I can't wait to see what Trump tweets about this. I will probably be waiting a really long time.

At the risk of losing friends here, I second what SDR said. I have no love for the Saudis but Canada under Trudeau has turned a blind eye to practically everything done by ISIS, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, on and on and on. But when Saudis threaten a Canadian citizen, or the wife of a Canadian citizen, THAT gets their condemnation alright. Trudeau should stand-up for his citizens along with everybody else threatened by Tyrants anywhere as we all should. Be consistent or be quiet. My 2 cents.

TR, am I correct in that the biggest thing holding back electric vehicles is not being able to charge them wireless while driving.

Not sure why they haven't addressed this issue in part through solar energy?

A typical solar installation residential is about 5 kilowatts and is based on the nominal output of the individual solar panels.

A small car uses an AC motor that pulls 43KW peak, 14KW continuous from your electric car's batteries.
A large car uses an AC motor which pulls 78KW peak, 34KW continuous.   

E.g. the Nissan LEAF had an 80kW motor.

I guess this means even a residential installation can't provide the energy for an electric car and why participants of the Solar Race look like this :



The solution will be batteries with higher capacity and fast reloading times.

Dozens of Yemeni civilians, most of them children, were killed Thursday when an airstrike by U.S.-backed Saudi Arabian fores hit a bus in the rebel-held city of Dahyan, according to sources from the International Red Cross cited by The Guardian.

More than 10,000 people have been killed during the three-year conflict, which has left millions of Yemenis on the brink of starvation as Saudi forces have imposed a strict blockade on key ports for food.

You no doubt prefer to support the Houthi rebels who are backed by Iran and Hezbollah, and who launch missiles into the middle of Saudi cities. I didn't see you posting anything about that.

The Saudi's ordered all students studying in Canada to return home.  The Saudi's have a big government program to pay for college abroad.

The Saudi's also banned grain imports from Canada.  This has a trivial impact, except for barley.  The Saudi's buy 7% of Canadian barley exports.

Most countries in the region are not OK but claiming Iran is the enemy and ignoring all the Saudis are doing (e.g. funding Salafism in Europe) is not correct.

I don't support any rebel group but the 3 million who are starving can't all be rebels and still the Saudis block all foreign aid.

there is already a chemical battery with high capacity and good energy per kg ratio and ultra fast reloading times
the battery is called "fuel" and the reloading is called "filling up"  ;D

you only have to produce the fuel with solar energy and with CO2 taken out of the atmosphere
ethanol from plants/bacteria for example
but i would not be astonished if there is already a 'reactor' invented which can transforms CO2 gas and water directly into ethanol given enuf electrical energy and some rare special catalysts materials  ...problem is such a droplet of fuel costs way to much atm

I don't ignore the Saudis and I have always found the close US diplomatic relationship with the Kingdom of Saud troubling. Still, you always find a way to make it seem as if the US (or at least Donald Trump) is responsible for all of the world's ills. Just give it a rest.

The biggest impact will be in our health care. The Saudis send hundreds of people to Canada to train up as doctors. So with this move, our system will lose a fair number of interns and resident doctors (who practice medicine under supervision until they become full blown doctors).
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Another one on the plus side is that all the eco-loons will lose face as they opposed the pipeline that would take oil from western Canada to refineries in the east.
