Excellent, well-researched and informative, thanks Arnie. I could see this being a ‘long read’ for The Guardian - have you thought about pitching your essays there? I reckon this is exactly the sort of environmental journalism they’re looking for.

We have solar & an EV. The panels paid for themselves a couple of years ago and the Solar now delivers 5,000 miles/yr, 8 months hot water, abt $900+ of free energy and a Feed in Export check of about $600 a year. Each additional 1000 miles in the EV costs less than $30 (overnight tariff 8.5p/kw).

Meanwhile, we always leave home with a full tank & use public chargers abt 3 times a year, for a 10 minute top-up.
