Re: how realistic are the prices on boat classified sites?

In the US, sailboats in the 40-50' range are selling at about 95% of the asking price. It's easy to track how long they've been on the market but harder to track price reductions.

Re: Inboard engines and a changing world

I agree. The US grid, often referred to as the most critical infrastructure in the world, is extensive but brittle. A shift from internal combustion to all electric is a fantasy. Half of the electric...

Re: Electric Car Economics

Guess again. I mentioned the total energy it takes to produce, run, and dispose a car. Not just carbon emissions but the cradle-to-grave cost to society. In the big picture, it's most efficient to...
