It seems this is mostly applying to rural dealerships that sell American brands

That's a capitalism problem, not a me problem. You're replying to this thread still, wasting my time.

Modern Nissan is pretty hit-and-miss. Their CVT transmissions have a bad reputation too. I have a new Acura with push button start and a manual transmission and all the electronics work correctly with no issues.

You know I think your mistake here was buying a Nissan, not a car with push button start

I have no idea why you would want to pick one over the other when both have their specific uses and will both be needed to replace fossil fuels for electricity generation. I'm just lucky enough to live in a city that's almost entirely hydroelectric.

You just can't beat the simple things sometimes.

I asked them to consider it and was told that they had already had this discussion and decided to allow it because they’re credible. Pretty simple

I’m not the one who downvoted you, but I understand where you’re coming from. I just think that both technologies are useful. Nuclear has clear advantages over all fossil fuels, so it would be a good thing to invest in. This would be in addition to solar, wind and battery farms.

That’s helpful, thank you. I take issue with their headlines is all.

I’m a millennial, my gen X dad calls my brother “sport”

The articles themselves are fine. I just take issue with the editorialized and biased headlines. It’s a bias I agree with though so I don’t exactly have a list of examples.

Nuclear stans? Us vs them thinking here.

When I can, I do. I’ve donated to several projects over the years.

Consider the quality of sources allowed to be posted to the community. Some sites are bad, and it’s okay to filter them out in the interest of quality.

Really living up to your username there, sport.

They genuinely are about 3 times more efficient, so that's not really accurate.

The position of most people in this community is usually "Cars should cease to be the primary means of transportation for North Americans as soon as possible". There are cases where cars and trucks are the only logical option, like rural communities, but in cities we should be aggressively against cars as a primary means of transportation. Nothing solves the the problems cars cause like replacing them with a train or bus or cycling

Just because the EU is involved doesn't make it any different. This is like how Target is leaving Seattle because the city decriminalized shoplifting. The whole point is to punish the people in the place with laws they don't like.

It’s linked to the same thing though. Investor pressure to produce a profit or sink. It’s the service getting worse. And Facebook wrote the book on enshittification- think 2006 Facebook.

It’s just more enshittification
