RE:RE:RE:Yesterday was lure to todays sticks to the eyeYes the electric car revolution. Nothing like a couple of millenials checking into the Super 8 and wanting to use $25 of the hotels power to charge their Tesla. What a deal for the hotel, all their profit margin. Imagine a car thats out of joiuce for min 8 hours at a time (50hr if using 120v outlet)
Then there are the tools who buy one and complain their electric bill shot up a few hun. Gee ya think? Power was generated by what? Gas? Oh and the mining for elements to make the battery. Then the proven science that a Tesla battery rolls off the line already having emitted more carbon to product than 8 years of a regular cars emmisions. All so "freindly".
Who wouldnt want to drive a quirky commuter only machine where everything is controlled by a touchscreen?. When that screen goes down, you're hooped. The interiors in those look like a 70's Dodge Dart. COmplete with faux wood right out of fisher price.
Honestly, the reality of this "electric" nonsense will hit its wall anytime as oil redlines over the $100 mark again. War in mid east appears certainty. I think pipeline opersators like Enbridge line 5 should just shut down awhile. Let reality sink in until they beg for oil to save them. Put an end to this nonsense.
Oil isnt going away in my lifetime. But its going to get more expensive.

Now, if the hackers shot down the electric power grid, how many electric vehicles with dead
batteries would be blockng the interstate highways?
A statement by the Secretary of Energy like the one quoted by Pandora, reminds me of Albert Eistein, who said: "there is a great similarity between the universe and human stupidity, in that both of them are LIMITLESS."
