Global Warming - Right & Wrong

Botch

Salt Lake City just had its first >90º October day today, ever, and we cemented the record with 93º (at least until next year).

I feel like I've been asking Fish that same question for about a decade now. 

Maybe the whisperer will make another appearance to translate.

i couldnt open the post but the title mentioned powering an ev after a hurricane, the potential for a fire goes up if it gets wet from salt water

I tried the link immediately after I posted it and again 2 minutes ago. It worked both times. 

To go to your divergent comment, any vehicle soaked in saltwater is permanently ruined. After Katrina the federal government agents “tagged “ with paint each such vehicle that they could find and recorded tag numbers and VINs. I have said repeatedly that any non fool would evacuate with his expensive vehicle, exactly what the person posting on the thread that I linked did. He evacuated himself and relatives at to different houses to the states interior far from storm surge and away from the highest winds. Afterwards he charged at a still functional electric charging station.

Logging in would be like deleting an email for me. My AOL email is coming up to a quarter million in unopened emails. I can't even change my email account😁

I get it. I hope to slow down at your age too.  Kind of looking forward to it.

From Bloomberg on 11/14:
"Automaker stocks fell Thursday after Reuters reported Trump is planning to propose Congress kill a $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric cars (this despite his new right-hand man being Tesla co-founder Elon Musk) as part of a promised attack on efforts to cut fossil fuel use. Rivianshares slid 11% and Ford and GM pared earlier gains. Tesla fell nearly 5%, though Reuters says Musk doesn’t mind because killing the credit will damage his rivals. The credit is a signature element of President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which poured billions of dollars into supporting the green transition and on-shoring EV manufacturing. A repeal—which would have to be passed by Congress—would complicate the already bumpy transition away from gas-burning cars. Automakers have pared back plans around EVs this year—Ford scrapped an electric SUV and GM is overhauling its battery plans—on consumer demand for hybrids instead. "

I would hope that anyone who ever believed Musk was advocating for electric vehicles for any egalitarian or environmental reasons has been disabused of that notion.

Considering where most of the new EV and battery plants are located, a full repeal is unlikely. Now I would expect and endorse the cancellation of the leasing loophole that gives tax credits to EVs that are not built in North America.

He’s nothing more than a 21st century robber baron.

I hope you’re right, but this seems far too rational to me.  I don’t think these guys make decisions based on what’s best for the country.
