I can assure you that I live very much in the real world. I have grown weary of your ad hominem attacks - probably the laziest of logical fallacies - and your interest in argument rather than discussion.

This is the Friendly Forum for High End Audio. It increasingly appears that's a difficult premise for you to accept.

I’ll be interested in seeing how states plan on providing and delivering enough electricity to charge millions of electric cars in order to ban the sales of gas and diesel trucks by 2030. Heck California can’t generate and/or deliver adequate electricity in the summer to run their AC already and fusion is decades away from being a reality. Solar works in some parts of the country better than others ... govt should do some feasibility studies so we don’t wake up in 2030 and have a bunch of electric cars and nothing to charge them with. We may be choosing AC or charge the car? Hmmm ... LOL

Ignoring the source of the real problem in California will go a long way towards actually fixing it... Blame everything but the main problem... https://calmatters.org/commentary/my...s-an-overhaul/

Bart, an even better idea is to have virtually unlimited "vertical" lanes of "sky-highway" travel.


U.S. planemaker Boeing Co said it was working with Volkswagen’s sports car brand, Porsche, to develop a concept electric flying vehicle capable of transporting people in urban settings.

Boeing is already competing with arch-rival Airbus SE and other companies to introduce small self-flying vehicles capable of vertical takeoff and landing.

Earlier this year, the planemaker conducted an inaugural test flight of an aerial car prototype that could accommodate two to four passengers and fly up to 50 miles.

The test flight was within months of Airbus showcasing a prototype of an autonomous passenger vehicle in partnership with Volkswagen’s premium brand, Audi, that has the ability to both fly and drive.

Porsche has been aiming to build flying cars that can be used as taxis and for ride-sharing purposes.

As part of the deal, Boeing and Porsche will analyze the market potential for premium aerial vehicles and their possible use in highly populated cities and metropolises, the companies said.

The partnership comes at a crucial time for both Volkswagen and Boeing.
