I got a good nights sleep last night and this morning I feel really good I got my friend to the doctors.......even if it did take 20 hours to drive him there.
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy spend Christmas Eve with Abe Cambridge of TheSunExchange.com as they deliver the opposite of coal in your stocking. They discuss the solarpunk ethos of a decentralized, peer to peer, anti-fragile energy grid. Cambridge catalogues the renewable energy breakthroughs from 2020 and forecasts more for 2021. Solar planes and blimps, UV sequestration and solar energy pipelines are just some of the latest advances they cover.

I enjoyed it, it also fits in with my agorist and permaculture views.In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy spend Christmas Eve with Abe Cambridge of TheSunExchange.com as they deliver the opposite of coal in your stocking.

The long-term vision is a vehicle that can function significantly faster than a bicycle purely under human power, but when powered, be used as a one-seater race car. It will weigh under 100 lbs, accelerate like a fast car, maintain highway speeds with mechanical reliability while getting the electric equivalent of thousands of miles per gallon, and be capable of reaching triple digit speeds for brief periods.

I don't think my Leaf can achieve triple digit speeds, and it's efficiency is only about 3.5 to 4 miles per kWh. But that efficiency can also be achieved with 2-3-4 people on board, so my per capita efficiency would be correspondingly higher.
The_Toecutter wrote:So 45 miles per kWh per person in theory, at 60 mph.
It would be an order of magnitude more efficient per person per mile than your Nissan Leaf when commuting with one person, but even with 4 people in the Leaf, it would still be more efficient than your Leaf by a factor of 3.
