I Reckon he’d welcome “global warming” right about now. He’ll probably just have to wait for summer though.
Huh. So there’s a DOWNSIDE to these things???
So since the commies want to ban gas cars, does that mean they will shut down all the millions of gas stations as well? Hhmmm? How will that set?

In 2001 I was in need of a high mpg vehicle. Don’t know why but I went to a Toyoto dealer and there they showed me two new cars. The Echo and the Prius. The Prius went for $22k and the Echo for $12k. Bought the Echo and was very satisfied for awhile. Got almost 40mg for the first 2 years. In 2002 (I think) the first Mini Cooper came out and I really wanted to get one but I had just bought the Echo. Then in 2003 something happened to the Echo and the mileage went down to the mid 20s. Took it to the dealer but they said it was running fine.
Bought a 2003 Mini Cooper, sold the Echo and got my last speeding ticket in the Mini. Only doing 60 in a 50 :<((((((.
EV battery tech.
In Kalifornia, they shut down a Natural Gas fired electricity power plant, and placed massive Tesla (and other) batteries in the same plant. There is no mention of just how the batteries are charged. In a year and a half, the plant has shut down twice due to battery fires. Sometimes the shutdown lasts months.
Several European ferry companies have banned EVs on their ferries due to the fire danger. I suggest the ferry tow a large, flat barge where the EVs can park. If a fire starts, they can just cut the tow line, no danger to all the other cars and people.
Some New York buildings have banned e-bikes and e-scooters due to the fires.
