I am guessing solar does not work well when it snows. And that snow sticks around for 3 or 4 months. At least with ethanol (and corn) you can store it for the winter and use it year-round. The "video" highlights: Oil is single use. One use ever. Ethanol is one use PER YEAR. Solar could be...

Winner. Winner. Chicken dinner. A spike out of the blue, example 70 deg, 95 deg, back to 70 deg is hard for any utility to plan for. You don't ramp up and down quickly in any state. Or country for that matter. Accidents happen. Natural disasters happen. Break downs happen. None of it is due to...

Did the truck brake for you or was it up to you with hood up?

Get the safety orange. Tell them next time the deer will see you coming and get out of the way.

I know you are joking. I know you know nothing is "live" when you plug it in. Did you know nothing is live when you unplug also? They make it physically impossible to plug or unplug a hot connection.

You must be in a very unique place. Trees falling. Rural. Sparse population. High winds and preemptive safety power shut offs are not "lack of generating capacity".

Where do you live? What city or town? Because that is, in the big picture, not the case. Facts about California: TWO rolling blackouts in the last 25 years. Both caused by mis-management, not lack of generating capacity.

EV sales are up 45% in March compared to February. Must be a "spring" thing.

Most people say "I will get an EV when it refills as fast as my gas/diesel vehicle does." Well, in China they are about there. A matter of time before it is here.

You need a 10,000 psi hydrogen tank to carry 300 miles worth. Hydrogen being the smallest molecule in the universe leaks like a sieve. It burns so cleanly it burns with an invisible flame. It's also expensive to manufacture. It's anything but safe and practical.

I know you are joking, but as stated above it uses a new generation of battery, maybe stop thinking of it as a battery at all. Think of it as a storage device. And it will never be for home use. Commercial use only. Just like gas stations.

Funny! Ethanol gets a dime of government help for every dollar of subsidy big oil companies get. How come you did not talk about oil subsidies? Big oil is a big problem.

Except your numbers are way off. Ethanol used 14% of the corn. So 14% of the acres makes sense, right? 54% of the corn was sent over-seas. Much of it was sent to Russia before the Ukraine war. So assuming that we stopped doing that as "sanctions" there is more corn available than ever before.

The U.S. grid has 50% more generating capacity right now than demand. Almost zero power plants run at full output. Many run 50%.

Owners should NOT turn off sway control unless they detect a problem with it. Problems will be rare. Turning it off "just because" is stupid. Turning if off is like turning off your air bags. Sure, 99% chance you will be fine. But in case you're in the 1% YOU'RE DEAD.

Let me be clear- Towing 3200 lbs. with my Maverick with a standard ball and no mechanical sway control works beautifully. The electronic sway control had activated ONE TIME in 15,000 miles of towing a heavy high profile camper and was very brief (1 or 2 seconds). It happened when I made the...

Dumbest thing I have heard in at least a year. It's an emergency feature. May turn on never. Has turned on one time in 15,000 miles and that one time was human error on my part. It is like airbags. Shouldn't need them either. But nice to have for piece of mind.

BYD of China now has EV's and EV "Flash Chargers". Flash chargers are apparently the next evolution above Super Fast chargers. On a 500 mile EV: 10% to 70% in 5 minutes. 10% to 97% in 9 minutes.

What happens when you play a country song backwards? Your wife doesn't leave you, Your dog doesn't die, And you get your pickup truck back.

After parking 12 hours, stock battery was showing 12.4v with just the dome light on. Purchased an H4 AGM from WalMart. 4 year free replacement (not pro-rated) warranty. $189 Manuf. 1/26. Resting voltage of the AGM was 13.1v. Noco Genius 5 on AGM setting indicated the off the shelf battery...
