If they garden naked I'm gouging out my own eyeballs. The oldest is 10 yrs my senior the next is 5 yrs older and 1 is 2 yrs younger I'm 60 so if you like that sort of thing I guess I could make a few calls

How good is the tech in general to recycle the Li Batteries? I actually am starting to trust them more especially the LiFe but I am still leary of the other ions. I am glad to see some manufacturers offer LiMn that are working as well as the old LiCo we all know and love in out laptops and cordless drills.

a major portion of the Gigafactory is for recycling batteries on site. They will turn old batteries into new batteries on the spot......love Elon

I would probably buy a Tesla if it wasn't $90.000.00. Its sounds nice and all but can YOU afford it. I worked on pipelines good union jobs and I'm for northern Minnesota were the iron is dug so its a win win for this area ! OK I just read about a 35.000.00 Tesla thats not to bad but I would rather have a Hellcat lol.

I like the switch to electric. I think this image kinda conveys where we are at efficiency wise with the solar panels........


Not quite the drag times of the Tesla or the wheelie popping ability of Stealth Bomber but its getting there.....when these thin, flexible, lightweight and low light panels start adorning rooftops and windows I think it will be a milestone.

I use to work at the Mintac mine back in the late 70's in central shop. Can't remember how many cutting edges for dozers and road graders etc we would replace in a month but yeah they all came from Japan. Imagine that we're digging taconite to make steel but yet our own company (US Steel) was sourcing heavy steel parts from overseas due to cost. So my guess that sort of shit won't change.
