anyone else ever notice that people like this refer to "Americans" like they're not one. like they are above whatever activity they're belittling. telling isn't it.

I said fuck these car companies. It was car focused. I talked about the science. When people call mainstream science politics, something stupid is going on.

odds are pretty good that most people would be using coal powered electricity to charge their EV. #NotGreenAfterAl

This also assumes it is an apocalypse that doesn't involve a nuclear winter or some other event where there is cloud cover for weeks, months, or years on end. Not sure how well solar power and batteries would have worked during the 1816 "Year without a Summer" volcano event, for example.

Or zombies!

Charging your car would be the least of the problems.

Oh pretty much nothing. Folks in the US have always been prepers at heart.

I really do enjoy being in a forum with a bunch of techs, nerds, and engineers (sometimes all three!).

Sometimes I come back the next day and you guys have only made a handful of posts since the day before. This time, you've made two pages worth, holy hell guys. And I have it set to show the max per page too.

It is odd that this thread can be deserted on weekends! It is like people only hang out here at work. That can't possibly be true though.
