We're number - 2. OK OK - not too shabby.
But wait; these rankings are a little fudged, cuz if this was a tournament (and make no mistake here - it is a tournament), we'd be listed as 3rd place. Again tho', not bad from the standpoint of total energy produced. This is a big-assed joint that needs and produces big-ass bunches of energy, but in terms of the percentage of the total energy produced, we're #111.
So - fuck; again!?!
There are 17 countries in the world getting more than 90% of their energy from renewable sources.
Somebody please explain to me how it seems Burundi knows a little somethin' that we just can't quite figure out.
What is it about Tajikistan? Kyrgyzstan? And the Congo for fuck sake!?! You're telling me they have their shit together enough to meet 100% of their energy needs without fossil fuels and we're just standin' around with our thumbs up our butts?
Yeah, yeah - OK. Factor out all the cars and you get a different thing altogether - or do ya? One more thing to chew on here: a British company owns the world's Land Speed Record for an Electric Car - as reported in Auto Week.
The Brits. Makers of some of the shittiest cars on the planet for 70 years. That's who owns the single most important world record for going fast in a car right now. Once upon a time, if you wanted to go fast in a car, you just called Richard and Kyle Petty down in Carolina, or the Unsers, or just about anybody in the US with a shade tree in their backyard and a little extra time this summer.
But we choose to be Number One Hundred-and-Eleven. We are so fucked.

The Drayson Racing Technologies Lola B12/69 EV electric race car hit a top speed of 204.2 mph at a racetrack at RAF Elvington in Yorkshire, England, smashing the previous record of 175 mph set by Battery Box General Electric in 1974. Fittingly, Lord Paul Drayson was behind the wheel.
