It was Nikola Tesla who first noticed that a current flowing in a wire would induce a current to flow in a nearby conductor. 130 years later, this is the way we charge our electric toothbrushes. But will this transfer to the arena of electric vehicles?
I doubt it.
The challenge that the proponents of inductive EV charging face is that the world is steadily replacing gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks with EV that are physically plugged in when not in use.
If I were betting, I would say that inductive charging is appropriate only to vehicles like shuttle buses that make stops at well-defined places.

Trump Digs Coal
From “The Other 98”
Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.
Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.
Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?
Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.

The Sickening Decline of American Education
Baby boomers remember shows like Bugs Bunny and Rocky and Bullwinkle, and lament that quality television for young no longer exists.
Appreciation for shows like these require a basic level of understanding of music, art, and above all, history.

Why Are the People in Our Most Expensive Cities Largely Democrats
From the list at left, I wonder why most of these cities are bright blue.
I’m going to guess that life in these places requires affluence, and affluence generally derives from good education, good breeding, good manners, and tolerance for other people.
Santa Barbara is too small (population 89K) to make the list, but it’s incredibly pricey, and it’s next to impossible to find a Trump supporter there.
