Re: What we need to do now

The chapter looking at green energy doesn't contain anything radical which is probably a good thing. He proposes to increase our wind and PV capacity by a factor of twenty or so very roughly 250GW of solar and 45oGW wind. He calculates that at this level even during "lulls" we would nearly...

Re: ID4 Motor Teardown

There's little difference between BSW/F and metric, only 5 degrees IIRC, so it struck me as amusing that his un-fasteners couldn't be un done, what thread was he referring to with an 8 degree angle? that sounds like a strange beast to me.
