#1 ; MAKE ALL PLUGINS A STANDARD. FULL FN STOP

#2 ; PROVIDE A RECEIPT OF WHERE THAT POWER CAME FROM. FULL FN STOP

Where is that energy produced, what are the inputs? How much FN fuel was consumed to deliver that energy to the energy-plant which fed the port to which my e-car hooked up to, WHO TH HECK IS CALCULATING THIS DATA?



> Where is that energy produced, what are the inputs?

You'd pretty much just have to look up the averages for the grid in your area. The pixies on the wires get all mixed up in the big pipes, its not like the wires from the car just go straight to a single power plant.

> WHO TH HECK IS CALCULATING THIS DATA?

In the US, the EIA along with local state agencies and grid operators.

I love this phrase more than you can imagine.

WHERE THE HECK ARE ALL THESE ELECTRONS COMING FROM?????!!!!!

This isn’t really possible other than in a probabilistic sense, you can’t keep track of where particular electrons are in the grid.


You know whats really funny:'

In 2004 I was designing the data center for LucasFilm's CTO... CTO

And he asked me why I couldnt provide power-to-the-desktop via FIBER

In a really high profile mtg...

All I could do was look around the room from side-to-side....
