I met a good chunk of Europeans and Aussies while thru hiking on the AT a few years ago.

All of those folks did not have full accommodations booked in advance, that would have been impossible. They seemed to find that pretty normal and were not turned away.

I've seen several so far. I'm surprised I haven't seen much coverage of previous protests besides just a passing phrase.

...anyone seen national news coverage of this yet?

Local news in MA is covering it.

1000 people surveyed.

This a meaningless number of both gen z and zoomers?

I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.

I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.

We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I'm hoping it will pay for itself.

Ehhh he's fairly spot on. When I didn't have insurance I had to go to the ER or try to find a doc that would write a prescription "under the table" - which never went well. No urgent care would see me.

Now that I have insurance I've only been to the ER for a real emergency once.

Still going to the ER with insurance wiped out my savings though, so I don't really see all that much difference.

Well Ive not quite made it to 100000mi on the odometer. It's likely I'll be able to take it to 200000 with the same sort of range I have now... So that's about 10-12 years of life for me without a worry. Maybe it goes more, maybe I get in an accident before 2029 (10years of use and I'll be around 150000mi or less).

Ive heard people are scared of the batteries. But that fear doesn't match what I've experienced. I had a recall on mine that was not big deal. it's really not as concerning as it's made out to be. I'm mostly hoping there's a better recycling system in place when I do actually need a new battery, just show I know the old one is taken care of properly. But likely the rest of the car will wear out first.

Ps I don't drive much during the week, longer weekend drives, and then long drives a few times a year.
