High-Speed Rail in Europe
Here’s an article that predicts the completion of a number of high-speed railroad connections in Europe by the year 2045. I don’t see it, because: France’s TGV, initiated 40 years ago, already offers services that extend to Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, …
Does This RV Run on Solar Energy?
Here’s yet another EV whose manufacturers (falsely) claim to run exclusively on solar energy. The math goes like this: depending on where on Earth you live, you’re receiving about 1000 Watts per square meter while the sun is close to …
Solar PV on Electric Vehicles
We’ve commented a few times on concepts that involve putting solar PV on the surfaces of EVs, like this one, Pi Energy. They’re calling for investors to pony up $500. Here’s an idea that may appeal to people who know …
Toyota: A Company with No Integrity
As suggested below, Plug-In America co-founder and 2GreenEnergy supporter Paul Scott is pretty cheesed off at Toyota, and for good reason. Yes, their Prius get ~50 MPG, but most of the vehicles in their fleet are gas guzzlers. They sell …
Questions About EVs and Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles
If you were trying to explain the phrase “tongue in cheek,” to someone unfamiliar with the idiom, the line of questioning below would be a terrific example. Great work.
No Reduction In Oil Consumption in Norway…But Why?
Robert Rapier is a “somebody” in the world of energy and sustainability, and he writes about the graph here and below: Robert: Morgan Stanley has now noticed something I have mentioned many times. Despite the highest growth rate of electric …
