If this is "playing his hand", then he's dumber than I give him credit for.

From what I've read, there seems to be a ton of negative info in the Mueller report.

I still contend that trump is in way over his head.  He's never fit in the office of president.  Look at his twitter feed.  It's laughable.

Nothing you can post will ever change my mind.

Not just that, but wind farms, solar farms, tidal generators and invest in battery tech.

None of those will add up to much and pouring more time and money will do nothing but distract from the only thing that will make a significant impact. Probably 10 or 11 years ago when I was at a carbon fiber company, I had several customers in the energy storage field. The needle has barely moved in the amount of energy that can be successfully stored since then. We may have already hit the law of diminishing returns on battery technology. All we can do now is incremental improvements but nothing that's going to be a game changer. Its like fuel cells. Remember them? We've just about maxed out their capabilities.

Yep - and the same holds true for you.

So, have you seen what Musk did for New Zealand?  I think you may want to look into that before you make the statement that battery tech has gone nowhere.

My point exactly. It's always a promise. We're just always one step from a technical breakthrough. but there are some technologies that are maxed out. I'll wait for Musk to come up with something but I'm not banking on it.

Would that be his selling .17% of his cars, compared to petrol cars sold in the same time ?

Would that be, his marketing skills, which dovetailed with people that believe that the 'electric' that powers their 200,000.00 car, 'just happens'.

(Probably not a lot of those people around)

Or is that, where ALL the Scientists say, Mars can not be reformed to Earth like climate, with current knowledge.
Yet Musk says it can.

Would you be saying, Musk is correct,
and the, 'Scientists', are wrong ?

 Tesla's battery farm supplies about 30,000 people in southern Australia

LOLOL, 'the big battery' ?
Yea, compared to a 1.5v AA, it's big.
Not much else.
And again, it, 'Just Happened' ?

I guess all the, 'carbon' things that are required, don't count.
Just like Ethanol Gas, is the same as walking into a bank,
giving them a $1.00 bill, and getting .73 change.

For the PIABP, (Panty In A Bunch People),
Yes, alternative energy is needed.
It needs to be researched/refined, and actually, BE, 'energy effective'.
Until, solar/wind/hydro/geothermal/hydrogen/fuel cells/etc are researched enough,
to be ACTUALLY energy effective'.

Stop putting huge gobs of money,
in the likes of gores pocket.
