    Obviously a 30 minute flight is not of great use but neither was Wilbur and Orville's early flights. The world's largest electric plane just took its first flight

    All vehicles rack up CO2 being built no matter what they are powered by. In addition petrol and diesel fuel racks up CO2 in its extraction, shipping overseas, refining and delivery to service stations. We know the negative effects of burning fuel not just CO2 but other pollutants which are unhealthy.

    Yep you should check. I know the everyday in and outs of driving an EV because for a few week a year I get to borrow one whilst on holiday in NZ. The important points here are 75Kwh battery and home charger of 7KWh or supercharger 120KWh or 250KWh.

    This is not right. My sons Tesla has a 75KWh battery. At his home he has a 7KWh charger, I will leave you to do the maths. Tesla superchargers are 120Kw and I believe there are even 250kw again you can do the maths. We travel around NZ in the Tesla with no problems. Est range for this vehicle is 657km although that is in ideal conditions.

    Really? If you charge an EV from a standard 10amp then yes it may take 20 hours, but nobody does that. My sons Tesla will fully charge overnight from his 7kwh charger on ridiculously cheap off peak electricity or about 20 minutes to 80% from a tesla supercharger. When I visit him (he lives in NZ} he lends me this vehicle so I have first hand experience.

    Aren't we talking about hydrogen fuel cells rather than CNG?
  11. octave
    This is an interesting look into the pros and cons of hydrogen for vehicles The Truth about Hydrogen
  12. octave
    There are numerous hydrogen fuel cell cars commercially available right now. Cars commercially available for sale or leasing. 2008-2015 Honda FCX Clarity[2] 2013–2017 Hyundai Tucson/ix35 Fuel Cell[3] 2015-2020 Toyota Mirai 2016 - Roewe 950 fuel cell (plug-in hybrid fuel cell)[4][5] 2016 - Honda Clarity Fuel Cell[6][7] 2018 - Hyundai Nexo 2020 - Toyota Mirai II The main problem at this point is the lack of places to refuel.

    If you want a succinct list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lawsuits_involving_Donald_Trump Now I know you are going to say Wikipedia is in accurate but you can actually follow up the references for more authoritative sources. I have no idea how sound these law suits are and in fact this list includes cases where he is the plaintiff. But you are missing my point. I have no idea whether he is squeaky clean or not, those law suits will play out in the fullness of time, You put the proposition that My main point was the allegations against Hillary Clinton have also been around for 4 or 5 years with no actual evidence. Wasn't Trump going to lock her up? Just getting back to Sully vs Trump it is interesting to compare both of these peoples characters. Sully has class and humility and Trump....

    One could mount the same argument regarding allegations against others for example Clinton and Biden's son. A sitting president cannot be prosecuted under federal law but after his presidency is a different matter. There are also many pending lawsuits regarding his past business activities as well as from financial dealings with his own family. https://www.justsecurity.org/72565/all-the-presidents-lawsuits-fraud-defamation-and-the-westfall-act-jean-carroll-mary-trump/ It is notable that every other presidential candidate releases their tax records. It should ring alarm bells that he alone will not

    Which wars did Obama start rather than inherit?
  19. octave
    Just an observation on the quality of the information of this meme, I not that first on the Obama list is operation Ocean Shield. This was a NATO led operation to protect shipping from piracy in African waters. Should this be considered in a list of wars? An as for the other side I can see no mention of Trumps bombing of Syria or the drone attack's that continue. I would anticipate that if I could be bothered checking other items in these lists and it is difficult as this list is reproduced at a size that is difficult to even read. Wherever information comes from it is so important to look for supporting evidence. Far too many people on all sides regard information that supports their gut feeling to be true and anything contrary to be false,

    Actually NASA back in the Apollo program used a mixture but most calculations were done in metric and then converted.
