EV Enthusiasts are Getting it Wrong

[JRP3]

Hype? Info direct from the experimental lab, by the experimenters? Within hours of getting the latest results?

Dude, you've got issues. Maybe medication would help.

No, independent third party verification is the only thing that would help. I'd say it's pretty obvious who has the issues here.

@kgb;

perhaps we are a bit older. fusion has been "on the cusp" for some time now. it is hard to fault someone for being skeptical. I'm sure we share your enthusiasm and optimism. we want it to be true, and if and when it is, that is when we will express our excitement. for now, we have been disappointed too many times in the past, so we are not going to put ourselves out there and allow ourselves to be let down again.

Fear of disappointment is that powerful for you? My sympathies.

64 (same age as Lerner). How much older ARE you?
@JRP3;

ORly? And you require the same of NiF and ITER, etc., of course.

This is stuff that's never been done before at this level, as evidenced by the inadequacy of the supposedly off-the-shelf switch tech they've had to painstakingly upgrade and re-invent over the summer.

And they're being FAR more open with data and tech than anyone else in the entire field.

How much older ARE you?

Apparently not older... just more mature. Never mind. Keep me out of your petty bickering. I thought a discussion was going on.

Of course. I don't take statements from the people involved as the final word, ever. Independent verification is a must, that's how science works. Maybe they'll come up with something, but close isn't good enough, especially in this field.

Why Switching to Electric Vehicles Improves National Security, the Environment, and Our Economy | Guest Commentary | SoCal Focus | KCET

If you're like me and want to breathe cleaner air, support our service members and national security, and improve our economy, consider making the switch to an electric car. Besides being patriotic, getting thumbs up at red lights all over town and saving a ton of money by driving past the pump feels pretty good.
