  1. For Lockridge, the engineer, this has got to be the worst feeling. He was right, he tried to stop it and was fired and sued for his well founded concerns.

  2. Makes complete sense why plants hate green light. Green light evaporates water so plans reflect it away to reduce water evaporation.

  3. For decades property developers have filled in wetlands and built homes, strip malls and shopping centers on them. Wetlands are natures over flow, flood storage and ground water recharge ares. Wetlands need to be protected, expanded and appreciated for the flood control and water storage that they provide.

  4. Need more engineers, less lawyers in government that is in my opinion the primary reason for poor management with catastrophic consequences.

  7. One tiny little quibble: You mentioned that you should cut back on the seat heaters to extend range. Using the seat heaters on an EV uses very little electricity. For that reason, it is suggested that you USE the seat heater and cut back on the cabin temperature. Seat heaters are your friend.

  8. I was a Flight Attendant for a major carrier for 23 years. I've always been astounded that DCA was open to commercial traffic, especially when Dulles is so close. The sheer number of government, military and security interests in the immediate area around DCA needs to be re-evaluated. We no longer rely on horse and carriage to move between buildings, so it might be a good time to scatter some of the more critical HQs across the country and use our advanced technology to communicate in real time. We also have the technology to solve, or at least mitigate against, the ground traffic congestion around DC. We just need the will to do it.

  9. One reason it took so long to build is also that it is funded exclusively by donations, and lately by tourists. So a lot of the time, the issue was simply that there was no money to continue. Now it has so many tourists paying to see it, it is advancing pretty fast.

  10. Barcelona local here. By the time those residential blocks were built nobody was expecting the basilica to be ever finished, at least in the lifespan of potential buyers. People who bought houses there have always been fully aware of the situation, only that 40 years ago it seemed such a far away in the future problem that they just did not care.

  12. I saw the title and thought, "Duh." Then you knocked it out of the park. Awesome work. Thank you for what you do!

  13. Your presentations are truly superb! Just enough science and engineering to fully inform us and not so much that you lose us along the way. Thank you.

  14. One of the best videos covering the F-150. Well done.

  15. I was surprised to learn of all the other elements besides salt in ocean water. It makes sense to harvest those elements, especially thorium.
    456
  16. Is it just me that got really annoyed When he shower the vist for each element where he showed a pound being 2x as extensive as 1 kg meanwhile 1 kg is dubble as much as a pound

  17. Even if the main structure of the sub had been approved, certified, replaced every dive, tested etc There are a number of reasons I would never have got into that vessel. Poor communications, no location beacon, no emergency systems to counter being bolted in from the outside. The use of a games controller...seriously?!! It is one thing to challenge frontiers, it is quite another to take your safety and the safety of others so casually! I took more precautions camping on Dartmoor as a child!!

  18. Got my panels for 21 years now. They are well above 80% still. Had to replace 1 converter I reused from my very first solar installation 23 years ago. 300 € of maintenance in 21 years. I am going to double the capacity and add a Batterie next year. Never cleaned the panels. It’s so cool!

  19. I think this could work in Namibia. They have a unique geography where they get constant fog but no rainfall and a huge desert. Most coastal places with humidity get plenty of rainfall.

  20. In depth, clearly communicated info on a subject that can be pretty confusing. Having a 10 year experience to evaluate separates you from a lot of other reviews or opinions on solar. Well done. I liked and subscribed based off of this video.

  21. Thanks for coming out to visit. We hope the off grid cabins weren't too cold for you
    346
  22. You are supposed to keep the seat heaters on... It's a lot more efficient to heat your butt than the entire cabin...

  23. I've watched 5 different reviews on Tesla's Battery day and you def had the most detailed and concise breakdown.
    324
  24. I've been watching all the F-150 Lightning videos dropping right now, and this is the best one, hands down.

  25. Feel so bad for the victims and their families.

  26. This is a great video. Seeing how excited your son was to get in the back makes me realize that so many of us are thinking about this area all wrong. For children this 3rd row is like having a pillow fort. It is their own world. It will also serve for small adults (my mother in law is 5'2") for short hauls. Clearly it is more functional than we thought. Beautiful family!

  27. I own both of these cars, a 2017 Bolt and a 2018 Tesla M3. My wife drives the Bolt, I drive the M3. We both had EVs previously, a Leaf and a Spark. What changed principally from day to day is that we don't both rush for the charger every night. My wife likes the hatchback, the fact that the Bolt is slightly smaller, and she appreciates the fact she does not have to worry about range to get anywhere around the city. She rarely if ever charges away from home. I have a long commute, 44 miles round trip, charge about every 3 days, and use chargers away from home only when we take long trips. The biggest difference between the cars is charging away from home. We went from San Fransisco to Los Angeles in both cars. In the Bolt, we were restricted to highway 101, a longer route, because the shortest and most heavily traveled route has no CCS chargers. At all. According to plugshare, it still does not. Trying to charge down the 101 is somewhat hit or miss. There "appear" to be a lot of high power chargers for CCS, but most of them are actually 1/2 power chargepoint 25kW stations that take way longer to charge. On the way down we made it with one charge, but we left fully charged, stopped for 2 hours (!) at a 50kW charger, and barely had any charge when we made it to San Fernando Valley. On the way back we hit three chargers, made worse because the hotel we stayed at had no charger, so we had to hit one on the way out. Note: if you can find a hotel with a charge spot, even only an L2, this is a huge help, since you leave the hotel fully charged. With Tesla we left fully charged, hit the Harris ranch charger even though we could have gone farther, and charged twice in LA before returning on the I5. Another charge at Harris ranch got us home. There really is no comparison between cars when it comes to on the road charging. With CCS charging you are luck if there are two 50kW charging spots, and the chances are good one of them is out of order. When you get there you fiddle with a card, and even having a card does not always help. My EVgo card works only %50 or less of the time, and they have sent me several replacement cards. Thus I waste 10 minutes at each charge calling them and setting up a charge on the account. With Tesla, we go to chargers and there are 10 spots, with some up to 20 (!) spots. You plug the car in and go. The billing is completely automatic, and the prices are reasonable. There is an odd thing going on with the A/B system, if you plug in to A, and another car is on B, or vice versa, you both get slowed down, so you pick an A-B pair that is unoccupied. Coming into a charge station at about 50 miles left (my personal minimum), you get to see the car charge at over 100kW/h for about 2 minutes to reach over 200 miles left, then less after that. Its truly a breathtaking sight to see a car charge that fast, and apparently this is unique to the model 3, which has improvements in charging speed even over the Model S. In short, we are happy with both cars, but the Bolt is clearly a local, city car, and the M3 is for long trips.

  28. This basically what your home A/C or dehumidifier does . I connected a bucket to my condensate drain (my dehumidifier has its own built in container) and pour the water into a 45 gallon trash can. When it gets full , I have a small pump and water my grass with it. There YouTube videos out there with other's doing this. That is what I do with the water but you may have other uses.

  31. Exported oil still enters the market and affects the supply and thus the price world wide. Same reason Russian exports affect price in America even if we don’t buy Russian oil.

  32. This is actually one of the best solar videos I’ve ever seen, good job!

  33. This is the first comprehensive and actually good review of the 3 row Model Y. Thanks!

  34. Knowing how much power A.I. consumes makes you truly appreciate how efficiently the human brain operates.

  35. I worked in desalination for 25 years and the one thing I can say for certain is, it's very expensive and only energy rich countries can afford it. Moving water around is probably the best and only long term answer, but I think pumping large amounts of water large distances has it's own problems/costs. Pressure drops along small pipes is a problem but I doubt the problems are insurmountable if we had the will to do it. There is probably enough waste plastic in the world for the pipes if we could recycle it.

  36. Question: how many people can fit in back of a Model Y? Answer: Juan
    237
  37. Imagine a plastic battery the size of a standard heat exchanger for an AC unit sitting right next to it. No one would even notice it after a few weeks and you'd have enough power for your whole house in the case of an outage. I hope this tech comes to fruition.

  38. Great video, I wish I could give you two thumbs up! You covered new angles and interesting info that I haven’t really heard anyone else dive into. Really enjoyed it. 👍

  39. Just to add some context as I'm a shareholder in GMG, their batteries are 100% recyclable and hold the same energy density as LFP batteries, in fact once you deduct the weight of the thermal management system and the energy it uses for NMC batteries, it's almost a wash. The theoretical power density is also twice that of Li-ion and they are much less toxic and not nearly as prone to overheating as Li-ion. Love hearing coverage on these guys, great info!

  40. you would run tests until failure and ensure that you had at least 1.4-2x factor of safety at the pressure the vessel is designed for. Regulations are too time consuming? Curious if they would now argue for a do over.

  41. What I love about all these new spacecraft is that they all look like the spacecraft from 1930s comics like Buck Rogers.

  43. I really appreciate your view and thoroughness on this. I have friends that follow the chem trail theory and it was refreshing to get such a well done view. I agree as well in the theory of unintended consequences. Would really love to see people focus more on treating our planet right than trying to have the illusion of control.

  44. The pandemic is going to speed up a lot of trends that's for sure, and the collapse of Big Oil is one of them.

  45. MY Model 3 runs 100% from solar energy. Found that the best charging time is at 11:00 in my latitude. That way I have enough solar energy to also charge the house batteries and run house + car 100% from the sun. My USAGE carbon footprint for house and car is 0.

  49. Gasoline cars use almost as much electricity just to refine the gasoline as EVs use to drive the car. The electricity consumed to refine gasoline for a 25 MPG car is 70% the amount a Model 3 consumes to drive per mile. (It takes about 4.5 kWh of electricity to refine 1 gallon of gasoline). When the refining of gasoline is taken into account the hybrid in West Virginia (50 MPG) generates about 150% more CO2 than a Model 3 in West Virginia. (Assuming the refining of gasoline for use in West Virginia uses the same electricity mix as the grid in West Virginia). And we still haven't accounted for transportation and mining CO2 cost.

  50. The more i look at it the more i like it. "Not for everyone" is an understatement, but the price, performance, utility and features are a compelling package for site workers in all construction fields. I suspect it will develope a hard core of fans in that market who, like early Tesla car adopters, will sell their friends on the product. The styling and features will become the new normal, and on the road, as you said, it will turn heads like nothing else, and that is what some people want. Round some edges a bit maybe and influencers will do their thing. I have a construction background and many younger tradespeople i know would love to roll up to the job in one of those, just to mess with the boss and show off the features to their peers. This is like the original Roadster, a technology demonstrator and market awareness ploy. I suspect future iterations will reflect consumer input to some extent, but that the market will come to accept and embrace this new design language. Millions of future buyers are in their teens today, and old dudes like me are literally a dying segment of consumers. Society, ultimately, changes one funeral at a time, but tastes can change on a dime. We shall see.
