Hey, hey...this is generally not a problem. We should be happy people want to drive Nuclear Powered and Coal Powered cars, with all the Nuclear plants and coal plants we have...
Oh...wait...
cant believe no one is mocking this whole climate change garbage....humans can NOT change the climate of a f%$$&* planet....all so absurd...
“We will MANIPULATE you to buy the stuff WE want you to buy!!”
Yep, - ..of the people, by the people, for the people…. Mmm Hmm…
yeah sure, drop the car you paid to go into debt to buy a bramd new technology electric car!
MIAZMA!!!
What’s the difference between a Ford with Biden in it and a cactus... the prick is on the inside.
jotato should lead by example and switch the presidential fleet to electric vehicles...
including airforce 1 and 2...
Automakers are ALL-IN on government requirements towards electric cars because
- the auto industry is a government-supported oligopoly
- electric cars are highly regulated, limiting competition
- electric cars are EXPENSIVE. It means higher sales and profits for makers.
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to do all that!
Another thing(s): How far would the EV go in winter like up in Michigan or the Dakotas where the winter temp dives into minus degrees and you’re running the heater full blast? Then too, in high summer in the SW like AZ or NM with temps in +100 and you’re running the A/C full blast?
the way to do it is to make gas unaffordable.
There was a report today the oil the a hole is releasing, the 50 million barrels, is sour oil, not the light sweet used in distillate like gasoline.
IMHO it's mainly about the value of the dollar increasing lately (the Fed tapering the "not QE" they've been doing for years). I'm not saying the dollar hasn't been yuugely devalued. I'm saying it's going back up some lately. That puts downward price pressure on everything on the market, most notably oil and gas. All my life the price of oil and gas are the things on the market that change fastest whenever the value of the dollar changes.
Look at the DXY index showing the dollar value relative to other currencies at https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/.DXY and choose the 1M option to look at it go up the past week. Then do the same with https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/USO to see the value of an ETF that tracks (somewhat) the price of oil (I say "somewhat" because option activity can sometimes monkey with the price of USO).
Joe, you senile old fart, I own an electric Mustang. Love it, great commuter car. But it does nothing good for the environment. Yes, I do save money because my short commutes are inefficient for my V8 Hemi, but it in no way makes up for the cost of the new car (though yeah, the tax credit this year will help).
I’d MUCH rather have the “drill baby drill” policies under Trump back you dimwitted old fool.
He learned from Obama who said that increased gas prices would result in savings since we would buy less gas.
I can purchase a great deal of gasoline for the price of an electric car.
As far as people in the southwest "...running the A/C full blast" I promise you we can relate here in the southeast with our 90+ temps and high humidity. That's part of my math on expecting the miles per kWh to be 10% less than the advertised performance, much like buying a gas car. At least, that's what I experience compared to driving in the winter months. (For the record, that's also not getting into a lower performance when loading it with cargo, since I was using numbers for gas truck vs EV truck, not cars. That's a whole 'nuther ball of wax, but I use my truck like that maybe only 1% or 2% of the time without counting throwing grungy but light stuff in the back like a lawnmower or taking out my church's trash. If I toted heavy cargo a lot for long distances I'd be really worried about range per charge.)
Biden: “If you steal an election, you don’t have to pay for anything. Think of the money you could save!”
What a cheesy 3rd rate Commie salesman as these misfits peddle policies that can be defined as sabotage.
Biden says while you’re paying 5 bucks a gallon, you dummies should have lots of cash left over to buy one of his electrical appliance vehicles.
Wow...
I just flew in to KC and waiting on an incoming flight to take it to Philly.
If GOP voters were smart, they would primary all 50 GOP Senators, and about 85% of GOP Congressman, and replace them all with middle class business people who have never run for any office before.
But we’re not smart. We still think that Uniparty thespians, like Sam Waterston, I mean Tom Cotton, are the lesser of two evils. When they’re actually more evil in their deceptiveness.
No, we’re not smart. We still think that November elections are important, and whether or not the GOP is in the majority. IT’S MEANINGLESS! Running every last RINO out of office in the primaries is the only thing that matters.
Give me 300 Teddy Daniels’, then dare the soccer moms to hand power to the Democrats. Call the freakin’ GOPe triangulationist’s bluff!
