Yes!!! That was great.

Thanks for the Samuel L Jackson ad. Beautiful. I’m planning to get a mother fucking hybrid soon. I’d like to go EV but it’s out of my price range and I’m not sure we’ll have the infrastructure for a longer trip.

My son's had his EV since 2015, hasn't bought gas since then. We put our solar panels on in 2016. It charges his EV and the leased one my husband has.

You're right. But two things:

Texas is redrawing their map to get more congressional Republican seats. Other red states may do it too.

Second: my stupid conspiracy theory, is the Trump and Musk feud is a farce to convince people Musk isn't working behind the scenes to help Trump take over. That's all Musk cares about is the country being run by an Oligarch who let him grab more money than he already has.

Only serious foresighted people consider those questions. In Berkeley, the City Council now allows people in the flatlands (developers) to build 1-3 story homes in their back yards, so more people can live here. Note, I didn't mention parking here, or have a water supply or as you say, sewer services. Solar is possibly a given, if the panels aren't blocked by the building next door. And our water comes from the Sierras, IF it snows. This is has already been passed.

Exactly. Another gaudy atrocity to match that illegal flying whorehouse gift. Remember when the spray painted ass face called the beloved White House a dump?

LOL ... he is such a bumbling boob. The man is so totally full of himself ... and sadly his cult buy into it ... as does many mainstream and influential news media outlets. He's hilarious but dangerous at the same time. But if more spoke out knowing there are more of us than there is of him, he'd find himself in a very bad state ... but every reporter and demonstration needs to be on board, demanding answers ... but it is not happening fast enough and he changes so much which could prevent it from actually happening.

I will never understand the "windfarms are ugly" thing. First time I saw one, on top of a distant hill near Dannemora NY in 2001, I thought it was awesome. Slow-moving, silent, gaceful. A GOOD piece of a futuristic scifi vision of man's ingenuity. Compare that to the early industrial age skylines of black smoke-belching behemoth chimneys.
