Because the pickup truck is so popular, and because its mpg is so bad, a few years ago I called the electrification of the pickup truck one of the most important advances in transportation decarbonization. That’s necessary but not sufficient, here’s the rest: 🔌💡 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Tax heavy cars and shrink batteries to consolidate the gains from electrifying transport.

The assumption that *how* you got your results is secondary in importance, or that everyone kinda already knows enough about your field to follow along, is pathological. And it's probably even worse now in the current state of science/publishing than it was when this practice first started.
