Between the cost of solar panels dropping, the cost of LFP batteries
dropping so fast, IF you have good sunlight, the reasons for dinofuel
are going out the window

gets sorted out, there will be no good reason to use dino-fuel.

Sure, but efficiency isn't everything. Fortunately, EVs are also
better at torque than diesel and gasoline.
Where they don't shine is range when actually working.

It's approximately 33 KWH of electricity is equivalent to 1 gallon of
gasoline (probably less for diesel), so EVs with 60-80 KWH batteries
are running a couple hundred miles (or more) on the rough equivalent
of < 3 gallons of gas.

Kinda ironic...

It's called "rolling coal", and it is all the rage for people who
think EVs are the devil's spawn.

In the past year I've observed that agressive driving seems
to be the norm now. More assholes, especially pickups using
farm diesel (black-foul-smelling-smoke). I been thinking of
investing in a stash of bumper stickers to stick on their
trucks that says "shoot me please".

Its possible that with the lower threshold more folks
were able to be arrested before they couldgo fora croaker

Its more probable though that ride sharing grew during
that period and the generation of party drinkers used it
more as a matter of trend.
Drinking establishments being closed or otherwise
inaccessible due to the rona too probably playeda huge
role, like the seeming disappearance of flu.

During Covid, in Utah, there have been the highest
rate of deaths ever recorded due to car crashes.
Meanwhile, at approximately the same time another
experiment was running.
Late 2018 Utah lowered the blood alcohol level for
driving from .08 to .05%.
Many, including myself, figured that there would not
be a significant difference.
But I also commented at the time that this one will
be easy to prove or disprove.
Deaths and crashes linked to drunken driving dropped
by 19.8% since the law took effect. I think one
could say that is statistically significant. Glad I
was wrong.
