While the survey found that electric vehicles are still less reliable than gas-powered vehicles, Consumer Reports recommended Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y for those interested in purchasing an electric car. Steven Elek, who heads the auto data analytics program at Consumer Reports, said Tesla’s components are “generally reliable,” according to the magazine.

However, Elek added that Tesla still struggles with the build quality of its electric cars.

I would say the Right To Repair should also be on peoples mind when looking at cars.

Reminds me of Apple and how they try to control the repair market to keep profits high and screw consumers.

Right to repair is also not helping EV market.

The newest push for workplace improvement will organize more than 150,000 autoworkers across 13 different automakers: BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Lucid, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo, the union said in a release.

The union said the strongest push will be at the Toyota assembly complex in Georgetown, Ky., where almost 8,000 employees make Camry, RAV4 and Lexus ES vehicles.

“We still build a quality vehicle. People take pride in that, but morale is at an all-time low,” Allen said in the UAW release. “They can give you a raise today and jack up your health benefits tomorrow. A union contract is the only way to win that’s fair.”

The annual car reliability survey by Consumer Reports found EVs are 79 percent more likely to have problems than conventional cars. Consumers reported electric drive motors, charging and EV batteries had the most common issues associated with EVs, according to the survey.

Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports, noted that there may be “growing pains” among EVs because they are based on new technology or are being manufactured by new upstart companies, such as Rivian. He said companies “need some time to work out the bugs,” according to the magazine.

Plug-in hybrids are more likely to have more issues than gas-powered cars, EVs and hybrid vehicles. The survey said that plug-in hybrids have 146 percent more problems than gas-powered cars.

I kind of summarized the video below, please add on if I missed or if y'all have more information!

  • Economies of Scale, Cost per Megawatt, most important metric in electricity market.
  • Looking at Levelized Cost of Energy graphs, Nuclear not as cheap as the rest.
  • Will a capitalist system fix a problem that was caused by capitalism.
  • investing in Nuclear by gov't is requried vs. companies
  • expensive but Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Project may help compete in electricity market

Sad how Nuclear Power plants are not worth it, due to short term vs. long term profits.

“Air pollution from coal is much more harmful than we thought, and we’ve been treating it like it’s just another air pollutant,” said the lead author, Lucas Henneman, an assistant professor in the Sid and Reva Dewberry department of civil, environmental and infrastructure engineering at George Mason University. “This type of evidence is important to policymakers like EPA [the US Environmental Protection Agency] as they identify cost-effective solutions for cleaning up the country’s air, like requiring emissions controls or encouraging renewables.”

The coal plants associated with most deaths were located east of the Mississippi River in industrialized states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, where power stations were historically constructed close to population hubs. But every region had at least one plant linked to 600 deaths, while 10 were associated with more than 5,000 deaths across the study period.

About 85% of the total 460,000 coal plant-related deaths occurred between 1999 and 2007, an average of more than 43,000 deaths per year. The death toll declined drastically as plants closed or scrubbers – a type of sulphur filter – were installed to comply with new environmental rules. By 2020, the coal PM2.5 death toll had dropped 95%, to 1,600 people.

Thanks!

Looking more into the song, wow:

Ebin is named after a former classmate of Bradley Nowell’s from UC Santa Cruz. However, the lyrics to the song are entirely fictional and unrelated to the real Eben (Bradley misspelled his name), who was not at all a Nazi. In fact, he was Jewish! While Eben was initially disturbed by the song, especially because he believed that Bradley had stolen its melody from his song “Celebration,” he admired Bradley’s voice and eventually became a devoted Sublime fan, even growing to like the song “Ebin.”

The full story (told by Eben himself) can be read here:.. ...Eben Sterling

Eben Sterling is quoted a couple of paragraphs in the link below:

This piano ballad grand masterpiece became the signature song and the centerpiece of their simultaneous twin double album releases Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II.

Clocking in at almost 9 minutes, “November Rain” features Rose’s desperate vocal and heartfelt piano. A depressing autumn tale of lost love, Slash’s inspired soaring guitar solos and the band’s dramatic dynamics over a crescendo of a swirling string section backed by a powerful choir make the song an instant classic.
