California's electric car screw upStephen Green: It’s been a while in coming, but California will officially mandate electric cars no later than 2035. No new gas or diesel-powered vehicles will be sold or licensed there barely more than 12 years from now. Last year, electric vehicle sales represented less than 10% of the approximately 1.8 million new cars sold in the Brownout State. Only 607,600 electric vehicles were produced in the U.S. last year. Assuming nothing radical changes, between now and 2035, California buyers alone will require three times as many EVs as were produced in 2021. Or people will hang o... read more

The most common bias is to count covid deaths that occur in the period immediately after vaccination as deaths in the unvaccinated, or, say, deaths after fourth dose as occurring in the triple dosed. In order to sense check the accuracy of the 80% protected claim, real world data across the population can be compared. read more
