You spelled that wrong.

Seems to be this:

Climate protesters have expressed concerns about Tesla’s plans, which entail cutting down approximately 250 acres of forest in a rural community of fewer than 8,000 residents near a nature conservation area.
Don't blame them then there are plenty of areas they can knock down other things. Need the trees

I awoke at 2:53am for my nightly piss break

watched the lights from my driveway for about 15 minutes or so

first time I've seen them

not real vibrant or bright here but worth the walk outside

much more impressive than a solar eclipse, I'm sure

Obviously, charging at home is a third of that price (here), so it works.  And some workplaces etc. offer free charging, for now.

But, for me, it's a nonstarter. 

My neighbor thought our chargers were free and was surprised when I told him otherwise.

I see relatively little about this on line, which is curious.  I think it's a MAJOR deal for many.
It also depends on the cost of electricity at your home.

Electric is very expensive in some places. Here we are mostly natural gas. I'd like to see about 6 nukes in Florida, and I know exactly where to put them.

However much electricity costs at your home, it will be about 3x that at an EV charging station, apparently.  Even at 2x, it's at best break even with gasoline.

I'd bet a lot of EV owners don't check the math or worry about it.

But maybe this is widely understood, I tend to doubt it.  I've posted this on FB and gotten some remarkably angry responses, none of which dealt with the math and the facts.

There are zero large nuclear power reactors even being proposed at the moment, and I doubt that changes.  SMRS are the best hope, and the first of them could still be five or more years out, probably more.

Mine are situated along rivers, so there could one design for the plant, adjusted for site development outside of the plant.

My plan would also include treatment - not to potable, but to eliminate and harvest nutrients and metals. TDS would be unchanged, mostly.

This is another project I like a lot. Lake O is a big problem, and this could fix it.
