We are on our third smart meter already within a couple of years, they just go nuts. Meanwhile the analog one lasted from 1992 (i found the receipt) and was taken down not because it broke, but because they replaced it with this supposed “smart” one, no notification or anything beforehand either, they even let themselves in on the property, or if you don’t let em, the power company calls the cops on you.

My home my castle? I guess not.

I was just watching Dan Peña on the Joe Rogan podcast, who said:

“Do you know why Aramco, the national oil company of Saudi Arabia, will go public?

They’re selling 2% of the company, not because they need money, they have all the money in the world, it’s because when you go public, you gotta do a reserve report, the reserve report is going show how many barrels they have, proved producing, unproved. And we’ve been guesstimating for years that Aramcos got a couple billion barrels, maybe 3, 4 billion barrels, and that report is going to show that they have trillions!”

That’s a good question, what happens if crude drops down to $23.95 a barrel like in 2016, why then bother with electric vehicles?

Because once Aramco goes public in 2018, the peak oil myth will be put to rest.

Filling up your electric car will not be free (or subsidized) forever, what then?

Then reality hits the fan.

Oil storage facilities are already overflowing, there is a gluttony of oil, ships are going all the way around Africa, because that extra fuel is cheaper than paying the suez canal fee.

You can run most domestic supplies up to around 63A – the fuse carriers normally say 100A but inside it’s normally a 63, or an 80. (Not that I ever cut the DNO tags). So I guess fast charging is possible if you can overcome the rising resistance/heat issues.

The real problems start when everyone in your road decides to ‘fill the car up’ at the same time

Good job all those smart meters were coincidentally installed
