Power grid and/or infrastructure. the complete architecture from generation to distribution in CA is pathetic. The path they've chosen is for failure unless a lot of work is done for support before the magical year 2035. NIMBY is a good term to use for CA when it comes to in-state power generation facilities. expansion in this capability within CA is just not happening. When it comes to EV's, many people wear blinders and focus on the media/government message. They put hands over ears and yell "la la la la I can't hear you" when you try to explain the entire life cycle of EV creation, support and disposal. They only prove PT Barnum was right, then parrot the feel good words "it's good for the environment ... see no emissions from a tailpipe or oil to dispose".

too bad she probably uses the chicken byproduct on the garden. i can think of a better place to send the fragrance-of-nature ... 😇

and therein lies the rub ... that infernal ICE and/or self contained electric generation device. the ICE is so bad that CA wants to ban new cars with ICE somewhere around 2035. Is the technology truly ready for this? is the CA power grid ready? 🤣 I can here the music now ... "rolling blackouts here i come ...right back where I started from .." the big push to EV fills a niche need for some people though not for all as being promoted and championed by many now hybrid is another story which seems a respectable compromise. toyota appears to understand this space very well.

DOJ to investigate Trump enemies ? 🤣 Can hear the DOJ report now. "We investigated ourselves and our cronies ... found we did nothing wrong"

Waves bye to the slow moving poorly selling cars. And … good luck to the manufactures journey for electrification of their lineup. May the cars come with long extension cords or a self contained electric generation device.

There is lots of talk about who makes the better rockets and why. I do think that there is a clear leader in this category. DEI and other feel good acronyms aside, let's harken back to the days of yore when NASA had some motivated and smart people working there. The question is .... If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be? My object: A partially vaporized radioactive manhole cover. What would you place on Mars for confuse/confound NASA?

Was nice to see the mountain peaks from Houston

The look on the little guys face was priceless. He defiantly liked and wanted what was being presented. Me drool ?? 😇

Ahh … fond memories of keeping the twins entertained while wifey shops at VS. Me at the store with boys in stroller …. associates would stop-by and lean over to check out the babies … dad gets a wonderful view … and one of the boys gets a hungry look on his face and reaches out for lunch. I wonder why she stopped taking me and the boys to VS while she shops …
