Big inroads for H2 perhaps starting in 5 years. Batteries are enough to progress until then. Solar deployments will need an H2 outlet to keep using up solar capacity. Very likely to be yet another China driven tech boom.

portable H2 is gateway to urban distributed H2. Appliances and refills either from home or from nearby businesses. Powerstations/backup/UPS power is a pretty universal application. Everything depends on green H2 retail prices though.

Another possibility is that the opposition parties unite to form the government - the largest one, the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), won 148 seats up from 98 previously.

But that is a more unlikely scenario as Japan's opposition parties historically have faced difficulty in uniting or convincing voters they are a viable option to govern.

Extremely strange conclusions. If they won the election there is no "convincing voters" step for parliamentary alliances. I don't know if BBC is displaying outrageous favoritism, or if Japan is truly weird.

I don't know details of space contracts. Seems SpaceX has more capabilities, and so on merits, could be argued to get new contracts or replace underperforming contractors. It got paid to fix Boeing failure, for example, despite Musk being all in on GOP. The bribe level favouring Trump is sure to outweigh Bezos influence on top of merits.

Pro war people do it for love apparently, despite oligarchy profiting extensively and able to pour some trickle down on you, but no one can ever be against the human suffering and economic destruction, just at home, caused by warmongering evil without being paid to not support the demonism.

Ok, thank you. There was a lot of unspent covid relief allocations, fussed over without anyone in congress trying to force the spending. It would seem impossible to impose quality of spending criteria.

Recent post around here said "democrats will shift to the right if they lose". Yes that overton window will be "only get 1 year prison if they accuse the father of rape" shift.

No. It is aerodynamics vs weight balance. Low speed, weight matters a lot. High speed takes major power to overcome air resistance especially if geometry is like a Harley instead of a motosport race bike. Electric motors are most efficient at top RPMs.

Ebikes are doing well. Surron style "small motorcycles" and Cafe/scooters seem to do well in North America.

45-60kph top speed is really the sweet spot for an ebike. With most travel about 30kph. The step above that needs 1500w charging, but batteries are almost always optimized for performance instead of charging rate. 2-3 hours to full is not that great, and a heavier bike getting 1500wh might get just 80km range over 2 hours.

It's normal for all ebikes to have 1 hour of range at full speed. Fewer practical use for this at motorcycle speeds. An EV like Citroen Ami ($6000 car at 45kph max speed) will have more range and practicality despite parking hassles than an expensive e-moto.

Biden won by running more left than he was. Even if you think entire public is behind diminishing Russia and China, just because there's a bipartisan consensus for it, the economic damage caused by Ukraine war and lying about the causes of the economic damage is a certain weight on DNC. The pure demonic evil of neocon empire, but no one talking about it, still finds its way into brainless voters' bones.

Winner will be based on turnout. Enthusiasm and hope gets missed when DNC feels like a fundraising organization that got its dream opponent, and still failed to run away with the election. The "more right" solution is just certain collapse of US and any faith in democracy or zionist media that genuinely favours the most zionist candidate, when genocide is so easily at reach.

Van life may still be popular, and these should hold value more than other EVs because of that, and because refurbishing interior makes more sense on used vehicles. Cargo model has a 2.4kw inverter built in.

Range is not amazing, but its reasonable to make it cheaper. US maybe improving slowly, but models keep getting better. Seems much better than ICE model with operating savings and rebates.
