  • EVs are cleaner than gas cars, but a growing share of Americans don't believe it

  • About 30% in Europe/US; half that in China.

    Electricity consumption drops sharply during the night - when wind power typically peaks. There are power companies that offer substantially cheaper rates at night for charging EVs for this very reason.

  • "Most BEVs are charged over night, where only Hydro or Geothermal makes power"

    Maybe in Iceland; anywhere with wind and nuclear power, this really is not the case.

  • The state of the rail system the most reliable measure of how civilized a country really is

    Jump

  • This just seems like hand-wringing for the pitiful state of the rail system in the USA. A country can have many dense population centres separated by large distances, making HSR viable and worthwhile, but still have low population density overall - just like the USA. The only real obstacle is political will/public support.

    Western China has around half the population density of the USA but is already served by a 1,900km HSR line.

  • The left-wing French coalition hoping to introduce 90% tax on rich

    Jump

  • They do. Someone with a salary of €400,000 would take home approximately €242,000 after income tax. 

     
            Up to €10,777: 0% tax rate
    From €10,778 to €27,478: 11% tax rate
    From €27,479 to €78,570: 30% tax rate
    From €78,571 to €168,994: 41% tax rate
    More than €168,994: 45% tax rate

    According to The EIU, the cost of living in Paris is similar to San Francisco.

  • For most of the year, Assam (loose leaf) with a splash of milk; when it's available, first flush Darjeeling.
