NASA's biggest worry right now: What if something goes wrong with the Webb telescope?

Do that overnight and you don't need anything you don't already have. For people who only *ever* drive locally, sure. For people who occasionally want to take a road trip to more than 300 miles away, it becomes untenable. Not at all. If you regularly drive more than 300 miles, it simply means that the current generation of EVs isn't appropriate for your needs. And no proposed EV will be, any time soon. For you there remains conventional gasoline engines, or hybrids systems. Which a number of government jurisdictions are, right now, in the process of banning. And it is quite certain that long range EV solutions will be developed over the next few years. They still have to be charged. You will pretend otherwise, because you know there is no answer, even in theory, to the obstacles. Amazing how we managed to adopt automobiles at all given that when they were developed refueling was very difficult, with almost no supportive infrastructure. Building infrastructive is a practical obstacle. 3 MW cables handled by the average driver is a theoretical obstacle. I realize you're too ****ing stupid to know the difference, even when explained using small words, but reality doesn't require you to believe it it to bite you in the ass. We've gone over this before, retard. You *know* I'm right. You *know* your insane fantasies are full of ****. Do you *like* being publicly humiliated? You must, to keep seeking it out time after time. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

I don't need to. And I don't need to take your seriously. And don't. I can observe that there has never been a market driven technology that didn't rapidly produce any needed infrastructure. When there's a handful of people using cars, you can build out the infrastructure as the market grows. When there's 150 million people using cars, you need to build it out all at once. This will cost trillions of dollars. You will *never* address that. Because you *know* I'm right. (And most certainly, the vast majority of uses have no need for that much charging capacity most of the time.) And the vast marjority will vote out of office a politician who tells them they can *never* take long distance road trips again. You will *never* address the difference between "most of the time" and "never."

To those who aren't morons, we already have. The laws of physics aren't changing. But it doesn't matter. Your driving habits place you in a small minority of the driving market. Only a small minority *ever* take long road trips? Really? I don't know a single person who doesn't occasionally take a run up to Vegas. How many hotels do you believe will install $50,000 charging stations for _every_ parking stall in their structure? Vegas and back is beyond the range of any EV available today on a single charge. You will *never* address that obstacle. Because you know I'm right. For you there remains conventional gasoline engines, or hybrids systems. Which a number of government jurisdictions are, right now, in the process of banning. Gasoline only. No. You are just plain full of ****. But we knew that already. I don't think anybody is proposing bans on plug-in electric hybrids. And it is quite certain that long range EV solutions will be developed over the next few years. They still have to be charged. Yes. No real problem with our current infrastructure. If you'd start using numbers that are realistic you'd know that. The US currently uses the equivalent of about one terrawatt-hour of gasoline right now. That means an increase of between 30-50% in transmission capacity (especially since the majority of charging will be done during business hours, or the hours just after someone gets home - peak hours). There is nowhere near that much extra capacity right now. It will cost trillions of dollars to build the generating stations and upgrade the grids to handle it. You will *never* address this, because you *know* I am right. When you are prepared to admit you are *wrong*, we can continue. Until then, it is literally impossible to have a grown up conversation with you. You are incapable of it, because you are too childish to admit you're wrong, and too stupid to be right. So until you grow up, there's nothing left but calling your stupid until you get that you're stupid. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

Only a small minority *ever* take long road trips? I didn't say that. You can rent a different kind of car. You can own two different kinds of cars. You can be part of a shared car pool (that's going to be increasingly popular given the waste associated with exclusive car ownership). |
