    I remember when I was at uni being taught about technological leapfrogging. Poorer nations would often start adopting newer technologies rather than bothering with the stages that the rich nations had gone through, meaning lots of the time their tech usage was more modern in many ways and it really helped their economic development.

    I wonder why I was suddenly thinking about that…

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they started tearing out EV stations while simultaneously bitching about gas prices.

        Might be just as well, as the MAGAts seem to be pro-coal—and thus better/less bad fossil fuels that are less carbon-based than coal, I suppose.
