Some 50+ years ago taught while grad school at the University of Kansas, the university required sophomores to learn about the classics, books both from the Greek and Roman literature to the present. Every student had to write their own one-page essay about that week's author, and they had special quizzes were randomly generated from the literature to avoid cheating. Why did I do that? Well, those sophomores had to write essays for the final.

The sun, water, and air give life as we know it. My family knew oil and gas decreases over time, called depletion. Some of the first automobiles made were electric. The technology of batteries were not as sophisticated as today. We charge our electric cars by solar panels on our business and home, as early adopters. Our first electric car (a Nissan Leaf) had a range of 100 miles, enough for going to work and errands for a decade with little repairs.

Senator Wacky Wadsack (aka, Train-wreck), Arizona does not need a self-indulgent, whiny legislator engaging teenage-age drag race at 70 mph at night. She needs to pay the fine. She was not of state business. As for electric charge, we've had electric cars since 2010. As a scientist, speeding faster would drain the battery faster. Sticking to the posted speed would have gotten her home with reserve.
