I'd estimate you'd need around a week of sunny days to have any range for that bike out of that size of solar panel.

grok 2 vs grok 3
Grok 2's conclusion: Climate change is not a distant threat—it is happening now, and its impacts are intensifying. It threatens human health, economies, ecosystems, and global stability. While the challenge is immense, solutions exist, and immediate action can still make a difference. Governments, businesses, and individuals must act urgently to reduce emissions, adapt to changes, and build a sustainable future. The cost of inaction far outweighs the cost of action, and the time to act is now. conclusion: So, urgent threat? If you buy the consensus, yes-time's ticking, and impacts are already here. If you're skeptical, it's more of a manageable shift we're overreacting to. Data's there on both sides; it's about what risks you're willing to bet on. What do you think?

Michael Prescott, who refused to answer all media questions until his DCMS appearance, spent 90 minutes in front of the committee – and wasn't asked *once* about his own report misquoting Donald Trump. What a farce.
