Yup, if we learn anything we will definitely have forgotten it in four years.
Lina Khan has probably been the best and most effective bureaucrat in my lifetime.
It’s so blatantly illegal. WTF is scotus smoking?
Batteries have output power capacities as well as storage capacity. For grid-scale applications it’s common to list both. The EIA announcement that this article is referencing only focused on power capacity, which is directly comparable to a traditional power plant. The EIA could have provided some additional information, but the article is technically correct and doesn’t mix units.
Gas engines generally lack the immediate throttle control/thrust response necessary for use in a multicopter. Why didn’t we see gas RC quadcopters before electric ones? My sniff smells ok.
Would you want a centralized gas engine powering your 4+ rotors causing them all to fail at once or would you like the complexity of 4+ separate ICE engines trying to work in concert with precise torque output?
The lack of imagination in this post is astounding. In this wall of gibberish you only really made three points: range, excess range, and noise.
Range: evtols are not trying to replace GA aircraft, at least initially. They will start out as air taxis and toys for the ultra rich, but most people dramatically underestimate the rate at which battery technology is improving. Being able to travel 100 miles in 30 minutes without spending an hour on each end dealing with the airport is something unavailable today.
Minimum fuel requirements: rules are meant to serve us, not be handed down from on high. If this does apply to evtols it will be changed. It’s a completely different use case. For example the emergency landing options for an evtol are vastly more available than for a Cessna.
Noise: I mean, agreed overall if not in detail. Realistically these things are going to be quieter than a traditional helicopter for sure, but will be higher pitch and swarming around in greater numbers. Annoying AF.
Ahh Reggie, I hear yer quite the man aboot toon
It is news that they are now describing the transaction more accurately, once again thanks to California.
This is relatively unique to the US because there IS a conspiracy. And it’s orchestrated by an unorganized, disconnected cabal of wealthy elite… conservatives, who have for decades advanced a remarkable campaign of anti-intellectualism. The noted scholar Donald J. Trump eloquently described their aims when he spoke about how they “love the uneducated.”
Whole milk also often called “Vitamin D Milk”
How can you guys get any work done around the house if you’re constantly swapping shoes?
Mmm mmm… Don’t you love the taste of supply chain optimization?
So you think $1800 per migrant for a bus ride is an efficient and fair use of taxpayer dollars? You think dumping them in six specific Democrat-led cities is a fair distribution? You think migrants looking for a better life are a burden to be shared and not an economic and cultural benefit?
A teenager’s brain chemistry is rapidly changing due to hormones, etc. I remember a couple days when I was about 14 where I became massively depressed for no apparent reason, just likely a temporary chemical imbalance in my brain. If I had a gun, who knows what I would have done.
Epigenetics. It’s not only about what we experience but what our grandparents experienced.
Anything to avoid spending time with his kids. But seriously, friends who used to work for him said they’d find him at 7am sleeping under conference room tables.
To be clear, this immunity obviously DOES NOT EXIST in the constitution and was invented out of whole cloth.
Taxes are already higher for people without kids. That’s literally the point of the child tax credit.
The ONLY thing I know for certain after this clusterfuck is that Biden would have lost by even more.
