Ask Me About: 2019 Chevrolet Silverado LT Trail Boss

Ahhhh, this reminds me of so many good movies. That building has been used in many movies. This years Tradeshow building has been Brutal. I will be so happy when this is all over and in June I can get back to having time to write stories for C&G. I have a part 2 that I need to complete on all the added details around the MAGMA GV60 as that auto is so cool with the tech. It puts both BMW M series and the Mercedes AMG series to shame. Korea has really stepped up their game in performance.

Here in Washington State, there are incentives to turn your roof into a complete Solar panel with storage and the county / state will buy back any excess. I have many coworkers who have done this and now just charge their EVs for free pretty much. As one that is planning a complete remodel of the house for retirement as the wife and I have decided to stay put till we are 6ft under, the one thing I will do is change the roof into a 45-degree angle with complete solar panels and storage. The assessments are showing that I will more than be able to power the whole house and charge my EVs with no pulling from the grid, but excess that I can sell back into the grid. EV is the future, Solar charging just makes it so much better.

I am looking for witnesses, cross-checks, and people whose lived contact with reality exposes the theater. Its why I love the discussions here when they are rational.

just by going up lol. I use to be able to get a solar/wind contract for 8c/kWh as recently as 2 years ago. I get the rates e-mailed to me once a week and they range from 12.5c - 14c. That's really close to my house. I can often hear them.

Not just us, Asia and Europe are suffering much harder than we are with the Hormuz blockade. There will be a worldwide shift. One interesting thing, there are a lot of German vehicle manufacturers who will be left out I think as China has cracked the EV thing. With the decline of America in NATO, it makes sense to me that Germany will use its auto plants to re arm. I wonder how energy contracts will evolve with the changes in society and industry.

In many states you can sign 1 or 2 year rate contracts. That only covers the cost of the generation and not the delivery, but even delivery is set by the state and is usually once a year rate change at most. I've had green energy contracts for my house for years. It's nice to know my rate is fixed.

Yep. that's one of my biggest issues, the instability. I REALLY doubt my electricity rates will just double in a month or triple in a year or anything wild like that.

Pittsburgh area rail fanning for Drew... This is exactly what will happen to much of the oil infrastructure in the middle east if the war there gets hot again. Iran will hit the exporting and production capacity of every nation with US bases.

I regret Obama bailing them out at this point, and regret Chrylser getting bailed out in the 80's. The internal corporate culture will never change or adapt at Domestic Car companies/Stallantis. Walked out of a Jazz concert last night and imports outnumbered domestics by 7-8 to 1 or more in the parking lot. And the folks driving domestics were largely over 70. Other than trucks, no one I work with, am in clubs with, at my wife's church, or know socially really drives domestics. They are really so 2002...or 1982...or 1962. NOT 2032! This fits the broader pattern of the Belt and Road initiative. Everything we spend on war and a military China spends on actual domestic production and foreign development that actually helps people. The world is bypassing the USA, and that rate of bypass will only speed up as time moves forward. This video shows the changing face of warfare. Our one trillion dollar military is largely obsolete.
