because that EV will be worth nothing in a few years when the battery goes out of it.

Numerous companies such as Green Bean battery company are popping  up to rehab old batteries and resell them for a 1/4 of the cost of new.  The free market is taking care of the battery problems.
I believe this is how Interstate battery company was started-rehabbing used batteries but it's been a while.

Stealing?
Wasn't left abandoned and she found it?
That's what I thought. She and Hunter do seem to leave stuff lying around, and then they whine when someone takes a look at it, whether diary or laptop.

A while back, Mr. M found a brand new Under Armour hoodie lying along the bike trail. After several days went by and no one picked it up, he finally brought it home, washed it thoroughly, and ta-da! I have a very nice new hoodie. I guess I should be waiting for the police to knock on the door for our having appropriated abandoned property.  *****rollingeyes*****

Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / Re: Miranda Devine: We’ve finally found an issue that unites the country — Trump’s potential VP pic

From the article...

Sure, it’s a fact of life on farms and ranches that animals will have to be put down, but to do so in anger, as Noem apparently did, is appalling. The dog was young, and she had failed to train it properly or keep it under control.


Yup

She has poor impulse control so in that sense she's a perfect VP pick for Trump

Don’t buy the left’s gaslighting — ‘outside agitators’ aren’t behind campus antisemitism
By  Andy Ngo

Far-left and pro-Palestine extremists mobilized at Columbia University last week for an occupation that’s shut down campus.

Promoters of revolutionary “direct action” chanted explicitly in support of Hamas and urged the Palestinian Islamist terror group to “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground.”

Over the weekend, a group of pro-Israel counterprotesters were met by a keffiyeh-wearing woman who held up a sign and arrow declaring: “Al-Qasam’s next targets.”

Al-Qassam Brigades is the Hamas military wing that led the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel. ...

Today’s anti-Israel extremism is part of the same moving train that drove violence in 2020, the anti-MAGA riots before that and the campus social-justice craze before that.

In fact, the people and tactics are largely the same.

The campus occupations are modeled after Seattle’s 2020 “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” where masked far-left militants occupied urban land by force and created a separate society that didn’t recognize American laws.  ...

Elections 2024 / Re: Trump slams RFK Jr. in latest social media rant: ‘Wasted protest vote’

RFK Jr. challenging Trump to a debate whole Trump is trying to pressure Biden into having a debate is hilarious.  Love to hear Trump spin why Biden has to debate him while he won't debate RFK Jr.

Because Trump believes Biden's cognitive issues will make  debating difficult for him (Biden)

Trump won't debate anyone that can effectively debate. It's why he ducked the GOP primary debates

You do realize that "Africa" is a continent, not a country, right?  On second thought, maybe you don't.

Again, tired, it was late and I have getting it from multiple posters and on my phone.

The Republic of Congo knows they have a problem. In 2022 they started the first reforms to stop the practice of child mining but it is difficult to enforce. International co's such as Samsung are also under fire for buying the cobalt and they are putting pressure on the Congo to stop the practice.  China said they are putting pressure on Congo because the world is going after them.

The point is you use items every day made from cobalt from Congo but only bash the ev's.

As I've mentioned before, it's time for the red states to start passing "right to use energy" laws, or enshrining such language into state constitutional amendments.

Fight back!

Toyota offers no such range for 2025'2026.  Perhaps you should go back and reread that 2023 article that happened to be the first one that popped up in your Google search.  Oh, and those cars will use lithium-ion batteries.  Maybe you should get your facts straight before posting.  Because your failure to do so makes you come across as a complete fool.

Oh sue me for Toyota changing their timeline from 2 or 3 years ago. Here is the  latest from Toyota . 2026  6 new ev's, lithium 500 mile range, 20 or 30 minute fast charging depending on the model
2027/28 Solid State 750 mile range, 10 minute charging.

The fact is ev's are getting better every year, longer range, prices coming down and most companies other than Tesla are going to solid state eventually.
