How Amazon created Prime
Before having Prime membership I couldn't understand why next day shipping was such a big deal. We actually paid for the service to get access to Amazon's photo storage service so for us the “oh, by the way” was the shipping AND video aspect.

I expected this to be horrendous... I'll let you be the judge though.

How green is an electric car, really?
A question I've pondered myself and it turns out it's a bit of a myth.
As a happy bonus, because electricity supply is moving rapidly towards renewables, an EV bought today will be responsible for less and less CO2/km as it gets older.
Self-charging or plug-in hybrids should be the norm, not the exception. Any energy we reclaim or gain by not having to burn while on the move is a win win.
The ICTT says for a car in the UK, the lifetime CO2 emissions for an EV, including the global mining and manufacturing, and the electricity to run it, are half what they are from a conventional car.
By going from fossil fuel to electric, you half the emissions that the car is responsible for. It's a no brainer.
