Definitely possible. On "Rich Rebuilds" channel they've put electric motors into mini-cooper and other vehicles.

The issue is that current mechanics aren't trained to work with complex electrical systems, and the shops don't have the tools for the jobs.

So mechanics and garages need to be retooled.

Solar is indeed capable of charging a vehicle. 10 kwh of solar, that you can mount on your home's roof, can produce 40-60 kwh a day, dependent on location. Works in the winter too, only very overcast/snow days interrupt production.

A 60 kwh battery is 200+ miles of distance.

Not even mentioning upcoming lightweight vehicles like Aptera that get 700-1000 miles on 50 kwh.

Support that with nuclear.

Even using natural gas to generate electricity will produce less emissions than gasoline vehicles.

Even having a coal/oil plant generate electricity to charge vehicles, will reduce emissions, because people can fill-up at home, which eliminate an entire distribution network of last-mile transport trucks and gas stations.

As electric car usage increases, gas stations will be fueled less often (ie. instead of daily, only refueled every 3rd day). Which means less trucks burning emissions to deliver gasoline.

More efficient to use trains to deliver coal to power plants in large loads, rather than thousands of trucks delivering gasoline nationwide every day.

It will be a slow process to replace existing usage and infrastructure, but eventually most vehicles will be electric.

Cargo ships and large machinery will likely continue to run on gas and diesel, but ie. 85-90% of consumer travel will be electric.

And other solutions will play a role too. ie. Germany is already building electric lanes on highways so delivery trucks can run on grid power. Like trolley buses, these trucks have arms that extend to connect to overhead wires. So large batteries are not always necessary.

There are also tens of millions of small engines like scooters, motorcycles, lawnmowers, generators that burn fuel, which in most cases, can be replaced with electric alternatives.

I watch a YouTuber who creates motorcycles that hit 100 mph and over 80 miles of range.

The biggest issue right now is pricing and supply of batteries. But as the next 10 years progress, the increased supply of lithium batteries will transform the consumer ecosystem of these goods, and ease of access to lithium powered devices.

Red-Blue Solar-Moon (Solomon) polarity intensifies.

Interesting theories from the producer of the "crater earth" theory videos:

And after that one, the follow-up:

https://youtu.be/uXA3fjR42vQ

It doesn't matter which side you support. Taking either side is willing your "self" into the conflict narrative.

Same with Ukraine and Russia, it doesn't matter which side you think is right, preferring any side causes you to personally become entangled in the victim-aggressor narrative.

The only reasonable position to take is to not participate.

Call for unity.

Reject the division matrix programming.

The matrix wants you to feel hate, to feel disgust, because that causes you to contribute and lock your energy into the eternal fight.

It doesn't matter who is the aggressor today, we are all victims of the matrix.

We need to rise our collective consciousness above the duality narrative that has been playing-out for the last 10,000 years.

We are at the energetic point of consolidation, these duality polarization events will speed-up and become more frequent in coming months, last push to show the world that reacting emotionally is futile.

You must seperate from the emotion, and elevate your focus to a higher plane of possibility.

The final solution is working from home and not needing to commute.

You may be right, but I also think we just need to reduce emissions, not cut them out completely. So using electricity whenever possible, and diesel when it's not.

The price of solar panels has fallen drastically, and I think mass adoption of solar is a part of it.

The people in power don't want to admit that consumerism and "green" are not complementary ideas. "Green" in the context of creating more products does nothing to reduce waste.

There's a YouTuber "Rich Rebuilds" that talks about the issues with Tesla. He's pushing for the "right to repair". It's gotten better, in recent years Tesla has opened access to documentation, and you can order replacement parts now (although there is a wait, especially got worse during pandemic years).

Fixing the Tesla is still hard though, because there's few places that fix electric cars. But this niche will eventually get filled, like Rich Rebuild's "Electric Garage", he has 3 locations now to service Teslas and electric cars.

I disagree with your assessment that Tesla's are a big piece of shit. They're some of the best vehicles ever made, in terms of cabin and drive quality, longevity, and safety. They had issues initially with production, but Elon personally spent 3 years living in a factory to get them fixed. Today the build quality is much better, in terms of panel spacing and electrical issues.

I get it, you're paying $45k and there can be issues at delivery. We're talking about a new car company with less than 10 years of experience in mass-production. It's to be expected, but it will get better. If you're bothered by these issues, it's best you wait another 5 years. Realistically, electric cars are still not affordable for most people, and the electric infrastructure is still early too.

But that doesn't mean they're not doing great things, and I feel you're being disingenuous to not give them credit.

The chemicals in lithium-ion batteries are 85% reusable so far, with current recycling methods (lithium is lost, but are surface pond mined... hard metals are 100% reusable over and over again).

The 500t claim doesn't acknowledge that other non-battery minerals are also extracted during the process as well, also refined and sold, like copper, iron, nickle, carbon, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, lead, etc. Minerals don't exist individually, they exist together in ore streams.

Once the battery is created, you can charge it for 10-15 years using solar panels, no longer excerting energy to generate driveable distance.

Oil rigs and oil refining is also an energy intensive and dirty process. To build and deliver an oil rig on location, drill hundreds of feet into the ocean, transport workers and oil back and forth, etc for 10-15 comparable years of gas needed to fuel your gasoline vehicle to a comparable mileage.

Once extracted, oil must be refined (energy intensive and dirty), and energy is spent on ships and trucks to deliver that gasoline to your nearest gas station every single week for the next 10-15 years, so that you have access to gasoline always available.

Once the battery is recycled and put into a new vehicle, you don't need to move another 500 tons of earth, while a gas vehicle requires another 10-15 years of oil mining and delivery.

500t is not a lot of dirt. Mining haul trucks can carry 350t to 400t. So you're talking about 1.5 loads per battery pack, and those loads include non-battery pack minerals.

Someone at the port is getting fired for removing the wrong bags from the containers.

"Crypto" is a scam. Only Bitcoin matters.

Bitcoin is up over 1450% since March 2020.

It was one of the first commodities to increase when money printing accelerated.

Yeah, you're right. There is no sense of time. You just "are" simultaneously everywhere, in all times, in all forms. No longer restricted to a singular linear perspective.

Everything external of our physical time-space reality is in eternity. Because when there is no time, which is a perceptipn of separation between God's perfection and ego, you are back within God's perfection and unconditional love, and that all exists simultaneously within an eternal "now" moment, even all past and futures exist sultaneously in the now.

The closest experience we have to hell is the suffering we experience in this physical existence. It is our ego and free-will separating us, distorting our focus away, from God's perfection.

It ceases when leave this body, because we all emerge back into oneness with God consciousness. Death is an instant refocusing where you are recalled home.

1900/1450 --> seems likely to cause ruble to appreciate and dollar to depreciate until these converge.

Lol, no, what are you smoking?

The only way to lower the price of an asset is to flood the market to lower demand.

Like with GameStop, if everyone bought PUTS (aka. is selling the stock), the price drops because there's a high supply and low demand.

Russia pegging at US$1450 demonstrates they want Gold, means the Demand has just increased because there's more BUY orders, but Supply remains the same, so now the price of Gold will go even higher... probably $2000 and beyond.

Sorry to tell you, there's no hell. Hell is a concept created by humans. Only human minds are so deficient and malicious that they would wish eternal suffering to another slice/fragment of embodied God expressing itself.

I had a near-death experience and "they" showed me real unconditional love. Unconditional love does not hold judgment because it knows all. But judgment is only possible when lacking context.

But rest assured, that even these vile expressions who get to re-integrate into the Wholeness once again, the celebration during your reintegration into All-That-Is will be so much more awesome, you who came here to be present as a representative of eternal Truth.

You are admired and highly respected, because you managed to be physically present during this time of deceit, and you never lost your self, like the others.

"They" think very highly of you, especially for choosing to still be here and shine a light for the others, while many of the other lightbringers have chosen to leave and not do the whole suffering thing anymore.

God speed, truth-speaker.

If citizens can't go to a bank to trade Ruble for oil/gold, then it's a worthless paper currency like all the rest.

Also, the only "pegging" Russia has done so far, is "pegging" BUY price of gold to US$1450/oz, while the market price is US$1900 (aka. in Putin's favor).

So they are willing to pay you 75% of market rate using a worthless paper currency that no one wants. Wooow, what a deal! /s

Even if Russian GDP does well this year -- and they might, considering they won't have an oil and food shortage like NATO countries -- Ruble will still be SHIT.

Yes. But their shit paper currency is NOT "backed by gold". You can't go to a bank and trade your rubles for gold.

ZeroHedge is full of shit. Even Russian citizens are saying is a completely made up title.

At no point did Russia offer to give away gold for rubles. They are not SELLing any gold.

To be backed by gold, means you can trade shit paper money for gold at the bank.
