Does that plant have only one shift?  Do they shut down from 5 pm to 9 am?

They have battery backup I believe. Also the new solar panels still get done charge at night through ambient temperature

EV's are not going anywhere and will take over. I drove a Tesla and it was an incredible drive. How many people after buying a battery powered drill still use their plug in drill. Not many. I went to my local Pilot truck stop this morning to get gas and they are putting in 25 ev chargers.

Ford Lightenings was a mistake to begin with but do not blame EV's over them.
Not sure what climate you live in, but up at 48 degrees North, that just isn't going to happen. We'll keep the old ICE vehicles running until you get an EV that has at least 8" ground clearance, 4WD, the ability to carry a ton or better over 300 miles bucking snowdrifts while keeping the cabin 90 degrees or more warmer than the outside air (just at 50-60 degrees F inside), and has enough additional reserve to heat the cabin for 12 hours in case something should go wrong.

We don't buy vehicles for summertime play, but for the worst conditions we might face, and it IS a matter of life and death.

Whom did they steal that technology from?  And how were they able to bypass the laws of physics?  Besides, they already have the best battery they could possibly have.  It is lightweight and doesn't require specialty metals.  It is called a 'hydrogen tank'.


Batteries did not just come out.  They've been around for almost two centuries.

There are lots of battery claims. They're a dime a dozen... They also claim you can charge it in 6 minutes. With what? To charge a 100 kWh battery in 6 minutes takes a million watts... Or over 4,000 amps at 240 V... And that's with 100% efficiency (no losses)...

Nitwit. Biden raised the price of producing and transporting everything in the store with his war on oil, starting day one. Double the price of motor fuels with hostile policies, and that will be reflected in the price of the goods those motors transport.

That does not include extra costs for the energy consumed to keep produce from turning to goo, meat from decomposing, and the cost of the feedstocks that provide the chemicals to make plastic packaging, and other products.

I'd say it's pretty much all on Biden, and trying to shift the blame to producers who are as much victims as shoppers, is just one more example of his incontinent prevarication.

If he was wearing a mask, the BS stain would be apparent to all.

Yet another person in government who is a total idiot when it comes to economics.

Just in case y'all missed this part:


That's the line. Dog crossed it. I have put down a dog I dearly loved over seriously biting the wrong person. Frankly, If I did not, it would have been done for me. It sucks, it's a tough job, but one that has to be done. Doing what has to be done, the hard job, justly, even if it is not popular or enjoyable, when it needs to be done, well, that's something leaders need to have in order to be effective.

Yes, I missed it.  Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm from Pittsburgh. 'Nuff said. They will not get to the World Series in my lifetime. Thankfully, I'm old enough to have seen Clemente, Stargell, et al., in person.

They had some good years with Drabek, Van Slyke, Bonds, Bonilla, and Stan Belinda.  I loved watching Belinda pitch.
