Solar panels are incredibly thin and light. There is no reason not to include them.

Lina Khan has probably been the best and most effective bureaucrat in my lifetime.

It's so blatantly illegal. WTF is scotus smoking?

No. That's crazy talk.

She won't do shit cause she has to get reelected in four years.

They still sell physical copies of games? TIL

Batteries have output power capacities as well as storage capacity. For grid-scale applications it's common to list both. The EIA announcement that this article is referencing only focused on power capacity, which is directly comparable to a traditional power plant. The EIA could have provided some additional information, but the article is technically correct and doesn't mix units.

He gets a lot right, and some things very, very wrong with way too much confidence

I saw old women with straw brooms sweeping the side of the (active) freeway.

Nah, even if it was the best car, fuck Elon. I'd rather drive a shitbox.

Gas engines generally lack the immediate throttle control/thrust response necessary for use in a multicopter. Why didn't we see gas RC quadcopters before electric ones? My sniff smells ok.

Would you want a centralized gas engine powering your 4+ rotors causing them all to fail at once or would you like the complexity of 4+ separate ICE engines trying to work in concert with precise torque output?

The lack of imagination in this post is astounding. In this wall of gibberish you only really made three points: range, excess range, and noise.

Range: evtols are not trying to replace GA aircraft, at least initially. They will start out as air taxis and toys for the ultra rich, but most people dramatically underestimate the rate at which battery technology is improving. Being able to travel 100 miles in 30 minutes without spending an hour on each end dealing with the airport is something unavailable today.

Minimum fuel requirements: rules are meant to serve us, not be handed down from on high. If this does apply to evtols it will be changed. It's a completely different use case. For example the emergency landing options for an evtol are vastly more available than for a Cessna.

Noise: I mean, agreed overall if not in detail. Realistically these things are going to be quieter than a traditional helicopter for sure, but will be higher pitch and swarming around in greater numbers. Annoying AF.

Ahh Reggie, I hear yer quite the man aboot toon

Second one is more likely to be the actual intent in a McCarthy novel...

It is news that they are now describing the transaction more accurately, once again thanks to California.

Nobody gives a flying fuck about campaign finance laws with this supreme court.

This is relatively unique to the US because there IS a conspiracy. And it's orchestrated by an unorganized, disconnected cabal of wealthy elite... conservatives, who have for decades advanced a remarkable campaign of anti-intellectualism. The noted scholar Donald J. Trump eloquently described their aims when he spoke about how they "love the uneducated."
