Now that's funny!

I believe you, but that I gotta see…

old design (vid quality dates it too....), by a Swedish co. IIRC

Uses the maneuverability of an MC, to address high-density jams. Not just for rescuing EVs, but if big cities vector in fleets of EVs as fast as the chearleaders want, then it may get more popular for electron deprived Teslas et al.....

CATL will reveal its first sodium-ion battery tomorrow - PushEVs

I'm going to follow this battery for the next 2 or 3 years and see if they can make it mainstream. I'd like to be able to ditch the lithium ion if there's a cheaper viable option. Since they are Tesla's supplier for the China factory I'm sure they will be working with this ASAP.

There's a Wobble in the Moon's Orbit. That's Not Good.

I bet this wobble will come in handy for people pushing EVs.

external electrical lines are in use for trains. There used to be a lot of trolley cars with overhead lines. I believe some factories have buried wires in the floor for moving equipment.

Daimler hungry for more CATL batteries - electrive.com

There is a ton of points in this article that are red flags in the 2050 objectives to reach Net Zero goals.

Why Norway Won’t Give Up On Oil & Gas | OilPrice.com

This is good news for the West so OPEC has competition.

EVs as people movers will happen naturally if they offer the best solution at the best price.

Everyone with working senses understands the climate is changing.

Why it is changing is NOT settled science nor will it be for generations to come.

If the dinosaurs came and went who is to say humans will not travel the same cycle.

We in North America know we're less than 5 months from the start of Winter. We also know without the use of carbon based fuels some of us will in a world of hurt.

Come 2050 or 2150 carbon based humans will still be a stress on the environment. Over the past 18 months we have seen Mother Nature has tools to thin the herd.
