I would out law all ev's and all gas only cars.
I would force everyone to have hybrid
compromise the best of both worlds.
Force?
Jesus phil, I thought you were a leftie, I didn’t expect you to be in line with Trump politics 101.
Notice how the orange lines spike?
#spike.some.more
Another day with friggin poker room closed, not heading home to 3 more feet snow and car I need to get towed out of here.
About that.
Around a month ago, in the previous snow storm that hit the US, the hashrate took a massive plunge.
phil was ecstatic - from a miners perspective - and I was reading all sorts of news about how beneficial Bitcoin mining operations can be to the grid.
Which brings me to my question - WTF?
No hashrate drop this time, which means that either there is no weather-miner correlation, or something has changed?
Yeah, right, you of all people. Hahahahahaha.
This narrative is sort of stress free but brutal, risk free more-so, but you guys really don’t want the plebs multiplying their coinz do you?
Selling some - even now - would probably do better than just watching the third leg down unfold during the summer - helpless to buy the final dip and bottom.

I would force a lot of shit on a lot of people.
But 90% of USA drivers should be using a hybrid.
While I like my friends tesla it takes 10 minutes to charge 100 miles.
It simply is not practical for evs even if in order to own an ev you must have a garage with a charger. You do not have enough space to charge cars when you take longer drives.
Can you imagine a charge station with 5 chargers and 25 cars looking to charge.
The most amount of evs the country can handle today is under 20% it simply isn't practical to try 30 40 50% ev
On the other hand my Hyundai can do 100 miles an hour if I want to be stupid.
It can easily cruise in the 80s that is 135 kilometers for the rest of the world.
I recognize that some towing power is needed in larger pickup trucks.
I also know commercial trucks need more horsepower.
But 65 to 75% of cars driving in the usa could easily be hybrid.
Maybe more.
If we really are running out of gas/oil
Having a car that does 50mpg vs 25mpg( edit miles per gallon) in traffic makes the supply last longer.
By forcing I would simply make penalties for all gas cars and incentives for hybrids.
I could give two shits about the pollution that hybrids save vs evs
But I drove gas cars since 1977
I DROVE TRUCKS with diesel in the millatary.
And I now drive a hybrid most people
are fucking idiots about driving
Either evs or gas eating tanks
Fuck all of them.
Well realistically fuck most of them.
As they represent what's wrong with the world in general.
A lack of practical compromise.
Rant over.
