We have programs where I live that enable you to have 100% of your electricity use covered by renewable sources without needing to install solar on your home or build a wind turbine. The fossil fuel plants may ultimately be where the exact energy being used is generated currently, but the added costs enable further investment in renewable infrastructure and the individual use is fully offset by renewable generation elsewhere.

I encourage anyone that's environmentally conscious but doesn't think they have an path to accessing green energy sources to research similar programs with their energy provider.

@Nessussus that's great insight. I recall reading a paper about using magnetic fields to enhance performance of some EV battery cells.

There is so much research into new, innovative ways, to build a better battery and increase performance. I have no doubt that the total carbon footprint of EVs will continue to decrease. Smaller batteries, lighter weight, increased range, faster charging. All good things.

Can you recommend any relevant papers about EV battery recycling? I'd be interested to learn more about that process.

I can't speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.

Am I alone in not liking the matte trend? I prefer the pearl finish with a more interesting color than black, grey, silver, or white. Give me a nice, blue, red, orange, yellow, green. Anything but the dull colors.

Love the GT-R, but fancy the blue pearl over this any day.
