the most depressing thing was learning that the dozens of acres of solar farms built near me over the last few years is for planned data centers not to bolster up our local grid
oh well when the collapse comes at least i can just use the last of my gasoline to go cut down and drag one of those big municipal panels back to my house
Meanwhile, people are campaigning heavily against solar farms and energy storage being built near me, despite the fact that I live in California which is one of the best places in the world to do solar farms and energy storage.
Their reasoning? "It's not agriculture!" As if it isn't also beneficial to reduce our fucking water usage
one of my local solar farms had to stop expanding because locals were taking potshots at them from the woods.
they couldn't figure out who or prove it wasn't just "accidental gunfire from hunters" but they just gave up because the risk was too great
this area is mostly just forestry on old lands used for mining in the early 1900s like wtf "rural character" were these terrorists protecting. similar mindset to your Cali chuds
MFW westerners are such insecure chuunibyou that in order to even sell them on more sustainable products, you need to design the "sustainable" products to pollute so much it defeats the purpose of making them sustainable just so they can be "cool" enough.
Someone get me out of this "I-need-everything-to-be-badass" hell
That was exactly the appeal of Te$las to begin with according to bazingas I asked offline and in person: they didn't want a "lame" or "embarrassing" EV or even hybrid, so they had to wait for a, quote, "sexy" one.
The fucking thing expends at least as much energy and consequently as much carbon as a Ford F-150

Won't someone think of those 6 poor alfalfa and pistachio farmers who use 85% of California's water supply at no cost on a cash crop?
Almonds too
It's wild that the drinking water of millions of people takes second fiddle to some billionaire nut farmers

Teslas are hideous though.
They are an uncool person's idea of cool.
Depends on the model
Apart from the coupe and the cyber they all appear very similar. The model y is particularly bleh
The model s and model 3 look fine. Everything else doesn't look great
The model y I find genuinely awful. I'm not even sure what the swelling point is. It's a slightly bigger Tesla but but as big as the x
it weighs nearly SEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS!
