Tesla Towing Silverado Truck Out Of A Charger Station

newtboy says...

I found the sentiment appropriate for any douche that blocks charging stations intentionally, diesel truck or Honda Civic.
I say treat them like people parking in handicapped parking spots...maybe don't shoot them like in Florida, but I have no problem with someone removing the offenders by any means they see fit, with any damage done being the parker's responsibility. I also would have no problem if the valves were removed from at least two tires, forcing them to be towed to a tire shop afterwards.
Use your car to be a dick, don't whine when you lose it or find it damaged.

Sorry, I'm definitely only referring to the coal-rolling shitstains that have nothing better to do than passive-aggressively bully other people.

If you don't like electric vehicles, don't buy one.

Don't see anyone blocking diesel pumps.

Ps. I don't own or want an EV, and my Mustang definitely gets worse mileage than any diesel, by design. If someone looks down their nose at me, I'm not going to do shit to innocent bystanders just because I'm a whiny little bitch like the ICEing dicks.

That seems a little harsh given the vast majority of the car owning public can’t afford a BEV.

Although parking in a charging station is definitely a dick move.

Haitian Prime Minister resigns amid fuel price protests

ChaosEngine says...

I'd love to be wrong.

But even with less demand for gas and diesel for ground transport, we'll still need petrochemicals for air transport and plastic production (neither of which are going away any time soon).
Ultimately, they are a finite resource and even ignoring the effects of climate change we are going to run out eventually (especially if there's continued exponential growth).

The only good news is that IF we can produce enough EVs and enough renewable electricity to run them, that cost won't hurt most people (at least not in transport terms).

But even then, it will (optimistically) be a decade or two before EVs outnumber ICEs.

So yeah, IMO, fuel is going to go up.

I hope you are wrong. A few countries have announce goals for increasing the percentage of electric cars on their roads. The reduction in sales for gas and diesel cars should lead to less demand... maybe...

Get used to it. Fuel prices are going to increase drastically in the next few decades.

The 89-Year Old Who Built the Train of the Future

radx says...

Keeping a sealed pneumatic tube along the entire track? Sounds like a maintenance nightmare, to be honest. How do you switch rails? How do you get a stranded propulsion module off the track (can't just get a diesel locomotive to drag the thing, can you now)? What are the backup breaking systems for failures on those 10% grades?

I suppose this might at the very best be a niche thing, more so than the current Transrapid/Maglev system. Airport shuttles, maybe.

The Most Powerful Plant on Earth? | The Hemp Conspiracy

newtboy says...

Hemp for victory!

First I've heard of it being used for toxic waste and radiation remediation, but the idea that you could take the radioactive/toxic hemp and make diesel seems scary, wouldn't the exhaust still be radioactive or toxic?

Worlds First Flat-Pack Truck

ForgedReality says...

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They didn't really show putting the engine in. I was assuming it would be electric or something and they just pack the batteries in. But it sounds like a diesel. Seems misleading.

HenningKO said:

Flat-pack? That means all the components can come easily stacked in a box, huh. Including the engine???

MASSIVE Yellow Jacket wasp nest in Florida

Mordhaus says...

Trade secret method was probably the old school "catch them early in the morning before they swarm and mist the nest with diesel fuel. The vapor penetrates the nest and kills them.

Problem is, it's not exactly legal to mist a few gallons of diesel into the environment. It's a lot cheaper than the foam stuff though.

Revenge Of The Turkish Truckdriver

nanrod says...

The problem with this kind of retaliation is that only one guy was tailgating but everybody pays the price. I would definitely track him down and put gasoline in his diesel tank.
