Ya know where ya can shove that.. right next to the hydrogen pump. 8-]
Thank God I live in Cedar Park!
Liberal Mecca of the Southwest.
So... what do you drive to get to the ‘charging station’ parking lot, or from the lot to your home?
Or are people supposed to sit in their car for 8 hours in a hot parking lot?
What if you are on empty, and all the pumps are taken?
What’s to keep them from bumping it up to $500/yr after they’ve caught enough fish?
It amounts to another subsidy of rich liberals who drive a Nissan Leaf or a Chevy Volt to impress their envious neighbors. They already get one subsidy from We the Taxpayers when they buy the car.
I guess you can’t call them limousine liberals, in the circumstances. “I have a Chevy Volt for my third car to impress the neighbors” liberals?
I'm going to hook my house up to one.
basically free electricity paid for by the taxpayers.
ugh
The state of Texas just leases the capitol and the University.
Gee didn’t Austin suffer rolling blackouts in the last week because the electric grid could not support the demand? So if a lot of tree huggers plug in their electric vehicles won’t that place even more demands on an already over burdened grid? Will the $50 per year cover the actual cost of the power or will the extra cost simply be passed on to consumers?
More wealth redistribution.
Use tax money from people who can only afford to drive used clunkers to subsidize electricity to charge batteries on $40,000 greenie status cars.
So, yet again, taxpayers are going to end up subsidizing the Greenies.
If these stupid local and state governments are going to start giving away high-amperage electricity (which is what these subsidies amount to), I may have to retrofit my ‘78 F-250 4x4 with an electric motor on its transfer case and batteries in the bed.
More rolling blackouts coming to TX.
Hard core lefty enviro-nazi drives a Volt from his 3,000 sq ft house in westlake hills, exits mopac onto cesar chavez blvd to get to his government job downtown, and plugs it in.
The money he saves allows him to buy bigger gro-lights for his hydroponic pot farm he keeps in his second floor game-room.
My “electric car” questions are:
When no one pays “gasoline taxes” anymore, then who pays for the government-built and maintained roads, and how does the government get its money for them?
And, how can electric cars even be allowed on the government’s roads without some system of collecting “fuel taxes” for roads from electric cars?
Or, do “all electric” cars lead us to a “Libertarian” road solution of ALL roads operated as toll roads?
Time to build more coal burning power plants.
Hey Austin, Where do you get the fuel to supply these green recharge stations?
Nevermind, don’t look at the man behind the curtain.
These will probably go the same way as the useless, broken emergency call boxes that were laid out every mile of interstate 95 here in MA during the 70’s -80’s.
