Bjoern Lomborg does not disagreee. What matters is cheap energy. Solar is getting dramatically cheaper, but still not there. Since EVs are much more efficent than ICEs, it still actually makes sense to have them powered by traditional power stations currently.

Well... if you’re speaking USA you’ll notice our innovation tends to come mostly from a few concentrated areas wherebthe best talent migrates tinand then mixes in with a very healthy immigrant population in BOTH skilled and unskilled labor.
Silicon Valley is a geographicly tiny area that has a very unusually global population and a culture that encourages innovation. It tends to attract people who are thinkers, even among the blue-collar set.
- And it’s one of the biggest reasons California is the 5th largest economy in the world (another would be our agriculture, and the last would be the slowly fading but still economicly diverse star of LA).
that's usually the case. If you don't have the high IQ people in the first place (or attract them, which the USA are very good at), there is no innovation. Neither in clusters, nor elsewhere.
What i meant was that high IQ won't teach you that Belgium is a country and not a city. Facts.

I find it hard to imagine a world without owning a manual transmission. I don't care if it is gas, but I know that's the only way to use a clutch.
Outside of that, I love the M3 and find myself wanting to drive it (one pedal!) more than my STI.

The M3 is a manual! I have to manually place it in Drive, Reverse or Park. The car does not automatically (yet) change gears. Is that not what you meant?
OK, so I know it's not really a manual but I cringe every time I see Automatic (A1) as it is a 1-speed fixed gear and nothing automatic about it. I know it's semantics, but a pet peeve of mine.

That is just a design flaw of an IC engine as it typically can not go to 0 rpm. An electric motor can go to zero with no issue.

Nonsense, and has been for a decade or more
Just look at the costs of AGW and mitigation, let alone all the money poured into the military to secure access.
You have a thorough idea how all in all installation prices have been 10 years ago. Thanks for the information.
