Diesel KnOcK!....................
“Tobacco Executives” popped into my horribly foreshortened brain.
sort like recycling.....turns out, not that good for the environment after all
Study says “Duh.”
Just a few weeks ago we did an 800 mile road trip in our recently acquired diesel.We stated with a full tank and drove about 700 of those miles at a steady 65mph,the other 100 in bad conditions (stop & go,lost,massive rainstorm,etc).When we got home and filled the tank we found that we had gotten 47.02 mpg and the "distance to empty" reading was "15 miles".
Let's see an EV do that.
So a good rule to live by is — when a liberal speaks,
a) assume they are lying and then b) believe the opposite of what they are saying.
You’ll be in good shape.
The premise and present structure of “green energy” is built on lies. An “Inconvenient Truth” indeed.
Wind turbines have been disastrous for nature - specifically birds and bees and the resource intensive turbines do not last long enough to pay for themselves. Lithium batteries will have long term ramifications for water quality and mental health and electric cars fail to reduce emissions. Green energy solutions have created hundreds of future super-fund cleanups for landfills. Solar power has also failed to live up to the hype although it is more promising in certain regions based on what I have seen.
Natural gas has saved us recently with the war on coal, but nuclear power remains the long term answer to our energy needs with coal remaining a player for a few decades.
I wish the Trump administration would do more to kick-start that conversation and answer the thorium question once and for all.
An electric car is a fossil fuel car, via complex toxic metals battery storage from strip mines in third world countries.
They also produce more Smug.
I have to think that two cars that each cost $30,000 cost a very similar amount to produce. Steel has to be melted ,parts have to be moved, raw materials have to be moved people have to drive to work to assemble them. I also wonder if they are factoring in the amount of energy needed to produce a gallon of diesel fuel.
Remember that the batteries decline after just a few years and need replacing. Lots of dirty coal burned in other countries to make them — Out of sight, Out of the leftist mind (like the gulags)
*AND* That is ‘IF’ they have a lifetime anything like conventional cars do — a bought USED electric car almost always has to have its batteries replaced (leading to the cars in general having a far shorter lifespan — so that the carbon cost of the rest of the car is now far higher also). Also add in all the other pollutants the result of scrapping a car.
Also PLEASE remind the ignorant that burning fossil fuels STILL is used to create the majority of that electricity for those fraudulently labeled ‘zero emissions’ autos. (What does it matter as long as libtards, in their ignorance, can ‘Feel Good’ ????????????????)
