Why aren't full hybrid truks a thing? Seems way more practical. Low emissons and the convieniece of regular fuel

Hybrids make the most sense for passenger cars and light trucks but they don’t create hype for companies and politicians like pure EVs.

They make the most sense for locomotives as well, which is why all trains have giant diesels making electricity for their traction motors these days

I'd imagine a lot of it has to do with current battery tech. The fuel would be doing the vast majority of the heavy lifting so it doesn't make economical sense to toss a bunch of heavy battery cells on it (at the current moment, we're probably pretty close though) to do what might amount to 5-10% of the overall work. The weight of the battery cells is really only overcome if the batteries are doing the majority of the chugging. Otherwise you're just burning more fuel to push heavy batteries around, expending more energy than they're making up for
Totally spitballing though, but I'd imagine the economics of it just aren't there yet for the most part. This is why electric planes aren't economical yet at least
It might also have to do with current regulations on weight of the trucks. The battery cells make you heavier in the weigh station, meaning less cargo weight available. If you're gonna be using fuel you might as well just use it 100% I guess?

It looks like the explanation is right there in the thread. The comic is a parody of stereotypical “coming out” scenarios represented in media. It psychologically primes people for the acceptance of such behaviors (both in the real world sense–that of being gay–and in the contextual sense–that of being a demon designed solely to kill everyone). Indeed, I’m curious why you’re not “outraged” about the comic itself equating gays to murderous traitors. Instead you’re upset about someone CALLING OUT this comic for its psychological propaganda. Indeed, not even that. You’re upset about the no-no word he used in doing so!
Are your feelings hurt by seeing a no-no word? What exactly is your problem with the post itself? List, specifically, what your problem is with the post. Is it really just the no-no word? Why should anyone care about your feelings when you’re defending the institutional r*pe of children and the social spread of incurable diseases?
Why are you incapable of defending your ideological beliefs using objective scientific data? Not just in the contextual sense, but in the broader sense of why you seem to want to censor people for saying truth when it hurts your feelings.
