You forgot vehicle makers, the notorious oil puppets...

I've been rooting for EVs since the early seventies and I still can't buy one here.

Oh why did I just say that! Itll get me angryer again...
I have been strongly contemplating buying a reservation for a Nissan Leaf. However, I can't find anything about the expected availability date.

I planned to keep my current car for 10 years and then ensure my next vehicle uses or supports an alternative fuel.

I don't know if I like that idea or not. When I see how strongly some Big Oil and Coal companies fight against any regulations that would benefit the environment, and how easily they are able to use their propaganda machine to enlist people into their cause to their own detriment; the idea of humanity's certain destruction is sometimes all that give me hope for the future of the Cosmos!
Wait... are you saying you want the planet made uninhabitable for humans?

As I said, I think if the "green" campaign is Save the Human Race it is dying... more people would be compelled to care. Right now most people think it is about polar bears and losing Florida so they don't much care.

According to Schott's Original Miscellany, bra size is determined measuring the extent of the torso just under the breasts and adding 5 or 4 if it comes odd or even. (Smart, so the result will be even, always). Therefore 32" + 4 gives 36. A remarkable L. The cup size, DD, represents the volume of the cup.

I thought the cup size was determined by the different of the measurement just under the breasts and the measurement taken at the nipple level.

Of course, you could just wing it I guess.
