    I guess my point that you are missing is, solar and wind are predictably undependable and work only about half of the time. Because of that we need a grid that has the capacity to power 100% of the users 100% of the time without solar and wind. Even if solar and wind can produce power cheaper...

    My only issue with the push to EV is it's being done backwards. We should first decide on the technology we will use to produce electricity in the future. Then start increasing grid capacity. At the same time develop a better technology for storing electricity that is not so harmful to the...

    Plus, the advent of self driving cars will open up a whole new market that has up to now been unserved. Blind people will now be able to own a car and drive.

    When the cost of employees gets too high, the companies will look to automation to reduce cost and improve reliability. The same thing is happening in the restaurant business.

    Coyote With A Capture

    Interesting. I have a few of those in use. Two on radio towers. Never a problem with any of them and always great video for a five year old PTZ.

    It's just darn lucky we have an experienced transportation secretary and energy secretary guiding us through these trying times. :rofl:

    Let's see, sell electric cars on a weak electric grid and then harden the grid when it fails. Or, harden the grid first and then sell electric cars. I'm no engineer, but I can see the logical choice here.

    And so...I started a new lawn with grass seed...need to snapshot pics for next 3 months. Interval for time lapse?

    An interval of 4 or 6 hours is only going to give you a few images per day and will result is a very jumpy timelapse video. I would go for every 30 minutes. You can always delete images but you can't make up images. Plus, storage is cheap.

    A Live Camera Installation on a Building Demolition

    The contractor finished today. I don't think it took as long as they thought. Even in the 100+ degree heat they kept going. The camera will remain at the site through demolition of the building and the construction of the new one.

    I drove from from eastern Nebraska to Salt Lake City last week. I saw three Tesla vehicles on the way out and one on the way back parked alongside the road in very rural stretches of road. Guess they forgot their portable generator. Or, maybe they just broke down. www.jumpme.com is for sale...

    I think I need to buy stock in a portable generator company.

    The way I see it, solar and wind on a small scale makes sense. The application where a house has panels or a wind generator and the power is stored locally in a battery bank. Like a Tesla Powerwall or Generac PWRcell. Not selling it back to the local utility. The large scale solar and wind...

    I think the future belongs to electric vehicles. But getting people to make the switch by raising the price of fuel seems to me the wrong approach. High fuel prices will just drain the average Americans bank account to the point that they will never be able to buy a EV. The change must be...

    A Live Camera Installation on a Building Demolition

    The processor temp is always a concern. Right now it is 66F outside and the pi temp is 50.5C. I usually check late in the afternoon and so far I have not had a problem with this one. Yesterday afternoon the outside temp was 97F and the pi temp was 79C. Still below the 85C spec. Saturday it...

    A Live Camera Installation on a Building Demolition

    I watched for a bit earlier and it looks like they are taking the tiles off in 4' x 8' chunks and attaching them to a sheet of plywood..
