will the increased requirements to charge all these vehicles increase power plant emissions worsening the effects of coal over regular vehicle emissions?

No, that's never going to happen. A huge coal power plant is always going to operate at a higher efficiency than a little engine inside a car or truck. It's the efficiency of scale. And that's the starting point! Our grid is already nearing 50% renewable in some places and it's rising.

Hey, I learned this the other day from Practical Engineering!

Do you think under a communist gift economy, release dates for media wouldn't matter?

This rule comes into effect in 2032, mind you, so it's not as aggressive as I'd like, but it is good.

I don't believe in omnipotent or omniscient gods, only normal ones, but I'll bite your hypothetical.

An omniscient god would necessarily have a perfect sense of empathy. They would know what everyone is feeling. And to know a feeling is to feel it, so they would feel every feeling in the world, at full intensity. Obviously such a being would need to be all emotionally resilient as well as all knowing. But they would care for the problems of mortals, because they would feel what mortals do. Perhaps in such a hypothetical, prayers are simply a person attaching a feeling of urgency to their needs, in hope that their god will feel this urgency too and respond.

But of course, I believe in normal gods, so this is all just an intellectual exercise to me.

Hooray! Let's start building grid storage! I hear California really needs batteries.

NPD doesn't cause abusive behaviour. That's a made up stereotype.

Also why are you saying this post is bad because "it's the most NPD post ever"? Do you think people with NPD are bad?

I personally choose to believe the people complaining about Aloys peach fuzz have never seen a real woman

TRON: Evolution is also a prequel to Tron Legacy and it has a complete story. You get to witness Clue's takeover of the grid in real time.

This is actually the opinion of the Bugis people of Indonesia. Only the Bissu, transgender priests, can talk to the gods.

Risking someone's life in the event you don't have perfect attention aside, no matter what happens in the car you will PM10 dust pollution that gives little kids asthma, and if it's an ICE car you will release CO2 that brings all life on earth closer to extinction. It's one of the single most massively violent acts an average human is capable of.
