CES Organizers Say Attendees Must Be Vaccinated

The Consumer Technology Association has announced that it will require all CES (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show) attendees to be vaccinated. Organizers have stated that everyone planning on going to the trade event will be required to “provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination” if they’ve any hope of being granted entry.

“Based on today’s science, we understand vaccines offer us the best hope for stopping the spread of COVID-19,” Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of CTA, explained. “We all play a part in ending the pandemic through encouraging vaccinations and implementing the right safety protocols. We are taking on our responsibility by requiring proof of vaccination to attend CES 2022 in Las Vegas.”

This is an example of the kind of work that's going on (paywalled story, but it's a good one): Opinion | A Gold Mine of Clean Energy May Be Hiding Under Our Feet - The New York Times (nytimes.com)Hydrogen has some major advantages over electricity to run vehicles, mainly a) quick refueling, and b) the distribution process would look a lot like the one for gasoline, in which a truck hauls the fuel to a fueling station and fills up the underground tanks. It's a lot easier, quicker, and cheaper to retrofit gas stations with hydrogen tanks than it is to completely redo the electric grid and establish hundreds of thousands - even millions - of charging points. If the extraction tech works, then I'd say hydrogen is actually a superior fuel for cars to electricity.

  • Wjtinfwb Great looking Supra, one of my all time favorites that "got away". In this era, I was driving a 280ZX which I really liked, but was more of a boulevardier than a sporting car. I looked at these Supra's from the '82 introduction but couldn't quite swing the price. Plus, I was sure the next Datsun Z would hit it out of the park. '84 came and Nissan gave us the disco 300ZX, which i disliked intensely. Supra's we're getting harder to find and more expensive as this generation wound down. Then, the howl of a small block Ford with a 4 barrel Holley caught my ear and I was sold. An '85 Mustang GT took the place a Supra should have occupied and that was it. The next gen Supra was, much like the 300ZX, more of a cruiser than the previous generation and more expensive. Several Mustang's and VR6 GTi's later I'm now back to looking for a Supra only to find out they're more expensive after almost 40 years than they were when new!
