The only possible approach would be to use surplus electricity from intermittent sources such as solar or wind as a store of energy, or, for industrial uses.
The first use of real green hydrogen should be to displace brown hydrogen in industrial uses. Why hasn't it happened? Because even this is not economically viable.
Its strange how people still think it is a coincidence that Musk founded Tesla, SpaceX, OPenAI/ChatGPT, xAI (
Was there meant to be a sarcasm tag in your post? Musk didn't found Tesla in any meaningful manner. He invested after the company had already been created. The same of the AI companies.
SpaceX may be one company he founded, after the original X/PayPal (note that he didn't found PayPal and, in fact, he had some ludicrous ideas of how the infrastructure should be changed after he came on board). Neuralink and the Boring Company: the only thing different from Musk and all the other people who had the same ideas is money, and perhaps, a lack of scruples.
Musk has used his money strategically. He had a huge advantage early on, in coming from a wealthy family. None of that makes him stupid, but it is very likely there are far more people who could have been as, or more, successful given Musk's start in life.
Didn't Microsoft originally claim that Windows 10 would be the last version ow Windows, with, one assumes, endless updates?

And something nobody has mentioned yet- the WEAR on the batteries. Those expensive batteries have a service life, and with every discharge, they lose more life. That probably costs way more than the measly sub-wholesale rate being paid. I mean, really, $150 per "Season" (which probably means year) is a joke.
I agree that $150/year is laughably small. I can't imagine why anyone would sign up for this, unless there is also some payment for the electricity supplied by the battery.
But most Lithium batteries don't "wear" in the way you imagine, although it does depend on the exact battery chemistry. Most lose capacity from spending time at very high and very low charge states.
Think of it this way: in an EV car, during a typical journey, the battery is charged and discharged hundreds of times.
Intel spent the last 15 years doing non-stop stock buy Backs instead of investing in their company .
True. Note that the biggest buybacks occurred under the CEO who has an MBA and whose employment history was on the financial side, not engineering.
I wonder if this, or something similar is already used in place and route tools for chips and PCBs?
Driverless cars are going to create jobs? More trips on the UK crowded roads are going to improve life in the UK?
While I agree with you that brake lights should come on when decelerating, irrespective of the reason (regeneration, engine braking, etc), my point was that the issue is somewhat overblown.
The market will make products manufactured in the US more desirable,
Which products are those?
And if you think tariffs don't work, why do other countries use them?
I suggest you study some history of economics. There is plenty of evidence that tariffs don't work.
but it seems like both Canon and Sony are taking advantage of Fujifilm's large price increases to pad their own pockets, strategically.
The article mentions Canon as putting up prices already, so that part isn't true. But padding their own pockets? Without price increases, they are absorbing the tariffs themselves, which will take money from their own pockets.
I can use engine braking in my manual car to slow it down, without lighting up the brake lights.
So where does the news come from without reporters? Will all "news" just become rehashed PR statements and AI hallucinations?
AI needs input. Without reporters, there is no input for real news.
Most audits are for people with Sched-C or K-1 income.
Today.
What the IRS chief appears to be saying is that there will be more audits, which implies more audits for people with lower incomes. In other words: many ordinary Trump voters.
Annoyingly, the UK won't allow you to file electronically if you are non-resident.
As in, too much food. More calories in than out.
No, it's the wrong type of food. Food that has excessive empty calories. Bought by parents who work 2 or 3 jobs and don't have time and resources to buy healthy food.
If it wasn't for Newton, we wouldn't have to eat bruised apples.
