I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer but won’t we have to burn even more coal so everybody can charge these things? I don’t see how this is going to help the enviroloonies’ “save the planet.”
interesting idea to lease the batteries.
How long is the extension cord?
Not if we switch to nuclear, which even some of the envirowackos are starting to endorse.
Its more about defunding the sponsors of terrorism. If we burn coal, we are not paying the Saudis, Iranians, etc. for oil; and as well, the price of oil will go down.
That is what I was wondering.. as people live in apartments and condos that are 18 stories or so high.. do they throw out extension cord daily to charge the batteries..
The “courts” won’t allow nuclear power plants to be built in this country anymore. It doesn’t work with their agenda to destroy America.
True to some degree... but here in Texas, we’re *expanding* two of our plants AND the nutroots people couldn’t get any local support for stopping it in court.
I will be looking to buy a new vehicle in the not too distant future and am trying to decide which direction to go in. Hybrid looks interesting, because most of my trips are fairly short. OTOH I need a pickup truck, and they don’t seem to be as far along developing pickup hybrids. I’m leaning toward a diesel, on the hypothesis that biodiesel will really take off. Of course if my theory is wrong, I’ll be stuck with an expensive piece of driveway sculpture.
I found the article a little hard to read.
Talk about an expensive piece of driveway sculpture, we have a motor home decorating our driveway that has been moved twice in the past year. Want to buy a very nice motor home?
“I dont see how this is going to help the enviroloonies save the planet.”
If we transition to nuclear energy, this has to advantage: we minimize pollution and we get away from foreign fuel.
As things stand now, why not get away from foreign oil? I’d rather be burning coal than buying oil that goes back to funding terrorists and goes towards Wahabbi mosques.
Sorry, some poor editing on my part.
“This has two advantages:”
No silly, we just harness lightning. See...?
I've talking about the whole infrastructure and logistics for years. No one seems to listen or figured that out yet except us.
Is that the future?
What’s taking Dodge so long?
technologische Differenzierung und idealerweise auch eine Alleinstellung im Antriebsstrang definieren können
