https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/05/economy/unemployment-rate-us-explained/index.html "May was the best month for job growth since 1939". So it looks like crashing the economy isn't going to work. Pretty sad when you can't even get that right. Just think of all that job creation when it's time to...

Gasoline, diesel, electric vehicles all have a few things in common, tires and driving on the road. Neither tires or road work are going away anytime soon. What if they can help each other. How to not just recycle, but reuse steel belted radials. Usually they get down cycled into pavement. The...

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/12/climate/texas-methane-super-emitters.html This article is the equivalent of going around to grave yards with a flir and saying any hot or cold spots you can find are proof of ghosts. Obvious problem. They assume anything hot or cold is a methane...

Other countries like Russia and saudi hate this. http://www.forbes.com/sites/arielcohen/2019/11/26/making-history-us-exports-more-petroleum-than-it-imports-in-september-and-october/amp/ If there are around 1 million electric cars on the road and let's say if they were gas burners they would be...

The government has decided that the less than 1,500 electric vehicles registered in the state (as of 2018) aren't paying for their fair share of road wear and tear. That's BS because I guarantee that there are at least thousands of unregistered or expired registration gas burners in the state...

New Mexico plans to use oil and natural gas royalties to pay for free instate college tuition for 55,000 people per year for 4 year degrees. I hope it passes. Then magically all the talk of fracking bans and the more insane parts of the new green deal never get mentioned again by NM dems.

Their words not mine. https://www.insideevs.com/news/369114/anderson-cooper-slams-evs-climate-debate/ "How do you manage to get people to relinquish, you know, the car they love, for an electric car that may be slower, or less powerful initially, and more expensive" I assume insideEVs is a...

Turns out traditional franchise dealers really don't like the tesla direct sales business model. For 2018 I don't think tesla even made the lost of top 25 auto manufacturers but the big guys seem to be trying pretty hard to shut it down. All the traditional dealer does is add around $2,000 to...

https://www.autotrader.ca/newsfeatures/20190214/petro-canada-launching-coast-to-coast-charging-network/ Which is funny because I remember someone on mnl earlier this year going on about how gas stations would be a stupid place to put charging stations.

As I read a lot of mining news and mining industry stuff this is no surprise to me. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-21/new-study-shocks-electric-cars-considerably-worse-climate-diesel-cars I bought an electric car to save money and it excels at that.

The first array will be 11 or 12 panels, just depends on how degraded they are. I ordered 7.3kw of used poly panels shipped to my work for $1,875, all 25 panels survived me forklifting them off the truck, loading them on my leafs trailer and driving down bumpy country roads. When freight...

The governor signed it into law. It mandates 80% renewable power by 2030. And 100% by 2040. But as far as I know there is no actual plan to achieve this. Just boundless optimism and other people's money. It doesn't effect me that much but supposedly as many as 1 in 4 house holds in NM was behind...

I finally taliked the wife into buying a lease turn in 2016 hyundai sonata plug in hybrid. I provided an unnecessary $4,000 down payment because I want to see a it paid off in about a year and a half. She signed up for a 40 month payment plan. I hate the idea of monthlycar payments. First...

I have a 16 inch bore 120 foot deep well with 12 feet of water in it. It is capable of pumping 100gpm continously, no problem. It's about 300 feet from the house. The water coop has raised their surcharge from $45 a month to $55 and we constantly have water outages from crumbling improperly...

One of my hobbies that kind of became an obsession is buying junk from the scrap yard and dumping it at the local agg auction. The first time I went to the local agg auction last year to check it out the first thing I noticed is people will buy anything about the same time I realized these...

I installed mine. Did it a little different. I took out the removable cargo area floor so that it would sit about an inch to an inch and half lower. I took the evse bag hook off the floor and drilled through the cargo holder, reinstalled the hook inside the cargo holder with some spacers under...

Anyone have them? I'm thinking about getting some but at $200 they are a bit spendy.

The state of new Mexico has a 2 billion dollar state surplus after 8 years of booming oil and gas industry. Now a bunch of democrats got voted in and they waste no time in passing new taxes. Instant state wide buyers remorse. A lot of them will be gone next election cycle because of this. One...

Winter on the 2011 and 2012 kills range, using the heater kills it even more. I'm luck that I have at 2014 battery with all 12 bars so I'm not suffering too bad. I had seen these before on the diesel truck forums but didn't know if they had been used on the nissan leaf. Then I found this...
