I haven’t seen this and probably won’t at 1:40, but even as I write this I think that maybe I will

I did hear Rush on the car radio yesterday carrying on about this movie, though, making much of his observation that Moore hadn’t seemed to have recognized that his electric car was ultimately powered by fossil fuels, since that’s how electricity is generated.

He probably got that from me 😎 since I often point that out each time someone makes too much of electric cars.

I'm starting to come around, however, since my oldest son drives a hybrid electric/gas and it gets better than twice the gas mileage of my Honda CR-V.  Also, there are now several countries where most of their electricity is now made available from various combinations of hydro, thermal, wind and/or solar -- not oil and gas.

“Shouldn’t you be out chasing TSLA now?” I tweeted to the local stockbroker at a time where it was heading to the moon and I was searching for a playful put down of him for something he had said.

But he IS the local stockbroker, and he cannot appear to be flippant with other people’s money. He replied that chasing stocks is not his style.

It is my understanding that Microsoft was going to get into the environmentally friendly automobile business with a car powered by a small plutonium based nuclear reactor, which would heat water to make steam, which would power the car. Similar to how nuclear submarines are powered .... by steam. You would "fill up the tank", from your garden hose.

I just upgraded my Windows 7 laptop with a 2TB hard drive, it works perfectly after 11 years ... but I digress.

However, they scrapped that idea, because Microsoft's history, with the advent of Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.0, 8.1, and 10, it became clear that every other production turned out to be a bomb.
