A "puree" marble in a glass of water... why, it's almost invisible exept for the studio lights reflecting off it!

     

:rofl:

If that were a glass of glycerin instead of water, there would be no reflections at the boundary.  They have the same refractive index  :)

When CNN's legal analyst says there's multiple serious problems with the prosecution's case, well... damn.

I can only hope his sentiment is prophetic

Note to self: check supply of iodine tablets.

Plus There's a few ammo sales going on right now in case you want to combine this with the Trump arrest thread.  =D

The Roundtable / Re: More on the EV boondoggle

No capacity factors needed there.  Going all BEV would consume at least half the annual electricity production in the USA, just to charge the batteries so our economy could continue to function.

There is no rationalizing use of off-peak hours or anything else that will get around the need to massively expand our electricity generating capacity to meet that level of demand increase.

The people in power that are pushing BEVs are simultaneously restricting power plant capacity expansion.

As I said before, the goal is to make the average person unable to own a vehicle at all.  If you (zahc) can't see that you are willfully blind.

Converting a large fraction of the passenger car fleet to BEV will consume a similar amount of power production.  282mil cars, average 15,000 miles per year, 4 miles per kwh (optimistic) is a little over 1 trillion kwh.  Out of a little over 4 trillion kwh production.
