The net-zero brigade in bambuworld seem hellbent on 'going up' not 'out' [building hi-rise apartment blocks by the *millions*, and not developing land and building homes.]
Underneath these apartment blocks full of people they want everyone to have an electric car and charge them there.
Charming.
Ahem, electric car fires anyone?
Barbecued apartment dwellers anyone?
Green realists are already warning green dreamers that it's a very bad idea, given the propensity of electric car batteries to explode in flames.
Electric car batteries, electric bike batteries, electric scooter batteries...look at all those fires.
One such electric car battery exploded while charging in a home garage in America, blew the garage door off its *hinges* and down the driveway. [Colorado?]
The door hit a fireman on the head, luckily he was wearing a helmet.
That is how Empire West is in West Hollywood, 19 stories straight up with a club house and a swimming pool on the roof, with 4 stories underground for parking. Empire West is where all of the stars live who need security guards and door men and valets, etc. Many of the women at Empire West have stalkers, etc. Empire West is a good, safe spot for the stars, like for Shakira, and for Margot Robbie, etc.
For nice housing, I kind of like the housing at Santorini, Greece, and there can be swimming pools and tennis courts, and that is what I would suggest for Battle Mountain, Nevada, they should bring in the Greek architects when they build, and they can have an island atmosphere out in the middle of Nevada. With libraries, etc. And an amphitheater where they can have shows, etc, like in Greece.
Anaheim is going to be rolling in the money, Disney is spending a lot of money here, and Newsom is giving tax breaks for producers to film, and money is being invested in Hollywood Blvd, good things are happening in California, and Mayor Bass is doing a great job, etc.
And we need more subways, and high speed trains. For Battle Mountain, Nevada, they have a Greyhound Bus Station so people can get there by Bus, and they have an Airport, and the Union Pacific Railroad runs through Battle Mountain.
And of course cheap sober living houses are needed, and cheap hostels where people can get a cheap shower and a bed. In Battle Mountain, Nevada, they had a nice tavern with rooms for rent above the tavern for $100 per month, which would be great for a Veteran, or for someone who wants to go explore Battle Mountain.
Salute,
