Many people wanted more free flowing just chatting content. Just a warning - some of you will HATE this format, and I fully understand. It's going to take me a while to get to points. I'm going to ramble and go on tangents. Some people have said they LOVE those videos, so this one is for them. If it bugs you too much, stay tuned for the next one, where we laser focus on the economics and data in part 2. For what it's worth, the sit down chat was 2.5 hours long. I edited out a lot of it in the end, because I felt that was just WAAAAY too long. I have a lot to say on this topic though (and all the other tangents I went on, like Magnetic Flux, Eddy currents in stator cores, hysterisis losses, etc.

Today, in part 1, I decided to do a chat on Electric Vehicles, because I now have 5 years of data driving my Tesla. That, plus being an engineer, plus being a permaculturist, means that I may have a unique take on EVs that many "Tesla youtubers" maybe wouldn't have. This should also be used hand in hand with the "misinformation in renewables" video just released, as it provides the data basis for many of my opinions on the sustainability side of things.

Lets get into all that, plus a tiiiiny bit of a carbon rant at the end. It's unfortunate that 2% of the people make so much noise, but now that literally every single oil company has accepted that climate change is a human made problem, and that they are the core of it (even though these campaigns are more advertising than action on their part), I don't think there's much excuse for anyone else still denying it. That, plus recent news of severe Greenland melting, the fact that it's 15 degrees in Toronto this week, and record temps set just about everywhere this year, I think we can start getting harder on people who still haven't gotten the memo yet. So I'm going to get into some engineering and climate science aspects of carbon, water melting, and some really nasty things call ... you know... feedback loops.

So if you want some general info on how my EV has performed in Canada, you want to hear some Musk/Carbon ranting, and maybe just want to learn more about me and my family, then this is the video for you. If that's not for you, well, we'll still have more epic food forest stuff in the spring, when this nature sanctuary food production system starts waking up!

One last thing, I know I said in a community post that we'd do the collapse video next. I've drafted it a few times, and redone it a few times. It's way too negative. And I think that's kind of the point. However, I want to provide hope, so I'm still working on more fine tuning of that video so that I don't cause too much existential dread and panic. It's important to wake up, but it's also important to act. So the next video will be the detailed economics of my EV, using my REAL information on how much we've saved, what the ROI is on it, and all the nitty gritty financial implications of the EV.

For today, lets just freeform chat a bit.
