the other thing is that people have no sense of how much space cars and so they imagine that a road full of cars must be a lot of people when it very often is not. a well-used bike lane transports like twice as many people during a given time as does a road

Extremely frustrating to hear legal experts analyzing the SCOTUS ruling on immunity like just another case - it's an inherently normalizing act. People need to stop playing constitutional Calvinball and treat them like political actors.

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

There are two camps here: One understands what basic-ass AC charging can do and that overnight charging takes care of all local needs full stop. That's me, wishing we focused on this. The other imagines EVs getting used like ICE vehicles, and pulls the trigger assuming this makes sense.

I think this gets its exactly right. Tesla's "big battery plus fast chargers on freeway" model bootstrapped EV demand, but the next wave of adoption requires both policy and sales narrative to emphasize home charging. This centers the EV's superpower (a full tank every morning), not its shortcomings

Holy shit: McKinsey study finds that 46% of US EV drivers are likely to switch back to internal combustion, and cite lack of charging infrastructure as top reason. Globally some 29% are considering going back to gas. If this is remotely accurate, buckle up!

After the Court’s decision yesterday, I think there’s an argument from necessity for Biden seizing Trump and trying him by military tribunal, given the sudden unavailability of Article III courts. Plus, itʼs just the sort of thing they’ve authorized an active and energetic chief executive to do.
