Alternative energy sources.

@bigpearlI bet you own Chinese products and components, why because these days they are good and cost comparable or better than other countries can supply. They offer cost competitive alternatives in most fields of commerce. Reject as much as you like that's a choice.I would not have a Chinese product given to me. Poor quality. Gimmick designs & features . Unreliable products. At least to date.Wherever I can I buy premium products that have a proven heritage. German durable goods British Hi-Fi . Italian & British apparel , American IT. ( made by Foxconn in China but under strict quality control conditions. )Admiittedly some components in western products will be from China. The new Chinese EV’s look impressive but I’m happy to wait for the new Mercedes models that will come to market in due course. Often Steve the tortoise beats the hare.. - @Lotus Eater

Some UK hifi is still reasonable,  but the Japanese stuff beats it hands down.  Denon are probably the best for general range over the whole audio spectrum, especially when paired with British B&W loudspeaker.

Where is the US in this? Nowhere, of course.

My point being Trevor is that with an AV you both get to enjoy the stunning views you alluded to. 🙄

LOL. What will the cost be to get an AV to Death Valley even if it can get there autonomously. This is the Philippines not London or New York. Will be a dozen or more years before we see that in and around Manila. In the interim belching jeeps and buses will rule the roads while the EV market will continue to grow as people wake up. A third world country but not silly.

Cheers, Steve.
