Ever wonder where the hybrid gas/ electric went. Best of both worlds

Maria wants to know if McCarthy will subpoena Hunter? McCarthy can’t answer any of Maria’s questions. He has to change every answer around to what he can answer. He’s super slick.

———-

And smiles when he knows his ploy worked and he gets Maria’s doe eyed look as he’s hoodwinked her

[patriotspride]

UAW head Shawn Fain says wages account for 5% of vehicle cost.

CBS Margaret Brennan was big on union shops vs. non-union
I didn’t catch enough to know who corporate media is supporting....big biz or labor.....a dichotomy for her/them.

Apparently, many battery mfgs are non-union....many overseas I suspect.

My guy who knows it inside out says the new units are designed to fail and won’t last anywhere near what the old ones did.

——-

Old unit 10 years to replacement new one crapped 5.

... We have free energy machines and have had them hidden for decades.They are waiting on the shelf to be used.

OK, I'll bite. Are you talking about nuclear energy?

[Alas Babylon!]

When I was in Europe in the 90s, the Germans were coming out with a little diesel/electric motor.

Wonder what happened with that?

[patriotspride]

Look for hybrid mfgs to surge. They’re advertising hybrid as an answer to charging anxiety, 46 mpg, and 640+ miles per tank. ..self recharging. Toyota is one, iirc.

——

Thanks for reference. Used one years ago to drive to Ft Lauderdale distance 80 miles $3. Against gas charge. A great deal versus a 20 mpg car at the time even with probably $ 2 a gallon gas so 3 vs 8.

The 2022 Opel Astra diesel-electric hybrid

A production Astra using the same CDTI diesel engine found in the hybrid goes from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 12.3 seconds; the hybrid is expected to reach 100 km/h in just under 8 seconds. That kind of acceleration puts the hybrid on par with the production-model Astra's top-of-the-line 200-horsepower 2.0L ECOTEC gasoline engine. Over 360,000 production Astras, with a variety of engines and trim levels, sold in Europe last year. The diesel engine's high torque, combined with hybrid technology, may offer performance in a car of over 100 mpg US (2.35L per 100 km).

Not sold in the USA.

Some good news

The cable news network logged its worst weekend ratings on record in the all-important 25- to 54-year-old demo, according to the latest Nielsen data released Tuesday.

CNN totaled just 55,000 viewers for its weekend slate of shows that include Sunday political programs “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash,” and “Fareed Zakaria GPS.”

Even CNNLOL’s weekend primetime shows, The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper and Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, attracted only 43,000 demo viewers.

These are the worst ratings since 1991, which is as far back as ratings data is available.
