The push for all electric stuff seems to change course every 4 or every 8 years if you catch my drift.

We’re draining all the reservoirs right now to meet power demands, how tf do they expect to keep up when the waters gone.

 

You're right. Micro reactors will boil steam in each car and we'll all have subscriptions to thorium packets.

All-Electric is a passing fad, just like all-solar.

 

Not saying this isn't a problem, but federal hydropower is only a small chunk of the West's reserves.

Why are they draining everything

 

Cthulhu is thirsty

 

I don’t even wanna google that

 

Cthulhu googles you

 

Because people use water?
One of hydropower's features is it doesn't ramp well - so it's used for base load serving and is pretty static year-round. Which means that if the dams are draining, it's not more power being used, it's that they're not being refilled, and/or they've opened the bypasses wider because the need for water is greater.

Texas is very limited to where we can legally operate stuff like that. Don’t even know where I’d use it without getting heavily fined.

I like the idea of cars being useful tools. Like my flatbed going from a pos ranch truck bound for scrap to my daily driver. I see how it checks the tinkering box though.

 

I would've thought TX as being one of the last places to have restrictions like that

 

I can’t operate them on the road and almost no land is public here. The local OHV area is slowly being sold to private hands to build RV parks and camp grounds. And the Jeep club made it unsafe to operate small vehicles out there a long time ago.

We didn’t have any public land where I grew up down on the border so I won’t complain too much.

Oh I was thinking more in your own backyard/property sort of thing, but yeah the lack of public lands makes sense being TX and all

 

Look up LSV licensing laws, you'd be surprised how easily a go karts can be made legal to drive on the street
