I heard lots of people on the woke left refused to chant, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" last Christmas because they were afraid Kamala Harris might think they were calling her bad names.

Glad she cleared that up.
Looks familiar?

She's really comic relief.

Imagine, Kamala said. Imagine us living in fantasy land. Imagine a solar powered 747.
The Democrats are trying to destroy civilization. That is the truth.

At some point, battery storage technology will be enough that may very well be able to power a 747.
Look at what's happened to computing in the past 40 years. Remember punching a stack of cards just so you could make a calendar in Fortran?

I remember the punch cards and Fortran. I think we used an IBM360? Put anyway, I remember the upgrade: Pascal on an HP1000.

Their stack was 3x ours, and if they had a cheap rubber band, snap...and their cards went flying. Nothing like having to put your stack back sequentially to make your f'n calendar. |

Just to prove the technology works. Doubt it happens in their kids' lifetime, but you've got to believe it's coming. What they don't get is how quantum change happens...incentive > cost. |

Those batteries are heavy. That will be a lot of passengers seats that will have to remain empty to compensate for the extra weight. Gee, I wonder who will make up the lost revenue.

When you think of how miniaturized memory chips have gotten, why not electric storage?
I've got a 5 terabyte hard drive that fits in the palm of my hand. Wouldn't that be the equivalent of a room full of cray computers in the 70's?

I watch these people in the administration talk about getting rid of gas. They are either out of touch or just don't care about people. I bet they would say they "care" blah blah blah. I think they majored in political science and are using their political leverage to gain power. Look at all of the alternative energy projects that were corrupted - Biden's brother and Obama's friends.
