Battery Swapping for Electric Vehicles
From EV Insider: Battery giant CATL is working with automakers on battery swapping that takes just over a minute-and-a-half. And the first cars with the capability are already on the road.
About 15 years ago, it seemed that battery swapping might be a great idea, and come to dominate the way we charged our EVs. Readers who are interested in this piece of history can look up “Project Better Place.”
For some reason, however, the concept never gained traction and now has largely been forgotten.
I know a lot of folks are wondering how far the Republicans are going to move to the right before a significant number of Trump supporters have simply seen enough and call for a return of some sort of sanity.

A dear old friend sent me a documentary from the mid-20th Century about the Rothschild family, exposing how, its creator claims, they covertly control everything of any importance going on in the world.
The Stoic philosophers, e.g., Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, were arguably the sages most focused on the practical issues of the human condition.
If someone can explain how this is an example of “making America great again,” I’d be very interested.
It does appear that the White House has crossed a red line, and that there is really no return path.
From “The Other 98%”:
As shown at left, not everyone involved in these protests is carrying a sign that reads, “Trump Is a Fink” or “Down with Trump.”
There is no doubt that reducing one’s consumption of meat lessens the destruction of fragile parts of our environment, e.g., the Amazon rain forest.
As shown at left, Trump has no shame when it comes to fabricating stories that paint him as a superior leader to his predecessor. Apparently, his supporters have come to expect this and simply don’t care that essentially everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.
