Lifetime carbon emissions of electric vehicles vs gasoline cars - 2 views

  •  
    The author details the lifetime carbon footprint of common combustion vehicles and compares them to the carbon footprint of popular electric cars, Teslas. In the analysis, the author reveals how many miles one has to drive in an electric car in order for the electric car to have a smaller carbon footprint than the gas one. His work seems thorough, but he does not list the sources where he got his starting numbers, and he had to have used averages because its hard to quantify the carbon footprint of a single car when they are usually mass produced in groups.

Tesla Model 3 unplugged by "concerned resident" over fears of battery "blow up" - 1 views

  •  
    This article is written by an independent journalist who is clearly biased towards supporting the company Tesla. The author writes a scathing critique of someone who unplugged another person's Tesla out of fear of a battery fire or explosion. While the author does have data to back his claims and his critique seems to be well placed, readers should be wary of his flippant attitude concerning the overcharging of electric vehicles.

      There seem to be well meaning Drug Rehab facilities but it looks like the one advertised here is all the way in Florida. That is not very accessible to most people. This does suggest that there might be an economic barrier to Drug Rehab quality.
  •  
    The author of the article gives information about recent Drug abuse statistics and infographics on the trends in Arizona. The author also advertises the company Lakeview Health. While the article seems to be getting its statistics from credible sources like the CDC, its comments on how it can help people in Arizona with Drug abuse should be taken with a grain of salt because of its relation with a company bound to look for customers. (The Rehab Center is all the way in Florida).
