Main Paineframe posted:at least China is building nuclear plants, unlike the "more advanced nations" that have either stopped building or are actively reducing their nuclear capacity no, you see we just import the power from our nuclear energy neighbours at a premium  on a more serious note, this country recently announced its plan to withdraw from coal power within the next 12 years which is a fairly sensible goal i think.

yeah if someone is touting a reduction of coal and oil its because they've got a nice big supply of natural gas.

Cocoa Crispies posted:what's the replacement though?  extrapolate the growth in regenerative energy and itll make up for the major part of the current Coal Power (hence why a 12 year plan is a sensible option in my opinion). Natural Gas is the obvious second although its percentage remained pretty much identical over the last decade. Im not against that though, Natural Gas emits only a fraction of the Carbon dioxide of coal for a given amount of extracted energy.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:'the tipping point' is very hypothetical still, a lot of decent cases made but it is by necessity an extrapolation with a lot of unknowns. one should *certainly* not use the idea of a tipping point as an argument to not to try to do better at all if we don't do it as part of a plan that beats some strict supposed limit It's all a bit silly cuz often the Temps people want to return to are the already elevated Temps from a solid century or more after industry started to raise stuff notably, it's not like theres any evidence those temperatures are inherently "stable"

consumer reports' main metrics for car recommendations are "does it have four seats" and "does it have a good safety rating" so yeah sure why not.

it was them who discovered the brakes didn't work properly as well the fact that they fixed this by an over-the-air update is not a positive

yeah, resetting an odometer is something I’ve always thought was downright fraudulent. fake edit: unless it’s clearly indicated on the title that the reading is the incorrect.

I have used an early 80s Civic to pull puckups out of the snow in Vermont. I literally kept long jumper cables and truck straps in the back in winter

If I recall correctly, they aren't sold as "used" cars but they aren't really allowed to be sold as "new". That person usually angles for those because they tend to be in pretty decent condition, because a lot of times they sit in malls.

a car is "new" until it gets issued a title, at which point it stops being "new," however any halfway decent dealership will offer a new car with significant mileage at a fairly decent discount. so basically if tesla can somehow show it was never titled then there's nothing illegal here, even if someone's house is programmed into it, though it's certainly an extremely lovely practice. i'm gonna say that's unlikely, though.
