  • It really is that bad. Watch the videos of Biden from the Democratic convention in 2008 if anyone has any doubts.

    I remember in 2015 I thought the most pathetic ballot would be Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush because it would be like we lived in a hereditary monarchy. I had no idea how bad Trump was and underestimated him bigly.

    Still, since we know fascism is characterized by the near worship of a strongman leader, I’m perfectly fine taking the opposite approach. If Biden is in cognitive decline, so what? As long as his administration continues to do good work, his administration gets my vote.









  • I’ll layer on to the other replies which are spot on…

    One reason I’ve soured on hydrogen is that it’s overall much less efficient than battery as an energy storage mechanism.

    This is a really in depth article about a study that found that “well to wheel” efficiency of battery EVs was 70-80% and with hydrogen it’s 25-30%.

    I was initially excited about hydrogen as energy storage for renewable sources, but battery tech has improved and is improving.

    Also, one of the major advantages of a BEV for me is the ability to charge at home, possibly from energy generated by my own panels. Even if there were solutions for me to generate my own hydrogen, I’d rather lose 20-30% of that energy with a BEV than lose 70-75% with a FCEV.
