I do about 14 miles per day on my EV. Pretty sure my solar on both ends more than make up for it.

There is a lot of bad faith arguments made on both sides. One of the big bad faith claims is some pile of math based on how much electrical demand there would be if everyone was fully regarding every day. Of the people that I know (not a small list), the only ones that drive over 200 miles per day are UPS drivers. A few are in the 50 - 75 area. Most are under 25. Yes, the California and Texas grids need help. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jeff Broadwick - Lists" <[email protected]> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 14, 2022 11:20:59 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Numbers There is the minor matter of our current electrical grid not being able to handle the load we have now, in some places.

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.

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. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
