Man I love what my ADHD meds have done for me in a lot of ways, but what I don't love is how fast they wear off with no way around it (I'm on max dose, yeah I've tried fucking with the timing, it's either 'I'm awake for a chunk' or 'awake for tiny bits but feel worse because big tired in between') which now means I'm considering putting my head in the magnet machine (transcranial magnetic stimulation) in terms of 'can we fix my depression already' and it's just big oof (and expensive).

Problem is, I am honestly really wondering given I feel at this point the world would have to change to fix my depression (I have figured out - I am no longer the problem) if it will even DO anything :V

Is California’s push to phase out diesel Recreational Vehicles yet another control tactic masquerading as climate policy? Conveniently, as with so many other policies, it's both.

Nov 26, 2024

End-of-year ‘blowouts’, Black Friday sales, ‘last year’s models,’ and all manner of rebates and promotions exist to lure prospective road warriors into the showrooms of RV dealers. However, if you've been considering a new diesel motorhome as a hedge against society’s imminent collapse, you might be in for an unwelcome surprise — particularly if you live in California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Massachusetts, or Maryland.

New regulations, set to take effect in 2025, will effectively bar the sales of new diesel motorhomes as part of the push to phase out gas and diesel engines in favor of electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

As Citizen Watch Report recently noted:

California’s Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulations require manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty vehicles, including RVs, to achieve 35% sales of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). The problem? A ZEV-compatible RV chassis doesn’t yet exist. This rule forces dealerships to comply or risk losing the ability to sell motorhomes entirely.

That France mandatory food waste program got me thinking.

I have a friend who lives in (Large City), Kansas, USA who doesn’t recycle.

Not because she doesn’t care, or just wants to watch the world burn.

It’s because there IS NO curbside recycling program.

The only way households can recycle is if an entire city block agrees to purchase a blue dumpster, and then pay a weekly (exorbitant) fee to have a special truck come and haul their recycling to a separate facility.

That is horrifying! My friend was shocked when she and her SO moved out there, since they both grew up in Seattle area as well.

Of course no business/household can afford something like that, let alone get an entire city block to agree to fund a bin. So there is no recycling.

Again, it’s things like these ppl in the environmental movement need to remember.

Those ppl in Kansas aren’t choosing not to recycle because they’re malicious. It’s because there is no government program to help them. Even if they needed the funds up front, a solution could be to offer rebates to homes that recycle. That would help offset the cost, and would make recycling more appealing.

People like myself, who have ways to make their daily life low waste, are privileged.

What about people who HAVE to drink bottled water? What about people with allergies who CAN’T buy from bulk bins? What about people who NEED life saving drugs/medical devices? (I am one of those ppl, but I still consider myself low waste because how the drugs are packaged are out of my control)

These things are NO ONE’S fault. Never blame or judge anyone who has needs that do not have a low waste option!

Remember to check your privilege before trying to tell someone how to live their life.

[And this post isn’t even touching on how low income folks often can’t afford anything except prepackaged/fast food. Because I have no illusions that not everyone 1)has the time to go to a specialty store to buy in bulk, or 2)has the energy to meal prep or make everything from scratch. Some folks have multiple jobs, or families. So they need cheap food in large quantities. And sure, making stuff at home is cheaper per serving, but costs more in time and energy. I will NEVER think less of someone who can’t cook the way I can. And I will shame the hell out of anyone who tries to pass judgement on how others live*]

*this doesn’t include billionaires or private plane having dickheads who are adding to the climate crisis. I’m talking about the normal, everyday people who individually cannot make any changes that’ll impact climate change in a positive way. This is why we need legislation.

Study: Cost of ‘fueling’ an electric vehicle is equivalent to $17.33 per gallon

By Kenneth Schrupp | The Center Square

(The Center Square) – The complete costs of "fueling" an electric vehicle for 10 years are $17.33 per equivalent gallon of gasoline, a new analysis from the Texas Public Policy Foundation says.

The study authors say the $1.21 cost-per-gallon equivalent of charging a car cited by EV advocates excludes the real costs born by taxpayers for subsidies, utility ratepayers for energy investments, and non-electric vehicle owners for mandate-and-environmental-credit-driven higher vehicle costs, which they say total $48,698 per EV. Those costs must be included when comparing fueling costs of EVs and traditional gas-powered vehicles, TPPF maintains.

“The market would be driving towards hybrids if not for this market manipulation from the federal government. We’d be reducing emissions and improving fuel economy at the same time on a much greater scale,” study author Jason Isaac told The Center Square in an interview. He then cited Toyota estimates that the batteries from one EV can power 90 hybrids and reduce emissions 37 times more than that one EV. 

The study adds up the costs of direct subsidies to buyers of the car and chargers; indirect subsidies in the form of avoided fuel taxes and fees, as well as electric grid generation, transmission, distribution, and overhead costs for utilities; and regulatory mandates that include fuel economy standards, EPA greenhouse gas credits, and zero-emission mandates.

The study also assumes EVs will be driven for 10 years and 120,000 miles, which the authors claim is a generous estimate. According to J.D. Power, EVs lose 2.3% of their range each year due to battery degradation, in part driving EVs to lose value faster than internal combustion cars.

With Ford losing an estimated $70,000 per EV and subsidies reaching $50,000 per EV, Isaac says the real cost of a vehicle such as a Ford Lightning is over $150,000, and those costs are carried by everyone, including non-EV owners and even Americans without cars. 

“The real cost of a Ford Lightning is closer to $172,00 and no one would buy them at that. I know their sales have tanked. The [electric] Silverado sold 18 electric trucks last quarter,” Isaac said. “Buying a car is more expensive today and people don’t understand why that is. I’m trying to help them understand if they buy a gas or diesel car they’re paying for an electric vehicle for a wealthy EV owner.” 

To reach the $17.73 per gallon equivalent figure, the authors created categories for costs borne by EV owners, taxpayers, utility ratepayers, and buyers of electric vehicles. For reference, the cost per gallon equivalent is computed by dividing the number of miles over a car’s ten year lifetime by the average new vehicle's fuel efficiency of 36 miles per gallon equivalent, and using that number to divide the total cost presented. 

EV owners only pay $1.21 for the cost of residential electricity and $1.38 for charging and metering costs per equivalent gallon, which makes charging still cheaper than gasoline in terms of costs paid by EV owners. However, taxpayers pay $2.72 per gallon in federal and state EV buyer tax credits and rebates ($8,984 over a vehicle lifetime), a cost of $0.40 per gallon ($1,318 over a vehicle lifetime) in avoided charging infrastructure costs split between taxpayers and utility ratepayers. Utility ratepayers then pay $3.18 per gallon ($10,515 over a vehicle lifetime) in increased costs to enable the grid to charge electric vehicles at mass scale through increased power generation, transmission and distribution. Lastly, buyers of non-electric vehicles face increased vehicle costs equating to $1.48 per gallon equivalent ($4,881 over a vehicle lifetime) due to requirements in many states that manufacturers sell a certain number of often money-losing EVs to continue selling other cars, $1.01 per gallon equivalent ($3,322 over a vehicle lifetime) due to EPA GHG emissions standards, while Corporate Average Fuel Economy Credits add a whopping $5.96 per gallon equivalent ($19,678 over a vehicle lifetime). 

CAFE standards are the single largest externalized cost of EVs, a cost that researchers attribute to the fact that automakers whose fleets do not meet the necessary average fuel economy must purchase credits from automakers with excess credits, with these credit markets worth billions of dollars per year and contributing $1.78 billion to Tesla’s bottom line in 2022. The average fuel economy of an average EV with a 300 mile range in 2021 was estimated to be 113 miles per gallon equivalent, making automakers strongly incentivized to build these often money-losing cars to meet CAFE goals. To increase the adoption of cars that don’t use diesel or gasoline, the federal government created a 667% multiplier in MPGe for vehicles that use alternative power. With a fleetwide CAFE standard of 37 MPG for 2021 and a 2021 EV rated at 113 MPGE, an EV is worth 507 MPG worth of credits, or more than what Ford loses directly on its EVs.

Ford is paying dealers $20K+ to order 2024 F-150 Lightning trucks

https://www.autoblog.com/news/ford-is-paying-dealers-20k-to-order-2024-f-150-lightning-trucks

Ford dealers cashing in on electric F-150s — here's how they're making $20K+.

A mysterious "cooling EV sentiment" has affected nearly every automaker, and even Ford’s once white-hot electric pickup truck may be starting to feel the burn. As dealers struggle to sell remaining 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning models, Ford is inventing new ways to move metal. One way is by introducing Retail Replenishment Centers (RRCs), locations dedicated to holding inventory to manage flooring costs and space for dealers. Ford is enticing dealers to “buy now,” and dealerships can earn up to $22,500 per month by ordering trucks from the RRC.

Ford hopes to move more electric trucks with dramatic dealer incentives

According to a new memo circulating the web, Ford is offering dealers up to $1,000 per unit when they restock their Lightning inventory via the RRC. But, that figure creeps up to $1,500 each when the dealer orders nine or more units – up to a maximum of 15. Since Ford has offered to pay retroactively to the first unit, that means a total of $22,500 is sitting on the table.

The program will run from October 15until November 15 of this year, and Ford says it’s a win-win situation. Dealers can save space while still offering shoppers the same or more flexibility in the model they choose. It could backfire; some dealerships may take advantage of the rebate only to find that it simply doesn’t make sense to normally have the Lightning in stock. That could diminish choices for shoppers – and competition for Lightning-stocked Ford dealers.

Some of the scripts we're sent feel like rejected Trump campaign rally notes. I won't list the particulars or the client, but some things just do not mix, when you're putting together a sales pitch:

1% rebate on the APR. Whoop-dee-doo, every dealership in the tri-Province area does the exact same thing.

12K$ in rebate off of the signature EV - in a script that's circulating in Flatbed Truck Country. It's going about as well as you'd think.

Huzzah! Some of these EVs are available in the local distro centers! Awesome, except this is Flatbed Truck Country.

The short of it is I'm convinced some campaign heads for a few major automakers in Canada are actually suffering from Acute Executive-itis, which is what happens when you don't touch grass in a long while.
