Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Don't leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

The most recent phase of the US war against Germany began with Obama's "cash for clunkers" and the bullshit attack on German turbo diesels. With turbo diesels getting 50+ miles per gallon, there was no reason to ever make an electric car. So, Obama's cronies took most used cars off the market and ginned up some bullshit lawsuit about turbo diesel emissions thereby shutting the whole turbo diesel project down. This created a fake market for electric cars that nobody really wanted anyway.

Almost time to resurrect the horse and buggy. EROEI will rule in the end.

Sorry, but no. If you want streets that are nothing but rivers of horse poop and urine, OK. Otherwise give me a good old internal combustion vehicle, although I am fascinated by fuel cells.

I dunno if fuel cells will save humankind, John. In the meantime, drill baby, drill!

John Schrauth's avatar

I am enthusiastic about "drill baby drill." It's hard to imagine fuel cells becoming the thing any time soon. I recall Toyota saying in the mid 90's there would be a fuel cell RAV 4 in 2000. 25 years on they have a car finally but hydrogen is harder to find than a working Tesla charger in a Blue shithole. Also Trump's admonition that they're great but might explode. LOL!

The electric vehicle industry shut down fuel cell research. I saw many operative fuel cells at a conference I attended in 2001. Then, they all disappeared.

As JHK said long ago, trying to control hydrogen in a relatively dumb car public is a big problem. Boy, you think Pintos blew up when hit from behind? Imagine the Hindenburg every time an accident happens, or the reaction around a leaky “pump” when the local idiot lights up a cigar.

Gas isn't flammable, right?

JohnAZ's avatar

Sure it is, but not near as volatile as hydrogen, plus the small size of the hydrogen molecule makes leaks more of a problem.

rd3's avatar

There are multiple ways to store it safely.

JohnAZ's avatar

Yeah, until the first one blows sky high.

A BMW electric car burned my neighbors house to the ground.

As Toyota, Tesla etc., move towards solid state batteries, the bad parts of Lithium should decline. You are right though, Lithium is bad news as long as they do not know what makes it ignite and control that environment. Plus, BRICS+ controls the market.
