Yesterday, I headed out to the North Cascades Highway with James (jtvisions). The decision to go there or to the Puget Sound beaches boiled down to how much smoke we thought we'd hit. In the end,...

I expect we'll see more "push back" like this. It'll start subtly like this Toyota exec is saying, but as we get closer to the time when everything is supposed to work...it'll get more obvious that...

I saw a suggestion that makes sense...assuming the supporting data was accurate. California imports about 30% of it's electricity. The suggestion was to make California live with their decisions...

I thought electric trucks were to do "truck" things, not for posing on city streets with the bed empty.

That trailer and antique car weighs about the same as a speedboat. Wouldn't that be...

Somebody will get a big promotion for making that proposal. Unfortunately, they will have moved on to make more dumb mistakes by the time someone else has to make it happen.

I feel like you're missing the point David was making. 400 years ago, the earth's temperature was at the same high as today. ...Now...what was man doing 400 years ago that brought the temperature...

So how is the electrical grid holding up, Richard?

Funny...it took little to no looking for facts and data. So...was the price in November 2020 around $2.77...or not? It either was, or wasn't. That's not confirmation bias, that's just facts and...

Agreed. "If the climate quit changing then that would be a change."

One of the things that fascinates me as I ride, especially east of the mountain ranges in Washington through California, is the...

I remember when "Peak Oil" hit the news over 20 years ago. We were supposed to run out of oil. Did we? Or did we continue to find more oil? But...our gov't arbitrarily shut down sources of oil...

I expect it will get far worse. What you see happening now in Germany, will happen here too. Our politicians are following their example.

EV is not the wave of the future, and I expect that'll...

It was during the times of Roosevelt...Teddy, it was. And we were using lead acid batteries in those days.

Maybe yes, maybe no. I was in IT at Boeing for 10 years. Our laptop batteries were dying even though the laptops were plugged in almost 100% of the time. The laptop batteries considered each time...

If you look at the "big picture", the same people who want you to ditch your ICE vehicle are the same ones who are pushing for a digital currency. Not a crypto-currency like Bitcoin, but a sovereign...

I saw this article this morning, and it fits right in with the idea of replacing everything we have now, even if it works just fine.

Actually, I was busy. I'm surprised no one else replied before I did.

I spent a couple weeks this summer down in the Southwest. I think if I lived there, I'd get one of the GS models. There are...

I joined the BMW MOA when I first bought my GT, and stayed a member for 2-3 years. In conversations with other members who had been around much longer than I, it seemed like the BMW MOA leadership...

I went out with James (jtvisions). We headed across some back roads that included a lot of farmland to one of his favorite beaches.

If you look closely, you can see Mt. Baker in the background.
