I know that was supposed to prompt me to panic and go buy an electric vehicle or something, but as overwrought headlines often do, it prompted me, instead, to ponder: If Tuesday was the hottest day…what day held the record previously? Was it the day before? A year or two ago? Have we, with all our gross carbon footprint-y human-ing, been steadily building to this searing, ice cap melting crescendo? So…I looked into it, and here’s what I discovered: First, the next hottest day was, in fact, the day before — which stands to reason if we’re in the middle of a heat wave. The next hottest day before that? August 2016. The experts attribute the soaring temps to “a dangerous combination of climate change,” the return of El Niño, and the start of Summer. Second, the modeling system they use to measure the global average temperature has only been in use since 1979. And while instrument-based records date back to the mid-19th Century, scientists depend on data from tree rings and ice cores to provide “proxy data” for temps prior. That proxy data tells them: “It hasn’t been this warm since…125,000 years ago.” https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2023/07/07/moore-to-the-point-hottest-day-ever-n772471

Precision Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Wind turbine troubles have sent one stock tumbling. There are fears it could be a much wider issue..... "In turbines built in 2023, more than 40% of gearboxes will need to be replaced after 20 years of project life, according to ONYX, along with over 20% of main bearings and more than 5% of blades." Stock dropped 37% in June, I wonder how many ESG clowns have Siemens Energy in their portfolio?
B-Man Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Steve Milloy Exposes Climate Fearmongering About Hot Weather. After 50+ years of failed eco-apocalypse predictions, it’s no surprise to find that climate alarmists are cherry-picking or manipulating some data and ignoring inconvenient evidence to prop up their climate narrative. Media and politicians are ignoring the areas of America that are cooler than previous summers — but they’re also ignoring data upending their claims of record heat. Data shows that the world has not in fact experienced global warming for the last eight years. Also, a recent study found that CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are too low to cause global warming. Not only that but no fewer than 36 climate models were also recently found to have overestimated warming in the U.S. corn belt. These are the stories you won’t hear from climate alarmist media. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/catherinesalgado/2023/07/25/a-hoax-steve-milloy-exposes-climate-fearmongering-about-hot-weather-n1713475

Shocking! I used to have one of those gauges in an ICE car. It would tell me my range was 430 miles, then drop like a rock whe. It hit 150. Bad engineering, not fraud in that case.

I have a Tesla (S100D) and drove from near Hartford CT to Pittsford last weekend. My car is almost 6 years old so my full battery capacity is around 315 miles (doqn from 360 originally). I was able to make the 333 mile drive with 1 stop each time to charge for about an hour (where we ate, went to the bathroom, etc.). The range estimate doesn't and can't take into account weather, terrain, speed of the driver (the faster you go above 65 MPH the lower the range). And like with any ICE car, you need to monitor your range and charge before it gets too low.

And like with any ICE car, you need to monitor your range and charge before it gets too low. Hope you are enjoying your vehicle. I drove an "S" couple of years ago and really enjoyed how quiet the vehicle was. It was more than we wanted to spend and being in NH I was worried about the range during our cold winter months. My thoughts regarding range are that the car should take into account the weather (temperature) the second it is turned on and adjust the estimated range accordingly. Performing this would be trivial, range loss in extremely hot or cold conditions is on the order of 20% which is significant. Most current vehicles provide real time feedback on the driver's mileage based on speed and driving style (my 2019 A6 vehicle does this). Drove from NH to WNY in June, when I started the trip, I thought I would need to stop for gas. The vehicle stated my mileage was 26 MPG (415 miles of range) when I left NH, it adjusted up to 33 MPG (525 miles of range) by the time I had hit Springfield MA as the driving was all highway and traffic was light. Having said all of the above, to me there are 2 issues from the article. First was that when owners called Tesla regarding range concerns, they were lied to regarding remote diagnostics being performed on their vehicle. The second was that Telsa should have informed customers that range is only adjusted once the batteries reach 50% of their charge. In some areas of the US depending on the loss in range customers might have difficulties reaching a charging station. "When customers noticed their range wasn’t matching the dashboard estimates and called the company to make service appointments, Tesla employees would follow directives to tell customers they'd performed “remote diagnostics” and cancel the appointment, the report said. The company reportedly went as far as to create an entire Las Vegas-based “diversion team” devoted to quieting customer complaints about the inaccurate range, a group that was told by managers it saved Tesla $1,000 for every appointment it canceled."
