I generally don't pay much attention to folks like Arkmundi anymore. They are so far out in left field that there is actually no way to have a conversation with him. He is amusing though, but in the way that it is amusing to watch stupid people do stupid things on Youtube.
As far as the speech was concerned, my main question was who is this "we" that he keeps talking about. What he was really saying is: "Let's get the government to steal money from people and give it to me."
I just generally don't like people like that. I don't think the Government should give money to Solar and Wind and I also don't think the government should give it to Big oil, Big Pharma, big Sugar, etc. etc. etc. Just imagine if all that money was in the pockets of individuals. That would increase buying power and then if someone wanted solar, they might be able afford it on their own. I have stated many times that if I had a decent southern and western exposure on my house, I would definitely have solar.
When I said that the CEO did not get into specifics, I meant that he did not do any cost analysis in his speech.
How much does it cost to build one of those charging stations over 6 or 8 parking spaces?
How much does he have to charge for an EV to power up?
What are some of the other costs involved?
How long will it take to pay off building one.
What are the economies of scale?
How are you going to deal with pissed of drivers that can't afford an electric car and now have no where to park?
Obviously, there are not enough electric vehicles to support this so how do you start and what is the timeline for you to Ramp up?
These are very rudimentary questions for a business person. Business people are not stupid and he did not "forget" to include this information. The reason that it was not included in the speech is that it was not favorable and he did not have answers to those questions that would paint his ideas in a positive light.
When he showed the aerial photo of the stadium, it was quite dramatic. But, does he not know that that is private property? So does he imply that the Government should force the private owners of that property to do his bidding? The bottom line is that nothing that was said in the video is new. Those solar charging stations in parking lots can be built already. But other business men have already considered these applications and answered those questions above. The general conclusion is that it simply is not worth it at this point in time. I hope that in the future, costs come down to the point where it is viable.
So, when Armundi talks about my reality not being everyone's reality, there may be some truth to it. However, If you google arkmundi you will quickly see by his participation in childish sites like the Game of Thrones wiki that he is generally averse to any "reality" and would just rather partake of a fantasy.
