Not this year in CA. They were all inside getting an early start on developing their parents' neuroses.
I have no problem with electric cars, and while I don't own one, I think the technology is amazing and addresses a few issues with combustion engines. Going 0-60 in 3 seconds is pretty cool. There is a company in Carlsbad that converted an old VW Transporter to electric, I would
However, having our government telling everyone to go out and buy one is another example of the left's out of touch arrogance and elitism (like, "just go get a job building solar panels"). What percentage of our population can afford an electric car? Furthermore, these vehicles are meant to be charged overnight at home. If you own a home that's fine, but if your renting, how are you charging that car? Are we going to require landlords to install chargers for every tenant?
It's one thing to go to the gas station and fill up your car in a few minutes. It's another thing to go to a charging location and wait 1/2 an hour to recharge your car.
Electric will evolve and at some point we will have more electric than gas, but the technology just isn't there yet. Fossil fuels are going to have a place for at least decades to come, they're an amazing source of stored energy. Keep in mind that renewable energy requires fossil fuels. Wind energy in particular requires a lot of fossil fuels.
I believe our future is battery technology, but I question how we are going to produce significant energy to run all the electric cars without nuclear energy? I just don't think solar is going to do it. It requires a significant amount of land and is generally unsightly.
If we were truly serious about reducing our carbon footprint, or any footprint for that matter, we wouldn't worry about Crush's 66 Mustang, we'd be putting restrictions on how many children we have. I'm not recommending that, but that's the honest reality. Dad4 your kids have a much bigger impact on the environment than Crush's car.
You can measure that long tailpipe.
Include the energy used to make the battery. Mining and smelting aren’t clean, so also include the emissions.
You still end up with a vehicle that is more efficient and pollutes less than a comparable gasoline vehicle.
There is also an advantage to ending your tailpipe at the power plant. The power plant has a multi million dollar emission control system with continuous monitoring by a team of engineers. Your car does not. The power plant creates a lot less pollution per Joule than your car.
Thanks bro. I just want a little choice. Have you heard of Magnetism? Think of the gr8t number 8 of eternal energy and it's free, just like electricity should be free but. These freaks are control freaks and full of materialism and evil. I kid you not. I will stand up to them because of what they did to the kids. Wat fly man, I swear I came here to take these selfish asshats on. Will I die for speaking up for allowing kids to live and be free, hell yes I will. Will I die for a kid that has no one to die for them? Yes!!!
What is a simple definition of magnetism?
Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. ... Their movement generates an electric current and causes each electron to act like a microscopic magnet.

I am not arguing against electric vehicles.
I am just pointing out that a substantial percentage of people have no idea that their vehicle is still powered by fossil fuels.

Lol!! "dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe, does sound familiar. Very familiar.

She's actually trying to spell it for you...... "dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe
One must also factor in the growing proportion of electricity that is produced by renewables

A lot of small engines scattered across the landscape burning hydrocarbons to make energy is about the least efficient method imaginable.

The State is almost universally considered an institution of social service. Some theorists venerate the State as the apotheosis of society; others regard it as an amiable, though often inefficient, organization for achieving social ends; but almost all regard it as a necessary means for achieving the goals of mankind, a means to be ranged against the “private sector” and often winning in this competition of resources. With the rise of democracy, the identification of the State with society has been redoubled, until it is common to hear sentiments expressed which violate virtually every tenet of reason and common sense such as, “we are the government.” The useful collective term “we” has enabled an ideological camouflage to be thrown over the reality of political life. If “we are the government,” then anything a government does to an individual is not only just and un-tyrannical but also “voluntary” on the part of the individual concerned. If the government has incurred a huge public debt which must be paid by taxing one group for the benefit of another, this reality of burden is obscured by saying that “we owe it to ourselves”; if the government conscripts a man, or throws him into jail for dissident opinion, then he is “doing it to himself” and, therefore, nothing untoward has occurred. Under this reasoning, any Jews murdered by the Nazi government were not murdered; instead, they must have “commit- ted suicide,” since they were the government (which was democratically chosen), and, there- fore, anything the government did to them was voluntary on their part. One would not think it necessary to belabor this point, and yet the overwhelming bulk of the people hold this fallacy to a greater or lesser degree. --Rothbard

The growing proportion? Never thought I'd read those flat earth words in one of your post.
No, gasoline is not the worst imaginable. That honor goes to hydrogen.
We heat natural gas with steam, collect the hydrogen, lose half the hydrogen as we ship it around, and then use the remaining hydrogen to run fuel cell vehicles. As a bonus, the fuel cell vehicle uses more resources to create than most other vehicles use over the lifetime of the car.
I’m all for making our car fleet better, but that means we have to think with our heads, not our hearts.
"Eagle one nine, Eagle one nine, do you copy?" Time to help the kids. If anyone likes to help people who are down on their luck, then you will be in high demand. Those who think their life is way better then all the rest, then enjoy your life alone. This planet is in need of big time healing because of the Big Lie put on all of us so just a few can win.
Oh shit, breaking news. Look what Dr F is saying and the CDC. My question for dad 4. How does one know if the human without a mask on had the "V-Shots?" Magnet on their arm? The "V" or mark of the beast on their forehead? What if my "V" stands for Veggie's Only? This is starting to get freaking crazy.
CDC to say people fully vaccinated against COVID can stop wearing masks while inside in most places

Ok, maybe some people do need government mandates. I'm super curious about how they got the fuel from the plastic bag into the gas tank.
Don't fill plastic bags with gas, safety agency warns
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission warned Americans Wednesday not to fill plastic bags with gasoline as a fuel shortage strikes the East Coast.

But but but what about the variants?????????
BTW, if fully vaccinated could ditch their masks it means it probably (other than as a show of solidarity and to make policing easier) was o.k. for people who had to COVID recently to go without a mask, as Rand Paul had been arguing to Fauci.
But but but what about the girl at grocery store who raises her voice at me right now and get's all frantic because I have no mask? Just wait until she's in charge to see if it's ok not to wear a mask. This is starting to get interesting. Can you buy and sell without the "V" on the arm or forehead?

This is the most classist, ivory tower thing you have said yet. Of course in your zoom fortress you don't need gas. Even if I were back in the office, I wouldn't need gas...I could just remote in my work and the bosses would nod and understand. A teacher wouldn't need it because the union would protect them and just call a gas day holiday anyway (since the kids would be missing too). But if you are working that factory or restaurant or janitorial gig, you better find a way in.....at least in the big city you have the metros and buses, not so in the rest of America.
BTW, it's also why doctors in the 70s got gas priority....we wanted them to show up to work....my mom always had to borrow my dad's car to shuffle us around.

Well, well, well. Looky here. How do we make our car fleets better than the plastic cars that we now build.

What a novel idea. Not as novel as Corona though. Lol!!
