"How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me

Tell me now, how do I feel?"

ICEs are inevitably the snail cars at the front of traffic jams, pulling away much slower than the EVs behind them, which have superior traction and power delivery.

Outrage over Israeli soldier's vandalism of Jesus statue in Lebanon The Israeli military says it views with "great severity" the actions of the soldier, as the US ambassador demands "swift" consequences.

That's the worst possible idea.
They would just install big gas turbines like Elmo in Tennessee.
They should be measured and forced to report on their PUE, WUE, and CUE...

New Hungarian PM brutally confronts a news channel that banned him for years.

Emphasis matters.

We are in the age of electrification. The enemies of electrification are fossil fuels.
Supposedly "reasonable" people railing against electrification are likely to be unwitting or deliberate actors on behalf of the fossil fuel industry.

at what point of negligence does the threshold change from ignorance to deliberate fraud / tax evasion? When is Dicky going to prison?
