Arguably, hammers also have a massive impact on the environment. They are also part of everyday life. Building you live in? Built using a hammer. New sidewalk? Old one came out with an automatic hammer. Car? Bet there was a type of hammer used during assembly. You can't escape the hammer. Stop running. Accept your inner hammer. Embrace the hammer, become the hammer. Hammer on.
No, it's not and you probably intuitively know this already, but an uncharged battery burns almost exactly the same as a charged one.
Here is a other way to think about it. Let's trade "gallons of gas" for "bowling ball at the top of the slide" both object represent an amount of stored potential energy.
Let's arbitrarily say that you gallon of gas is equivalent to a bowling ball sitting on top of a 1ft tall slide. The gas tank is the equivalent of a ball sitting on top of an 18ft tall slide, and the battery is roughly a 3ft tall slide. If someone asked you which slide had more potential energy, you might say "the gas one", but what we have missed is that the gas slide was built at sea level, and the battery slide is sitting on top of a mountain. Normally, that whole mountain's height isn't considered in the potential energy of the ball on the slide, but the battery fire is a catastrophic event where the ball flies off the end of the slide and falls down the side of the mountain.
Basically, the battery has a ton of potential chemical energy in it, which is used to store a little bit of electrical potential.
Celebrated by organizing against people in government who are too fucking old to be driving a car, let alone running the country?
It will also be effectively legal to shit on gravesites that day. Not because of any change in the law, but because it would take too much work to enforce on dementia day.
No it's more like "Why make an argument against the charges when the charges have no standing at all." The case is dismissable, why would you waste your time and money fighting it in court?
The results speak for themselves. Not only are the continuing to be bombed, the guy bombing them is trying to work out a real estate deal with trump to develop the land afterward.
Oooh... Look at that. Still didn't meet the bare minimum to discuss further.
I'm gonna make a prediction, you aren't going to to go look up the results of the 2016 primary and post them here, on your next post. If you don't, then it's a pretty blatant admission that you have no interest in actually discussing efficacy of shifting party position by using the primary process, and instead you'd rather throw out ad-hominem attacks and bitch about the results of a primary that, statistically speaking, you probably didn't even bother to vote in.
The argument before the court was that legally the DNC could select their own candidate, not that it did. So it woudn't matter if the allegations were true or not.
The other side argued that since the case went to court, the facts of the case must be "true enough to be heard." Which is a pretty low standard to clear TBH.
"Well we argued it in court, so it must be true enough to be heard."
The standard governing the motion to dismiss requires the Court to accept all well-pled allegations as true for purposes of deciding the motion. Thus, the Court recited the allegations of the Complaint that it was required to accept as true, and in so doing, acknowledged that the allegations were well pled.
Which may technically true, but does not mean that the DNC prevented Bernie from being their candidate.
Did the DNC select their own candidate? Or did they go with the candidate that their voters selected?
Because by the numbers, Bernie was short by a few million votes.
I'm sure that if he had won the primary, then the DNC would have backed him against the wishes of their establishment supporting members, doubly so in light of recent events regarding the NYC mayoral race.
I think the 3 things Tesla has/had going for them was...
Car sales growth. The had some pretty ridiculous growth in sales for a few years there.
Captive Market. Pretty much everyone I know with a Tesla charges at home, or at a Tesla supercharger. They've got the Apple ecosystem lock in for the "fuel" you put in the car. This walled garden approach basically lets Apple print money.
Technology. FSD, autopilot, and manufacturing. Tesla presented as a very tech focused company that was dumping money into R&D similar to how Amazon built up in the early 2000s. Investors love companies that are poised to control the entire market in the future.
Pretty much all 3 of these pillars have collapsed now. Their car sales are in a huge global slump. More cars are available that can charge on other charging networks, and those charging networks get bigger and better every day. Elon's FSD is basically vaporware at this point, and the high degree of automation Tesla was touting in their factories came back to bite them in the ass.
This leads to my favorite recent quote about stocks though... "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." Let's face it, Tesla stock is a bubble, AI is a huge bubble. The problem isn't knowing that there is a bubble, the problem is knowing when that bubble is going to burst.
