I do not like EVs, and not just Tesla's. But YOU try to get Americans to fund and plan decent mass transit. Let alone use it. EVs can be nothing but a stop-gap. It seems senseless to continue to pilot individual hunks of metal around town.
It's a matter of scale. It's relatively easy to expand infrastructure in the 'burbs. You must have noticed how far apart things are when you have driven through Wyoming, amirite? That's the problem.
Fair point. To me that's just an infrastructure issue that we'll have more or less solved by 2035 at the current rate of investment. You can't go thousands of km on one tank of petrol, you fill up on the way. It'll be the same with filling up on electrons. My company put in the purchase order for our first 2 electric semis this year and I'm pretty interested to see how that goes.
CNET has admitted that they use AI to answer questions from their readers. I wonder which TV studio will be first to use AI for script writers. You thought US TV was inane before, you ain't seen nothin' yet. With text to video coming down the pike, Sinclair is probably planning to lay off local news staffs.
I don't remember if it was Wyoming or the flyover next door, but I pulled off to I-80 for gas and grabbed a burrito. Then I saw a sign for a city park which turned out to have an Atlas ICBM in it. Weird.
Not really. Australia's a huge place with a small and very spread-out population - not great for good public transport. You have to have a car when you get to your destination ANYWAY, so most people just drive. Even domestic flights are sparse and very expensive. There's two seriously long distance trains, the Indian Pacific and the Ghan, but they're luxury travel experiences rather than serious get-places options.
He was only a two-banger anyway. Just ask his...oh, never mind, not going there.
I seem to recall there are motor fleets that use natural gas. They can and indeed do power vehicles.
Do folks travel by rail much in Australia? The US system is embarrassing.

The situation is crystal-clear.
Not sure I'd use ugly. It's empty and you can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles - oh yeah...

Isn't Jellystone there?

There is also Stinking Water Pass.

Politics are polarizing.

Thanks! I fell in love with train travel when I was in the US Army in Europe, Amtrak (the US "System") is pretty disappointing.
