen the light in the sense that they are building more renewable generation capacity than all other generation sources combined.

Nuclear will not make a full ‘come back’, literally no one in their right mind is going to invest in 15 year projects when grid connected battery capacity is tripling every 6 months.

Except nuclear does not scale, especially not downward. Because any safety measures that have become standard, are required also on the smaller reactors. Except there, they cost relatively more per kWh output when compared to large plants.

I don’t really see this going to work, renewables are continuing to become cheaper and cheaper, and do scale.

But, I’d like to be pleasantly surprised.

The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.

This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the ‘conservative’ movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?

Also, the Murdochs are known to fan out the EV bullshit that is being sold these days via their channels.

It’s only a matter of time before driving an EV is considered woke.

Great stuff, thank you for all the good work.

btw, as a tip: please resize https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/14f857e5-703a-4513-9c1a-f23031675be1.png in an image editor. It’s on the homepage, and it’s a frikking 4.5 megabyte image file.

It’s the technology curve. We’re now at the iPhone 3GS stage. The iPhone 4 of EVs is just around the corner. It will only get better (not cheaper) from here.

This! Lemmy became so much comfortable by using old.lemmy.world, almost all withdrawal symptoms went away.

Yup, this!
