Yes, at 900hp 750KW, I can imagine a farmer using 2MWh of charging to get 3-4 hrs of work done and this would be by providing this power all the way out to each farm, or remote mining site, or rural road construction.
I've written this example before to those that get it: Take a 6hp engine produce electricity at 3KW, power your bike at 3KW, instead of powering it with the 6hp engine. Now take this power send it through two thick copper wires 200mi away and back (it takes 2) and on its way back charge two 4KWh batteries, to power your 3KW bike, and then go riding for an hour. This is your clean efficient power. The myth is the powerplant burning coal/diesel/nat.gas is so efficient that its 6hp motor makes 10KW power ( :) ) and there are no losses of power using cables over hundreds of miles, no losses due to heat charging, and 100% of the charge is put to work in your vehicle. And this will save the environment.
It doesn't work that way and if you had high-school physics you should have known better.
you are such an ignorant troll, this is like saying Julian Assange was never in prison, I just saw him yesterday walking on the beach!
I am sorry for over-reacting on something so common, but I feel very strongly about such things. If I write something, post a picture of an alien, print some data and publish them, they are no longer my private property, they are public. I shouldn't have the right to take it away, especially when people used it as a base to discuss that object, despite of its value. It also adds to the confusion, a third person comes by wondering what's wrong with those that made a comment on something that doesn't exist.
We should encourage discussion, we should fight those who prevent it. For ages we shut passively in front of a tube receiving and not being able to react or discuss. One way brainwashing without the sound of resistance. Now we can screen out everything by discussion, and each can judge what is right and wrong, what sounds rational and what is.
At least you still have a publicly accessible ER and ICU ... because in the US people prefer to die on the street than be billed 4 times life long earning for getting their gull-blotter removed.
Long live the NHS ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t39BdxudF9U
You mean buy black label but you will not know the color till you unwrap the bottle

Ohh.. you have a bar, well there is an unbiased position, a person making profit selling toxic substances to addicts
Smoke film on the walls bother him. Move the bar to a dead end alley so exhaust fumes don't affect your cleaning
you want to see disgusting, go see babies being born crack addicted and if they survive day two moms fight doctors to take them out because they need their fix, and the baby is going through withdrawal ... it is like watching the scariest movie.
The reason you are calling it shit is because you were brainwashed that it is. Up until the 80s you could hardly walk into an office public or private and there weren't public ashtrays around. Have cancer, lung, and heart disease decreased? They have INCREASED!!
Have work accidents lethal and disabling injuries decreased? No, they have increased because of unions being faught against like enemies of the state (which they are to any capitalist state).
If tobacco and alcohol are so toxic and dangerous why are they legal? If banning and restricting substances was so effective why is there such a large percentage of youth hooked and nearly incapable of anything than petty crimes?
I'll tell you why, because the system to balance itself and justify all the fascism and violence it holds a monopoly on it needs to criminalize a portion of the population to justify general repression. This is how you can maintain the absolute extreme in inequality, violence and legitimizing violence for the benefit of the majority.
I grew up in a society nobody tried to prevent kids from drinking, and I had not seen a kid drunk. Then in the US I was shocked that the first party I attended half the people were tripping falling down and passing out, and that was called fun!
There is a deeper reason of repression, and it is not to protect the public's health. If they gave a shit about health they would have made health care free and accessible to all as a public service it should have been, together with education, shelter, and nutrition.
Why don't you let it go when it was common knowledge than nearly for half a century there was no liquor advertised on public tv in the US. Whether it was a law or the 3networks shut down and said lets' self regulate so they don't make laws against it .. is a different story.
Again, this is an indictment of our shitty society. We should be banning dirty engines too - electric motors can achieve the same level of torque (and greater!) without pumping out cancer causing pollutants that stink up our world.
Ignorance doesn't clean the air, with the average country still making electric power and transmitting it in long distances in the most inefficient and expensive ways, 86% is produced by burning fossil fuels, and this doesn't include the risk of nuclear power, although clean till you deal with storing depleted uranium. Urban yuppies have been sold the illusion their electric car doesn't pollute, a 60s Rambler running still doesn't pollute, a 5y old electric vehicle in the dumpsite near you will fill the area with toxins. Electricity produced, transmitted, used for charging at less than 40% efficiency, pollutes more than a 60s gas-gassler.
But electric, thermoplastics, vehicle AND OIL/COAL industries need to sell a myth to the urban yuppie to accessorize in something "different" that will stick out and make them feel superior. The upcoming huge environmental hazzard is lack of recycling of useless electric vehicles and their batteries, the enormous amount of excess electricity produced to cover transportation with electricity, and the economic crisis that will result from this irresponsible madness governments are allowing to take place.
This is the shittiest most fascist behavior anyone can utilize to avoid criticism and exposure. Delete the original post in where there is live discussion with more users than any thread on this miserable medium that allows people like swampwitch to behave like this.
So ignorant and aggressive it should be forbidden, as soon as a comment is posted posts can't be removed. Once information is public who does anyone think that is private property and can remove it from the public sphere? Not even facebook twitter and the likes of corporate fascists don't act the way fediverse actors act. Total punks!
you go learn science and research methodology then go make up your own stuff, till then just research sci.journals on what they deduced. Most urban street air is much more toxic and dangerous than inhaling 2nd hand smoke in a bar
Nicotine, a harmless substance, liquefies in such a high temperature that it can hardly make it through the filter and into your lips in gaseous form, so people saying you are spitting nicotine by breathing smoke are full of crap and illusions (I don't see religion being banned for that).
Carbon monoxide? Carbon particles and biproducts of burning carbo-hydrates, as long as our lives are surrounded by vehicles the exhaling of smoke from a smoker's mouth is negligible.
But it stinks! Aaa... but you smell like industrial aromatics, perfumes, deodorants, detergents ... working on a Caterpillar bulldozer stinks but I don't hear anyone banning them
I am making it all up this never existed, I remember strongly Carter, Raegan, Bush speaking on tv and then there was a Jack Daniels commercial ..
You don't need an ad, or a warning of the risks, you know it is there for the past 50+ years and the right guy that sells it. Just like prozac or ritalin, if you can afford the prescription
The vast majority of homeless in the US historically has been women with children (not and but with) who were not substance abusers. The image of being homeless because of substance abuse was right-wing/neo-liberal propaganda to shift blame to the victims. And just like their spiritual father Goebels said, throw mud and some of it will stick (for generations I might add). The way the image was reinforced was because sub.abusers were more visible, declining shelters when available, or safer out of site places. So people actually saw what they were told. When you see a woman with a cart full of stuff and a kid or two following her on the street you don't identify her as homeless, the sub.abuser laying down in a carton box you do.
Am I making this up?
What media can safely say 71% of the audience is over 21? A scary movie? Something with explicit sex, what, because that is what teens will run and watch.
Federal and local courts went head to head about alcohol advertising in the 90s and targeting teens (or under aged drinkers 21 in the US since early 1980s). Remember Coors nearly going bankrupt, or Camel being attacked because of their camel cartoon character ads? Superficial hypocritical measures that only lawyers and insurance companies can appreciate.
The division between beer and malt-liquor/liquor in the US is very specific to US regulation that separates beer from liquor. From state to state to sell liquor beer and wine may be separate licenses.
Did any of this have an impact in reducing under 21 addiction, mortality, DUI rates? NO!!
Those who live in a historical vacuum and think the world is summerized in a still picture ... For decades there were no tv ads in America's public tv ... are we living in parallel universe ... The first hit I get on search engines is NBC admitting to voluntarily end a 50y long policy of not airing liquor ads.
I see big tobacco just fine, and consumers didn’t hit big tobacco, the US government did by stepping on falsified findings of the ills of 2nd hand smoke.
What do you mean “falsified findings?”
There is no evidence today of the ills of 2nd hand smoke, so how did this support back then came about the 2nd hand smoke is just as dangerous?
There is so much false rhetoric and propaganda in addictive substances it is pathetic. Just search around on medical centers treating addictions, look for nicotine, being accused for cancer, heart disease ... there has never been any evidence that other than a psychological addiction that nicotine alone causes any harm. If you suffer from hypertension and have weak vessels, yes you can die from it, but you can die from coffee or just getting scared.
Most people can't think they can only reproduce propaganda. No sense in debating with parrots. Many people in the US advocates of health care, keep saying "in Europe they have this and that", no most countries in Europe have/had state sponsored health "insurance" which is very different than socialized health care. So a government administed fund pays for health care, even the one provided by state owned hospitals. Service, product, by product, billed, charged, and paid. Huge administration cost, huge corruption possibilities, all you do is provide the ones with authority to accept the charge and the commission is paid. Brits fought literally in a war against government before ww2 to get this and they got it. The rest fought in a variable degree to get something so they got less. Sweden and Finland being the showcase of capitalism against the SU got something then, quickly begun to have it dismantled after 1990. So the last few socialized health care systems are the NHS, Cuba's health care, (#2 highest health indicators in the Americas after Canada) ..... and the US armed forces, which is also being chewed and dismantled and converting to an insurance model. US mil and dependents just showed an ID and got health services, exams, medicine, operations, nothing charged anywhere, just working people serving working people. Such hypocrisy, where capital really needed health care to be effective they adopted a pure socialist model.
