Cheapest auto driving car? Comma.ai sell a kit to convert your car to self driving for $1000. Not quite there but impressive nevertheless.

Years before CHARGERS will be ready for Toronto electric ferries (2). They're running them on Diesel in the meantime. And the batteries will be dead? Or diesel charged, ha, brilliant! :D

The new ferries operate run on LNG. I take the Guillaume de Normandie a lot. The difference is spectacular. You can take a walk on the deck and smell not a whiff of diesel.

If it's burning gas, there is no diesel. It doesn't take a genious to figure that out. Instead, you get gas fumes, but the boat is doing 16 knots and the exhaust is behind the deck, so whatever fumes there are, you won't smell them. That's how physics works. Even if it were a diesel, there would be nothing to smell.

I use this route for 50 years.
If you take the 3pm sailing as often as I do, you'll appreciate the difference.

Miliband is right. Putting solar panels on a flat surface like a lake is pretty effective. I don't think the whole surface should be used. 25% seems to me a good compromise.

If it isn't blind to cyclists, cyclist killers reprogramming open source to mark us with crosshairs and crush us like bugs, is all we need.

Do you remember the recent floods in Dubai, where ther was cloud seeding done during the previous days, but it wasn't that, which caused the floods? Well, the story has repeated. Who'd have thought it?

I don't think that has any impact on the flood. You need clouds in place before you can seed it to turn it into rain, hence the name of the company, rainmaker. It's currently not possible to create a weather system with rain seeding technology.
The seeded clouds would have disappeared, turned into rain within a couple of hours or dissipated within a day.
The flood was caused by remnants of storms.

Trouble is that your expertise on the weather might be about as your financial advice. The S&P 500 has gone up 20% since you said that you were going to sell off your USA stock because Trump was going to crash the market.

Where exactly did you get your weather training from. Was it the BBC, CNN or Chat GPT?

When I was 15, in geography lessons.
I sold off my USA stock last week.
