I think they are interested in the software aspect of electric cars.
Unless you have a solid lock on the market, you’re always better off as a dominant support player.
Cars have been engineered to be almost pollution free. New cars, in fact, actually pull carbon from the air and captures it with its filter system.
A state of decay.
No. They are correct. The big car makers don’t care what kind of car they make, as long as it sells. If electric cars were better, he’d be saying that they were better.
China is also building nuclear power plants.
Here in Washington state we generate more hydro electricity than any other state.
But because California refuses to generate its own electricity we end up selling to them and our prices rise.
And for some reason hydro is not considered one of the green renewables.
That is the leftist goal
Cbeck the facts: The world’s first purpose-built gas station was constructed in St. Louis, Missouri in 1905 at 420 South Theresa Avenue. The second gas station was constructed in 1907 by Standard Oil of California (now Chevron) in Seattle, Washington, at what is now Pier 32.
“It will be no problem when they kill off 90% of the world’s population.”
Someone in the 10% will finally take them down.
Apple hopes to sell cars to a niche market who'll overpay (especially if we subsidize them) to brag to their associates about how virtuous they are regardless of how environmentally damaging its and how many children get sick mining the metals for the batteries.
wrongo
they want to sell ICE engines
the rest is mostly a box
Natural gas puts out 55% less carbon dioxide per unit of energy than coal or oil does.
40% of electricity is from renewables, nuclear, etc, and that is increasing at a rate of 3% per year.
Electric cars can charge at earlier in the day than peak energy usage, meaning they don’t even create a need for increased generating capacity; There’s just as much sunlight at 9AM when A/C needs are minimal as there is at 3PM wehn A/C needs peak.
There’s enough lithium for 400 billion cars with current technology levels, and it is not consumed by battery usage: when your battery needs replacement, the lithium can be recycled, if the scarcity of lithium is ever great enough to make recyclable profitable.
New Mexico alone could generate the solar power to power the entire Earth, and the efficiency of gathering that solar power is likely to grow at a faster rate than the global economy for many decades.

Those were just curbside pumps. The first drive-in station opened in 1913.

“Renewables” are supposed to fight increased CO2 emissions-—coal of course does not.
But those who want to reduce CO2 emissions must come up with a better way!!!!
1400 hp ...
Unicorn pee.
We don’t have enough coal and oil and natutal gas to make all the electricty to make all cars electric.
