The bill allows New York City to require the speed governor for the cars of traffic scofflaws who incur school zone speed camera violations 16 times or more in 12 months. The city would create and run the pilot program.

What? Why do they have licenses still?

    Which also occurs in albums as well. There are plenty of filler music in almost every album ever made. If anything, streaming disincentivizes filler tracks - each track has to compete for attention. Though, in practice this is going to depend on recommendation and discovery algorithms.

    There are definitely many power hungry and disingenuous politicians. Probably the vast majority. BUT hating politicians as a rule is just antidemocratic cynicism IMO. An excuse to not pay attention, to not hold politicians accountable, and to not want to compromise under any circumstance.

    This is just a shallow, cynical, anti-intellectual remark.

    Sodium ion batteries are already hitting production.

    Iron flow and vanadium redox batteries also already exist in the real world.

    Grid and residential battery installations are happening at a rapidly accelerating pace.

    Lithium ion battery prices have dropped something like 90% over the last 15 years.

    Battery technology is improving at dramatic rate, both lithium ion and non lithium ion solutions.

    There are also studies showing certain plants do well too. Also ignoring that a truly massive amount of cropland is being used for ethanol, which is a much less efficient form of energy than solar.

    Which is why any handwringing about "food not solar" is an entirely artificial grassroots campaign by the fossil fuel industry and right wing interests. We should transfer our ethanol corn fields to solar asap.
