The Constitution isn't "broken". It is a set of rules that certain people/groups in our society no longer wish to follow because it gets in the way of their quest for money, power and control of the citizens.
It has worked just fine for 150+ years.

You just described my definition of broken. And I don't consider it a singular time & event issue.

I read an article this morning about a plane which could run on the friction energy of flight. Just needed batteries for take off and landing and should be able to recharge the batteries while in flight. https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/363021 No idea how quickly (if ever) it will get into mass production. If workable, I wonder if the process could be used on cars too?

While the nanogenerator itself isn't BS, it seems like the general concepts violate the law of thermodynamics. If it runs on friction, then it runs on heat. That's what friction generates. But converting heat to pretty much any other kind of energy(mechanical, electrical, etc.) can't be very efficient due to thermodynamic laws. So at best, you recover a bit of loss from that friction and turn it into useful electrical energy, but you won't be able to sustain the cruising from just that. There are lots of environmentalist ideas that sound good on paper but just end up as intentional or unintentional fraud. Not everyone has a basic understanding of thermodynamics or engineering, or we won't have stupid ideas like solar roadways or the Hyperloop.

Emblem is just kinda meh to me. Could be better could be worse. I'm just hoping they keep the Camaro alive even if it has to have some sort of electrification added to it.

Fraxum seems to think a forum full of V8 powered muscle car owners are going to happily tap dance to his utopian future of electric bliss while we stop on the way for a Prius

It isn't just the "cards dealt" to GM.
Barra and Reuss ran to the whitehouse back in '16 to get Trump to mandate evs. They want to burn down their ice past for what they think is a profitable ev future. |

Anyone still remember when this used to be on every seat belt button?
