The Post-Partisan Emporium

  You’ve always wanted to live in a permanent Disneyland—believing that electric cars have zero emissions.   In the world of electric vehicles, where the allure of green technology meets the practicality of everyday life, there are those who embrace the electric revolution with a unique flair. Enter the unapologetic connoisseur of contradictions, the embodiment of the unexpected, the aficionado of electric eccentricities, and a character worthy of exploration. Here are 18 reasons why you really need an electric car:   1. You’re a Tolstoy enthusiast who’s never quite conquered the monumental War and Peace. Fear not, for that long charging queue becomes your literary sanctuary where you can immerse yourself in 1,225 pages of Russian opulence while your electric steed gains its much-needed energy boost. 2. Fine dining at Chiswick, Margaret, and Quay is a given, but have you truly lived until you’ve sampled the delights of the local servo? Post-War and Peace, dive into the exquisite world

Toyota's Green Image Isn't What You Think. For One, Where Are The Electric Vehicles? By Katherine García  August 31, 2022 ( Katherine García is the director of the Sierra Club's Clean Transportation for All campaign) In 2000, Toyota was at the cutting edge of automobile technology with its brand new hybrid Prius. Now, over 20 years later, Toyota – once the leader in climate friendly vehicles – is at the back of the pack and hiding behind the green vision they once led.  The fact is: a hybrid today is not green technology. The Prius hybrid runs on a pollution-emitting combustion engine found in any gas-powered car. Ironically, Toyota misleads about its existing Prius technology by borrowing electric vehicle descriptions: Toyota touts that the Prius is self-charging and that there is "no need to plug in." But plugging in is essential for improving air quality and slashing climate pollution. As the transportation industry is the single largest source of greenhouse ga

In relation to this article  I need to share with my fellow MMS/3i's, that for some reason now "think" that nuclear energy is what we need to reach some moronic level by 2030, or 2040, or 2050 (the target year is dependent on the Green Gang one belongs to), another little piece of Reality Unit 3 is an  EPR  reactor and has been under construction since 2005. The start of commercial operation was originally planned for May 2009  but was postponed repeatedly. The reactor eventually started up on 21 December 2021, and electricity production started on 12 March 2022. In May 2022, foreign material was found in the turbine steam reheater, and the plant was shut down for about three months of repair work.  Regular production is expected to begin in December 2022, after a test production phase. So... Finland (a Plantation with experience building these tools) has been building a single reactor since 2005! After 17 YEARS  the unit is still in testing phase and WITH LUCK will start

A long time ago, I believe it was last year, I shared a FUN 1,000 pages pdf with the title: "Assessment of the Extra Capacity Required of Alternative Energy Electrical Power Systems to Completely Replace Fossil Fuels" Now I can share a brief video with the author of the pdf talking about it... It's almost a comedy special! I hope my fellow MMS/3i's enjoy it and embrace the Green Delusion. For those that would like to waste time reading that 1,000 pages pdf here is the link

Any city whose lifeblood ultimately depends on  hyper-globalization  and  hyper-financialization  will no longer be viable. The human migration from the countryside to cities has been an enduring feature of civilization.  Cities concentrate wealth, productivity and power, and so they're magnets to talent and capital, offering newcomers the greatest opportunities. Cities are efficient, packing population, productivity and wealth creation into small areas.  Slums and sweatshops are immensely profitable, and cramming people into centers of manufacturing is far more efficient than scattering people and production across a landscape. Cities generally arose on coastal harbors, navigable rivers  or the confluence of overland trade routes, as these hubs enabled profitable trade and transport of goods protected by defensible barriers. In sum, cities offered unmatchable advantages over more widely distributed settlements, trade and production. Given their typically strategic location and reg
