Maybe! Pretty much everyone is set on early 2030s for commercial power plants. So maybe 8 years from now is the new 25 years from now.

My source is David Kirtley and he said they had turned the machine on but didn’t elaborate.

Agreed. I wasn’t saying climate tech is done, just on the path of a rebrand.

Congrats! I'm lucky to have gone through the program under your tenure. Enjoy your well deserved retirement!

I've owned two PHEVs (technically, the i3 was an extended-range EV in CARB-speak, but basically the same). Sold them both for EVs and not looking back.

Don't get me wrong, PHEVs are a nice stopgap for drivers committed to charging who want an EV most of the time but can't rely on charging infrastructure everywhere they go. But that's a really thin slice of the pie, and I doubt it'll get any bigger in the coming years.

Customers will soon realize that PHEVs mean two different drive systems, which means double the recalls and twice as many things that can go wrong! (Ask me how I know.)
