Have been on 4g implants and the aliens are recommending a 5g upgrade. Not sure if its worth it for the extra bandwidth.

People are being watched alright in all sorts of form and the latest 'face recognition' here is the latest threat to freedom, I believe the press is being censored also.
A friend who works in central London close to the MI6 place witnessed on Tuesday 5 cops who came out of nowhere to down someone who looked like he was homeless then proceeded to brutally kick him from all sides as he covered his head. He apparently took a sandwich from a shop and then started running with it and there is nothing about this on any of the news pages.

In his e-book, “The EV Transition Explained,” Robert Charette, longtime systems engineer, and contributing editor for IEEE Spectrum, says making the transition is harder than anyone thinks.
His argument centers on the lack of planning and systems engineering on initiatives that are politically, not engineering, driven. While change is possible, he suggested it would require trillions more in government spending and enforcing those changes through law.
Profitability. Battery recycling is a still-developing process which is time consuming and expensive. The cost of purchasing recycled materials may be more costly than buying them new.
Mineral shortfalls. Secure and sustainable access to critical minerals like copper, lithium, cobalt, and nickel is essential for a smooth and affordable transition to clean energy. An analysis by the International Energy Agency indicates a “significant gap” between the world’s supply and demand for copper and lithium. Projected supplies will only meet 70% of the copper and 50% of the lithium needed to achieve 2035 climate targets.
Transportation of discharged batteries classified as hazardous waste is one of the costliest steps of the recycling process. Experts suggest updates to federal EPA and DOT regulations for how battery-related waste is classified.
In his opinion, battery recycling issues are even further behind than transitioning the electric grid to renewable energy sources.

Aside from the political/social and gov control angle, which is the real reason behind them and not anything to do with "saving the environment", this is my biggest beef with BEV's. The systems engineering behind them is either all wrong or non-existent.

If we had spent billions/trillions over the past 30-40 years creating affordable nuclear power and that super conducting power grid they were talking about 30 years ago, rather than funding endless wars, death, and destruction around the world via conflicts that the people who profit from such things created, we could have much nicer things. But alas, here we are having these things shoved down our throats with none of the systems engineering needed for them to truly work at scale really in existence.

Fake problems with fake solutions, just like everything else in the world. Ask yourselves who runs it.

Yeah modern "science" is all bought and paid for, and fake. If people can't see that especially after what we all witnessed just a few short years ago, they're never gonna see it and will never wake up. Most people will go to their graves with every last thing they've believed in having been nothing but lies and fakery. The rabbit hole goes deep, but most people can't see the start even when it smacks them in the face, much less question anything they've been told and starting to go down it.

Amen.

But sadly most modern "preachers" cannot even get that right, because they're under the curse too.

Chuck Baldwin gets it. Excellent series.

Just a bunch of BS. There's no way a Nobel prize winner in Physics or a Climatologist with over 50 years of experience can know as much as Greta. That's just crazy talk.

Nothing new in that article. It summarizes what most of us in the "echo chamber" have been saying all along. I have especially been stating EV cost more to own in total inclusive costs and the payback doesn't start until after 80,000 to 100,000 miles, which is 5+ years of ownership. The Professor backs up what I have been saying for years on the Forum. I'm not a Doctorate-holding, Dept. Chair of anything, but I do understand automobile ownership costs. Maybe he's been reading my posts... Lol.

Yes it hit news last year - but more like a swimming/shower cap wit lots of wires, it requires quite a bit of training and active participation of subject and can only detect active thoughts not memories -

Honestly I wish Tesla the best. If you have to buy a EV that is IMO the best choice. I'm seeing more KIA EV's lately.
Seems to be a different customer as it is the younger students driving the Tesla's and the clueless soccer moms driving the KIA's.
