Deficits went down every year under Clinton as well. As a matter of fact, there were surpluses in his last three years. They went up every year under Bush Sr.

Students in regular boarding schools were not forcibly removed from their families and denied their language and culture. Where are the cemeteries outside regular boarding schools?

The debt increased over 7 trillion dollars during Trump's four years. After 2009, deficits went down every year under Obama. They went up every year under Trump.

So she would be negotiating for Putin.

How is she going to negotiate with Putin, will she get him to pull his troops from Ukraine?

Got bail in July, subject to a list of conditions as long as your arm.

I guess they know a lot about the Bible.

Did they know it was coming a week in advance like we do now, or didn't know something (but not what) was going to happen until the barometer started to drop which was the only warning they would have had back then. On edit: How many people had barometers back then an how would they warn people who didn't have them?

Germany used hydrogen because the US would not sell helium to the Nazis. At the time the US produced almost all the world's helium. The most likely source of ignition would be a spark of some sort. Internal electrical, lightning, static electricity.

Here comes the next one.

However

But it doesn't meet the definition. I know it is hot, dry and has rattlesnakes and cactus, I lived there for 6 years when I was a kid. However, it doesn't meet the official definition of desert.

No. Osoyoos is as close as you get in southern Canada but not classified as desert.

The only desert in Canada is the Arctic.

A `10 km radius is 1000 sq km.

The line in Merritt even made news in Australia. https://thedriven.io/2021/06/30/tesla-owners-line-up-at-superchargers-amid-record-canada-temperatures/ This is why at this point I would tend more toward a PHEV in spite of higher maintenance costs.

On the May long weekend the line for the Supercharger station in Hope BC was over a block long.

Western Europe with a population of just under 200 million has an area that is only 10% larger than BC which has a population of less than 5 million. Yes, brush clearing near structures is important and encouraged.

They still are but that only extends to areas around their property. Most fires are started by lightning in mountainous country.

I'm not anti EV. Pretty sure my next vehicle will either be an EV or PHEV. I'm just not blind to the limitations of Li batteries. Their energy density sucks compared to fossil fuels. People do care about that. Aside from cost, their biggest concerns are range and charging infrastructure. You can only rapid charge Li batteries to 80% and on average it would probably take 40 minutes. You can fill a ICE's tank to 100% in less than ten minutes. I have a neighbour with a Tesla that he occasionally takes from the Lower Mainland to Prince George and he says charging is not a big problem if you stay on main highways but get off them and things get a lot more interesting. If you want to double that ICE range, all you have to do is add another 70 lbs of gas. To double the Tesla's range you need to add another 1200 lb battery.

Neither one is funded. Just means bigger deficits.

BC alone is almost a million sq kilometres, most of it forest and a lot of that in steep terrain. That's a lot of forest to clean.

http://www.menloenergy.com/?p=535 A single gallon of gas contains 36 kwh so a 1.5 gallons of gas contain the same amount of energy as that 53 kWh Tesla battery. Even if the Tesla's electric motors are 100% efficient (they aren't) and the ICE is only 30% efficient, the ICE would only need to carry 5 gallons of gas to match the energy contained in that 1200 lb battery. That is an old article and Tesla batteries are now up to 100 kWh but the ICE would only need 10 gallons of gas (70 lbs) to equal that.
