20% efficiency gains are not the same thing as no difference. If you think a 20% change is not noticeable, I would invite you to walk into a room that's 100% nitrogen.
To further extrapolate out though, that means that if the electric cars on average, are 20% more efficient that you can run five ice cars or six electric cars for the same cost of carbon.
In other words, for the same amount of global warming problems, we can run 5 billion ice cars or 6 billion electric vehicles. Neither option is great for the planet, but one option enables a billion more people to have a car while impacting all of us the same amount.
And since I don't think we're figuring out transporters anytime soon and our entire society is built upon cars...
This also discounts that if all of these electric cars were powered with more sustainable technologies like renewables and nuclear instead of fossil fuel peaker plants, they would be even more efficient somewhere between 30 and 40%. More than an ice car.
Have you considered you may be in an echo chamber? Most Americans can barely operate on a 6th grade reading comprehension level. Source years of customer facing work as an American
They might be obsessed with them but they make really shitty ones that are factually inaccurate most of the time.
But just because somebody enjoys history is not a warning sign or red flag. You have to study history to learn political trends and how the world operates.
Everybody would die. Inertia would continue moving all the buildings, trees, animals and people at several thousand miles an hour even though the Earth is no longer rotating.
I ditched read it when they broke the API haven't been back since. I spend the same amount of time that I used to spend on Reddit on here maybe less as there is less content.
Plenary authority is another way to say unilateral power in one area. The area being discussed is military deployment and control. So not quite dictatorship but everything short of it. This is significant because Mr. Miller is arguing that Mr. Trump has the authority to ignore the court that is ordering Mr. Trump 's. Deployments of US military forces unconstitutional and illegal.
Definition: The term "plenary" means full, complete, or absolute. In a legal sense, it refers to a power granted to a governing body or person that is absolute and without limitations within a specific, well-defined domain..
Well your already on Lemmy so why do you go back to reddit? If you can answer that question then you have your answer. I much prefer it here where where you can actually interact with people instead of ai and NPCs
Not astounded at all that you completely missed the point.
Maybe I can spell it out a little bit clearer. I'm saying that Christianity and Islam have been in a power struggle for over 1400 years. It is ridiculous to say that Western Civilization was forged in these events and to not also realize that Middle Eastern civilization was forged by the same events that impacted both civilizations.
I'm excusing neither I'm holding both accountable. Both committed atrocities upon the other in the name of their flavor of God.
Be careful with statements like that because one could just as easily reverse them. Especially when Islam is six centuries younger than Christianity. I would like you to consider for a fact that The holy Land has been conquered many times by many different people because it is important to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
al-Futūḥāt al-ʾIslāmiyya (the Islamic conquests). Is what kicked off that whole back and forth power struggle.

I wonder if the author just can't do math or they're actually this disingenuous
