Yes, storage is usually 2-3 times more expensive than production. Look up LCOE and LCOS to learn more. Glad we could get to the bottom of your misunderstanding.
This doesn't include cost of storage. It's mentioned in the article but not included in the numbers and is necessary for a fair comparison.
I'm trying to disentangle that EVs wear out from both usage as well as calendar time, you say it's usage "primarily" but you're assuming a certain use case there. With zero driving, top of the line battery management,…
My 2000 Volvo (gas) had a fly by wire throttle. You'll have to go back to the 90s for a cable control.
I'll point out one area that EVs are inferior in lifespan - calendar life of the battery. I use a bicycle for day to day and take the car only on road trips so I only end up driving about 5k mi/yr or so, maybe 10k if I…
That 14% describes farebox recovery which is mostly low due to subsidized transit, not evasion. They say that number is "funded x% by riders paying fares" which is not the same as "y% of riders pay fares" that you…
Transit source seems fine I think you're just misinterpreting it. That first source says about a third board without paying, not 90%. The 90% number you're quoting is I assume from the <10% farebox recovery which is a…
Including the cost of the batteries to make it stable over the day? Would need a source for that. My understanding is it comparable at best, but certainly not "much cheaper".
Source for the 90% number and rampant looting? This sounds like low-quality "information"/propaganda to me.
The fundamental difference is that suspending something heavy over a waterway incurs significant cost - more structure needed to hold it up, harder to clean, etc. No idea how that cost balances out against benefits, but…
Very shallow answer to a valid question. The vast majority of people know that word btw, that's not some revelation.
As in programmer's "this"?
I'm just addressing the text of your comment of incredulity at Walmart's building footprint. The tone of this one is different so I'll accept that as concession.
Walmarts have more stormwater runoff than Costcos?
You're shifting the goalposts from an earlier comment that claimed they would be "all drain". But that's ok, maybe you could compare that money to what a strip mall would provide in tax? I would find that analysis more…

Also a dead giveaway: >That's what matters
It's probably Florida or some other gulf state with weather risk. Could be California with wildfire risk but then they wouldn't have tax increases. In both of these states insurance is going crazy without the property…
I don't know man, I'm just telling you what I see in the conversation: OP: Complaint about taxation without representation A: Acktually it's called suffrage not representation B: This phrase has been in use forever and…
If you want to be genuine about investigating this issue you would obviously compare countries of equal wealth and economic power, but we all know that's not your goal. Could actually be a very interesting comparison if…

The person you're replying to knows this. You're missing their point.
The thesis of the person you're replying to seems to be that this is just another in the long line of mechanized crafts, and that it's hypocritical not to be equally anti-loom as anti LLM, for example. At least that's…
It's not uncommon for free things to be higher quality than cheap things, especially when we're not talking about physical goods. Think hobbyist vs hack. Selective pro bono vs quantity over quality. The former describes…
