I am trying to re-write my comment because I just accidently wiped it out. They need an "UNDO" on this blog interface.
I watched the vid skipping through it. For me it is pretty much see spot run. I say that with no negative aspect. It is just I have been in tech and RE so long I have pretty much seen it all. I am assuming the "religious" angle is for presentation and flare purposes. Nice touch. It if it is anything other than that, I don't want to know anyway.
Range anxiety is a real and justified "thing" in some cases. It pretty much is a case by case analysis. DC fast charge can solve this issue, but the business case (Capitalism) is not very good as I expressed in my article. That of course is why the FFI and all its slaves want any type of GOV aggressive implementation of DC nationwide fast charge to die.
I mean frankly, if you want to know what actions to get done, just look at what they fight. Its really that simple.
I wrote a TFTD a long time ago, #037 which makes it over 20 years old:
#037. "Mankind will not go, " the way of the dinosaur", for lack of "the saving" technologies, but for the inability to make money on it, i.e., Capitalism does not bring the best goods and services to market but the ones that make the most money."
The "sin" you refer to in your sermon is in fact $$. Again that simple.
Someone once said that if you eliminate all that is possible as an explanation, you are left with the impossible.
In this specific case I would label the "impossible" as that causal agent that we refuse to look at as the culprit. $$.
And as a matter of Physics and Engineering which I am sure you can appreciate, if one refuses to look at and alter that specific causal agent for the problem, the possible implementation of a solution is left to accident. Not very good odds or prognosis.
Again though, liked the vid and infused humor. Strictly from the audio, it seemed like the attending crowd was small, but enthusiastic.
Often times, especially in the past, that was the only realty.
What I find more troubling and skewed from this exact conversation, in fact supports this thought, "If you can't survive the short term, the long term will not be your problem." It is my estimation that "the people" do not realize the absolutely horrific situation we are in in terms of our current socio-political realities. Massive social events of history happened not because there weren't any people to see the train coming, but that, seeing the train coming is no where near a guarantee that you can avoid it. If that were not true, we would not have horrific events made by man in our past.
All these things we talk about here are under the
auspices of an umbrella of freedom and function. The production of Fascism is not one of betterment, but only of the effort to feed the war machine for power and control. Neither of those, aside from any attempt at ethics or morality, would address the global warming issue. In fact it would accelerate it.
I am going to watch "Wednesday Adams" for an emotional uplift.

William has given me the ideal lead-in to resurrect this video of a talk I first gave at Solar 2013. I was asked to repeat it at Solar 2014, where some friends convinced Dave and Paulette to film it.
Though slightly dated, I think it has stood the test of time, with one exception: Ignore the numbers on the Energy Intensity vs. Fuel Mileage graph. The Transportation Energy Data Book used a flawed methodology back then. The point I made with that slide is still valid; it just requires a longer, more nuanced explanation now that DOE has fixed their error.
