Tesla imrpoved on the AC voltage to the point of mass consumption. Probably the number one thing which allows us to use electricity the way we do. Direct current has issues with massive voltage drops over long runs. Why DC is inly used for small areas and vehicles. He was also experimenting...

Gotta love the black and white mentality. Who said anything to going back to middle ages like Amish? Read my post again. Reduce! Not abandon. I also love my porcelain throne, no way would i advocate going back to an outhouse. Todays household has a 40" + TV in every room, the whole house has...

No, i'm equating potential to potential. You wont get 7.5kw of electricity out of that battery bank. Guarantee it. Ohms law guarantees it. Besides, where did that electricity come from? Power plant? Ooops there goes that theory as again, we're burning inefficient fossil fuels to turn to steam...

No i didnt. I said POTENTIAL energy. I realize internal combustion engines are extremely inefficient. Electricity has inefficiencies as well. AC to DC back to AC. EaSy 30% loss.

Dont hold your breath. 13K Flat screens were astronomical mark up so they appeal to the uber rich who can say they have them and you dont. Large scale manufacturing and competition dropped the price. Both solar cells, mono and poly have been around since the 1980's. There's not going to be a...

I hear it all the time. People who have no clue what a kilowatt or amp hour or AC or how much power their appliance/toy takes talk about renewable energy and just throwing up a wind mill or a solar panel and call it a day. I researched it, i crunched the numbers. Its insanely expensive compared...

I think you guys are starting to get spoiled. whats funny is rewatching the "great" movies of 70s and 80s and realize just how little storyline there is, or character development. i agree about character development but its Avengers. Not "how did Hulk get here" its meant as an action packed...

Big balls? Big balls would meant he was brave enough to actually turn into the damn corner instead of bitching out the second the asphalt started to curve. No....we live in a world where shame and modesty doesnt exist. Its all about "look at me, look at the idiot i am"

Saw Age of Ultron yesterday. Not a bad flick. I like how you have the sense that its a much bigger universe unfolding with each movie. I liked the action although the ending action sequence was a bit too long.

Tesla cars are a fad, not their version of the battery bank. Until the price point of an electric car comes down to the point that every day masses can afford it, and the battery technology progresses past the limitations we've been bumping up against for the last decade, nothing will change...

Because its a passing fad. Just like all the celebs were driving the Prius a few years ago, so too will the Tesla trend pass. Back then you couldnt get your hand on Prius either. Whats worse is that the latte sipping lemings dont see the hypocrisy of driving the Tesla while living in 5000...

Sorry dude, i dont see the big deal. Its just a battery bank. Those have been on the market in one form or another for a long time. In fact in the new house i'm planning on having a battery bank fed by solar panels that will feed inverters. Automated switching station will use the battery bank...

Excellent analogy. So you become an "expert" driver, according to the app monitored by the insurance company. App that specifies that you have to accelerate very slowly...great. Now everyone accelerates at snails pace to make sure they get the best rebate. Oh gridlock becomes worse? Huh, thats...

Can you explain to us how it made you a better driver? Specifics please. Wanna know what made me a better driver? Getting a motorcycle and riding it. By far that was the number one thing that improved my overall driving. Situational awareness, reading traffic patterns, recognizing first signs...

Lol, youre kidding right? THEY screw you cuz of the way they determine your premium, and then you're actually happy to put a device on your car that will let you get some of the savings back? Anyone else find that just sad? empirical data such as that simply doesbt work. Otherwise Markham...

Cept that every one of your examples occurred in Liberal run **** holes. Nice try.

Lol, look at the traffic behind him. Everybody roller right through the stop sign.

My moms a high school teacher maxed out at 96k. Its hard for me to feel sorry for her when shes bitching about how much pension is being taken out. The fak? Its your money youre gonna get when you retire. Also when she was bitchi g that her bankable sick days are being taken away and how she...

Whats up with the site sponsor add on the side of the video? Both my iPad and iPhone cut the youtube video in half cuz of it.

Using the website Shane posted you can see the craziness that is GTA. 100k over asking price is not only not unheard of but happens regularly. Heh, yea i am a cat person but also like dogs and they love me. We already found and bought the new house. 2 acres, 1300sf bungalow with finished...
