LOL - sounds like some of my meetings at work, but I still go. When neither action is going to get the results you want which is the better approach, still show up and try or go home?
It has to be INCREDIBLY frustrating to put in that work, I get that, and then have that work go nowhere, also...
I don't have a much to share on the departure of these organizations but I would recommend that it's better to be in the room where decisions are made than be outside of the room, with no voice, complaining about the decisions being made. Ironically I was reviewing these organizations last week...

On your second point, I would like to know what energy company is committing to maintaining their oil and...
I can do that for you...
I am using 250 watt/hours per mile, on average. That means I use 250 kWh for your 1000 miles. According to Xcel energy that would add up to 256.75 pounds of CO2 on their current supply sources.
Taking a 2019 Honda Civic (same year, efficient car) that gets 42 mpg on...
Yeah - you're right. This is hitting near the limit of my knowledge but there are options beyond just that. Keeping the utilization local may prevent the need of a transformer if the invertor matches the destination voltage (or I am way off, LOL).
