Biden Administration Tightens Mileage Standards to Buoy E.V.s | The new rule requires automakers to achieve an average of 65 miles per gallon across all models by 2031. ( www.nytimes.com )

The new standards require American automakers to increase fuel economy so that, across their product lines, their passenger vehicles would average 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles today. The average mileage for light trucks, including pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, would have to reach 45 miles per...

In many different areas. This is the per year registration fees in Ohio. https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/431da275-e50f-4bd7-9d11-3276196b1b70.jpeg These fees are meant to compensate for road damage, which is calculated based on vehicle weight. Except Ohio just said “well batteries are heavy, charge them.”

A lifted diesel super duty getting 12mpg will run you 0 dollars and 0 cents whereas even a plug in hybrid runs 150$ per year. Completely independent from the weight of the vehicle.

Biden can do what he wants but conservative states will constantly delay the transition to EVs, slowing adoption, infrastructure and the publics willingness at every opportunity.

I’m so happy my 4000 miles last year cost me upfront half of what they pay gradually over a year. And yet the roads are still mediocre.

If anybody reading this is voting against Biden because of Palestine (effectively a vote for trump under fptp) these are trumps #1 fans and bill payers

Pro trump is not pro Palestine.

I missed most of it. I was busy in Kvatch all day. It’s a shame, I really could have used that speedwalking class

You can, you’ll just have to come pile it up

I would urge the email protocol makers to stop the rampant corporate tracking. Basically every email sender gets your location, ip, and other info when you open it.

I’d bet facebook has a team of marketers working tirelessly to grow their fedi market share so that less informed people think of the fediverse as just a part of threads. They started their own free ISP and half the people that used it ended up thinking Facebook dot com was all there is to the internet. They’ve decided to ruin the fediverse next because by federating, they can see a ton of info about you/your account by default.

I think the FTC should do its fucking job, but until then people should stop these huge companies from getting exactly what they want as much as possible. I see no benefit, but a major threat from a company that spies and creates hordes of ill informed users. Literally they are in the news right now for man in the middling Snapchat data. You think they won’t/haven’t started that kind of thing for fedi? They can’t train their LLMs off Snapchat half as easy as they can here.

Acknowledgment of reality is leagues beyond what 95% of the gop is capable of.

One party in particular benefits more from making those non issues into dog and pony shows. The bullshit asymmetry principle.

Sorry, we can’t enforce any insurrection charges. Ohios AG Dave Yost is too busy restarting the death penalty and going after 10 year olds for getting abortions.

Trump and his base already conflate his many court cases catching up to him as the DOJ sent to stop a political rival. If Biden just pardoned the person who “stole” Trumps taxes, we’d hear about it nonstop til November.

The guy chose to commit the crime. The republicans are looking for anything that sticks in their idiot bases brain and “Biden chooses to pardon anti trump criminal” will be on the fox or oan scroll until it’s burned into their eyes. Pardoning is Biden’s option, but if he does, that helps trump with his base in a tight race. Obviously he wouldn’t pardon.
