So: If All US Vehicles Were Electric . . . Could We Charge Them?
Intro Last week, I wrote an article debunking the EPA’s blatantly misleading “108 MPG equivalent highway” claim for a particular electric vehicle, the 2020 Chevy Bolt. But part of a comment to that article made by longtime TAH reader rgr769 caught my eye – and made me wonder: . . . . If everyone in […]
Thursdays Are For Cooking… Beans!
I like bean soup a lot. There are so many ways to fix it, from using a variety of canned beans to soaking a bag of dry bean mixture overnight. In addition to bean soup, there are baked beans. The modern method is open a can (or soak the dry beans), make up the sauce […]

So, Really: Just How Much Fuel Do Electric Vehicles “Burn”?

Thursdays Are For Cooking
I still like the slow cooker/Crockpot because it’s “set it and forget it” until you catch the scent of properly cooked food floating through the air. And this one is perfect for summer because it takes very little work on your part. I’d let this baby simmer all day, especially if I’m going to be […]
