So… You want to turn off the sun? This has nothing to do with climate change, the sun hasn’t changed intensity in a few 100 years, so sun makes things warm
Not really. Tons of apps are such bad quality, I’m actually wondering if there’s more shit in the app stores than anywhere else…
Siberia isn’t the permafrost melting - those emissions correlate to known Oil and Gas Wells, that mostly have been just left open, so that they can be used easily again. Melting permafrost is still releasing relatively little.
Because they rust when you not use them and always use regen. And most BEV drivers do not “maintain” their brakes, as they do not brake more vigorously to free the rotors of rust. There’s a limit as to how much wear/grooves your disc can have and at least for many Teslas that’s one of the reasons why they fail their first TÜV check up after 3 years. (Not to mention the horrible quality of Tesla suspension and chassis components…)
Nope - the ~~ADAC ~~ (turns out, i was wrong about that) GDV in Germany did a study a few weeks ago and they found EV maintenance is actually higher, because parts are so much more expensive and also brakes are needed a lot more regularly. However, the last one could be just a german problem, because of our TÜV.

THE reason i got a Mazda, after many years of Mercedes and BMW…
Not really in this case. Methane emissions are very specific and do not happen with everything humans do. Co2 is also a very big building block of life itself, Methane isn’t.
NASA just put a sat in orbit that measures the leakages with pin point accuracy…
Sweden already basically phased out fossile Diesel, in Italy HVO Diesel was a lot cheaper than fossile Diesel and you can’t even get fossile Diesel anymore in California. With the upcoming Co2 Taxes all around the world, fossile Diesel is getting more expensive and HVO is getting cheaper because more and more production capacity is added.
BS, that’s what happens with shit management. They gambled all in with EVs and it failed big time, because nobody wants them. They also gambled all in with touch and screwed their base over and also they pulled everything out of the cars that made them good cars - and also “boring”.
Well, i’d go so far and say California besides Canada is the most European Like in North-America…
Make blue crude - way more ROI
No - not a single BEV is cost-competitive in most European Countries with ICE Vehicles, UNLESS you have your own photovoltaics on the roof or power is less than 30 cent per kWh. And if you don’t have a way to charge where you actually park, things are looking even worse, because then you pay 70 cent or more per kWh, making it extremely expensive. The “developed world” is not lagging behind because they are unwilling to invest - there is no incentive to invest money wise, because of stupid legislations or because other things are way too subsidized.
I highly disagree with that notion. This week marked one of the first weeks, where HVO100 Diesel was about 20 cents cheaper than fossile diesel in wide parts of italy. HVO100 in Sweden is getting super cheap as well, it’s hitting the same prices in many fuel stations. You can’t even get fossile diesel anymore in California. And I see more and more people fueling up on “my” HVO100 station for about 15-20 cent more.
BEVs are here to stay and I guess they’ll get some market share, but that doesn’t mean things aren’t getting carbon neutralised somewhere else. Considering 1 kWh produces 1 Liter of HVO100, that is nearly 100% carbon neutral (some of the hydrogen needed is still being made from natural gas, but neste plans to phase that out until the end of 2024, so it’s 100% carbon neutral - and btw reduces most other pollutants at least 45 %), it’s going to be really, really cheap, as so much food grade oil is being used and still just burned in incinerators (neste estimates, around 65% of worldwide diesel/kerosene and heater fuel usage is possible with that alone, the talin oil and fish oil fish oil waste will be another 10% and the rest is going to be made from plastics, which is awesome in so many ways).
My guess is, BEVs will stay expensive and a bit more exclusive, but the rest is going to just fuel up with alternatives, as more and more countries are coming to their senses and outlawing fossile fuels.
The “funniest” part in all of this is…the Saudis are sitting on so much potential sun energy, it’s utterly stupid to not just swamp the market with carbon free oil alternatives. Because they could have the best of both worlds, making other countries still depend on them for their energy needs, but doing it carbon neutral.
I just hope he just crashes and takes that whole far right shit with him. Unfortunately, looking at the Netherlands, it doesn’t look good.
Well, Tesla doesn’t have a production facility in Canada, AFAIK. However…Germany has…and i think he’s going to regret that big time.
Yeah, to put that in to context for Germany, sales are still generally down compared to before Corona. By a lot. 2.496.373 Cars for 2023, 3.058.011 Cars for 2019, that’s 22% less new Cars generally. There’s also the fact that some people are still waiting for their cars. Two colleagues of mine ordered last year…they still haven’t gotten their car. Both didn’t order BEVs though. Another colleague bought out the lease on his and is going to drive it until the wheels fall off (or, like we say in Germany “Bis das der TÜV uns scheidet”, meaning until it’s not economical any more to keep it road worthy), which is also something two of my friends did, simply because there isn’t anything on the market right now that they want.
So yeah, from my personal surroundings, i don’t think it’s going to grow that much more.
I agree and this resonates - but I’d still choose AMD in a heartbeat, Intel has lost all and every confidence that they do security correctly and it’s only since the 5000 series AMD has…“issues”. We’ve got a relatively big pool of various devices and the 3000 series ones are basically flawless.
However, especially ASUS has no right to cry about AMD, as they don’t seem to be able to fix simple bios errors either.
