No, you don’t get it. They’re not cheese-eating surrender-monkeys because of their military record but because…

… they didn’t support the unjustified invasion of Iraq.

It would be interesting to see them update that with current data since global PV installations are estimated at 392 GW for 2023.
It is unrealistic to imagine that we could jump into a full-scale infrastructure replacement in one year. To set the scale, the U.S. uses about 3 TW of continuous power. A 1% drop corresponds to 30 GW of power. Our modest 2% replacement therefore would require the construction of about 60 new 1 GW power plants in a single year, or a rate of one per week! Worldwide, we quadruple this number.
What capability have we demonstrated in the past? In 2010, global production of solar photovoltaics was 15 GW, which is only about 6% of what we would need to fill a world-wide energy gap of 2% per year. Even on a tear of 50% increase per year, it would take 7 years to get to the required rate. Wind installations in 2010 totaled 37 GW, or 14% of the 2% global requirement. It would take 5 years at a breakneck 50% per year rate of increase to get there. When France decided to go big on nuclear, they built 56 reactors in 15 years. In doing so, they replaced 80% of their electricity consumption, which translates to about 30% of their total energy use. So this puts them at about 2% per year in energy replacement.

The beauty of Hollywood accounting spreading to other industries. Ford Motor Company sells their cars for an on book loss after sales incentives like sub-prime financing through Ford Credit. Ford Credit then makes a profit due to interest payments thus wiping out the loss on the vehicle sale.
The bulk of those companies are in the energy business and they respond to consumer demand. Chevron isn’t out there drilling, extracting, refining, and burning oil for no reason.

Driving an EV is like driving a single speed manual, not an automatic, especially if it has any amount of performance. The throttle response is instantaneous, no waiting for the torque converter, shifting, or power building. Also, when driving in a high regeneration mode, letting off the pedal feels like downshifting a gear or two. It’s super engaging and the instant response feels so smooth and natural.
It’s the nuclear arms race part deux: AI boogaloo.

A good way to remember is that RGB on the same wire is a Composite signal whereas when they have their own cables they are sent as individual Components.
