Are these evacuations truly necessary, or is this just more of the over-the-top reaction about the climate apocalypse coming from our government?

Because your need for food is driving the temperature of the planet up, carbon-unit.

I find you comparing yourself to an old building interesting! Was simply pointing out the bias in your own argument. You are pointing to the spec in one man's eye, while ignoring the log in your own eye, sort of thing. Surely any pro-religion, conservative understands that? As opposed to those who ridicule the religious. I would say they are not conservative. I wonder who that could be around here, hmm? Let me know, if further "evidence" needed.

Zeitgeist made some useful criticisms, which you and EB didn't pick up on. Choosing rather to go for the emotional content, and thus, one of your protege poo-poos whole thread. You leftist guys are like a tag-team, trying to obscure the useful criticism leveled at this government by invoking invisible boogeymen. Yet you are not off topic. You have answered the question posed by the OP, indirectly. The answer is clearly a resounding YES!!! And for next time!!!

Gangs and such don't really care much about small towns, in that there's no big money to be had there. It's in big cities where all the wealth is concentrated, as well as a large populace for the criminals to draw upon, whether that be doing robberies or selling drugs. Big cities are places where crime gets concentrated.

I say by the visceral reaction he is, very very likely.

I don't doubt you. In fact I predict by the time the election rolls around, Don Trump will face charges adding up to 1000 years in prison. If they don't execute him first, that is.

Yep. Any day now... Been hearing that one for years. But Trump just keeps on going, like the terminator. "Trump can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and he absolutely will not stop… EVER!" He also haunts their dreams.

Frak wants to put everyone in jail, even just for saying some things. Insulting a witness, bwahaha. Sad day for the new Amerikkka.

Oh dear. Was talking to Frik, now here's Frak. Sure fella. I say he won't. They will not go through with it. Just more screeching the alarm from the sky-is-falling chicken cluckers.

That's true but Trump will use lawyers to delay and obfuscate the legal process as much as possible. He may not be convicted by the time the election comes around. In other words annoying orange man still not go away. Try not to lose sleep over it.

I'll guess the answer is "no", but in a contest would they pick conservative? Of course not. That leaves option B, Canada's shadow Prime Minister. Ot if that seems offensive then how about second class PM? You all know who it is. The Jagged Meatheaded Singer.

No one has been found that actually admits to having voted for JT.

Even in prison, Trump might still win. That's why I predict they'll soon be calling for the death penalty, after they charge him with 1000 years in prison of course.

Arguably the one that is the foundation of our western thought and values. Things like human rights, tolerance and respect stem from fundamental christian tenets. They are our origins and it is those ideas that evolved into the liberty you enjoy today. As well as legal system, might I add. So, as my pappy used to say, when it comes to religion pick yer poison fella.

Laissez faire capitalism, I should point out. In other words, liberalism. You're getting warmer, doc.

I see. We need to down-scale our expectations is what you mean to say. Some people do need to drive trucks, Boges. Not everyone can use the mickey-mouse wind up toy you are driving.

I wouldn't bet on it. There's a lot of promises for pie in the sky in research. That's how they get more funding, part of the game. If you need a battery that yields 130 kWh, you still have to put that amount of energy back in during a recharge. Actually more than that, since it is never 100% efficient. But even so, the time it takes to deliver 130 kwh to the batt is limited by the amount of electrical power available at the charger. Assumin house voltage and amperage, lets go with 220v 50A. This is about 10 kW. Would take 13 hours. Note that's as much as having your house current at full load, every circuit running including stove and A/C, for 13 hours. And that's assuming 100% efficiency. It will take longer than this, and progressively longer as the battery ages. Same as cell phone tech, but on steroids. Yeah right Mr. Spock. Get the transporter started up. I'm placing my bets on cold fusion, myself.

And some industry pundits are saying it never will be. It's fine to play with your gadget toy as long as there aren't too many of these energy hogs at the trough all at once! oink oink!

We can see how leftist thought works here- "The earth is centered on me."

I'm for bringing back the horse. But hey, never mind the bollocks. Let's look at the numbers a bit more here. Article describes the charging problem. Ford F-150 Lightning Driver’s Terrible Charging Experience Monacelli talked about how slow home charging is. He appeared to have plugged in the F-150 Lightning at a regular 120V socket, which would take over two days for a full top-up. It’s not surprising, because Ford has mentioned in its charging installation guide that a regular home socket would charge at 3 miles per hour. A proper AC wall charger, like the 48 amp Ford Connected Charge Stationadds about 20 miles range per hour on the F-150 Lightning's Extended Range variant and 19 miles range per hour on the Standard Range. It would then take 16 hours to charge the former, at least on paper. The 19.2-kilowatt Ford Charge Station Pro is much faster, adding 30 miles range per hour. Sounds like this sucker spends way more time charging, than driving. Even the 48 ampere home station takes a nominal 16 hours to charge, albeit yes it's an EV truck. This is 10 kW, roughly equivalent to running two laundry driers for 16 hours. That gives you an idea of the power needed. It will require power equivalent to a Bruce Darlington or Pickering power station. So, better start building right away. Good luck wit dat, yous guys.

Yep. These problems will no longer be an issue when we invent transporter beams.

My solution should be implemented and would solve all these problems in one master-stroke. Rather than charging the battery yourself, you drive to a battery replacement depot. These are designed to be automated, so you roll in and stop. A mechanism removes your battery and installs a new one that is fully charged. Then off you go. Presto-changeo. The batteries are pre-charged and this is done at a proper charging facility. Can be done on-site at the depot, provided they have the power capability. This doesn't require the whole electrical infrastructure to be changed. All they need is a small modular reactor on-site. Now the batteries can be charged at the proper rate, at the proper temperature and be allowed to cool down after charging. Their performance will be improved, and the time it takes to get your EV back on the road will be minimal as opposed to two hours with an overheated battery.

Did he do that before or after applying the mean old tarrifs on China goods, the ones that made leftists heads spin round and round when he did it, yet the ones Biden kept in place when he became prez? Just wonderin'

Just funnin ya Michael. Don't think about it too much, you may blow a fuse. You didn't outright refute what I said however. I understand because basically what we see today is an abomination of liberalism. Canadian liberals are the good people who built this country. These people are not even liberals. That doesn't mean you get to wash your hands of it though. You can't just walk away from the mess you've made and start acting like you are with the other guys, and expect that no one will notice.
