Electric vehicles are good for the environment and the GAIA Erf Mother -
Because they don't cause any pollution at all.

EV’s do save gas. Because of range anxiety, owners don’t travel much, staying off the road when they’d otherwise be burning gas.

And where is the analysis that shows how much energy is expended creating the batteries, wind towers and solar collectors?
To: TexasGator
Considering a NG combined cycle generating station
I actually owned a hybrid Ford Contour that was supposed to burn CNG. That part of it didn't work, so I had to run it on gasoline. Awful car. CNG was $1.80/gallon equivalent (gasoline was $3.80 at the time in 2014), and filling the tank (less capacity) was under 10 minutes. But if it doesn't work, it is worthless.
I was just trying to save the money, not the planet. Big mistake. (I had no chance to test the CNG portion as the car was in Jacksonville, FL when I bought it, with no CNG stations nearby)

Ah, if we could only harness the btu’s of burning EV batteries, we’d have this sh!t licked!

We need a perpetual energy source, a perpetual motion machine.
It seems like everytime we exert effort to distill alcohol or transmit electricity or move energy fro a to b we lose a little.
That has got to stop. sarc needed?
To: Tell It Right
But for what it's worth, my EV costs about 4.7¢ for every mile driven.
ok mr holy
tell us about lithium mining absolutely raping the environment.
and you'll have to replace them (if you can) or trash the car and buy another. very environmentally friendly
btw I sincerely hope the car doesn't burn down your house

what happens when there's no coal and nuke plants? What happens indeed? Because of winter and the impact of the Europe energy crisis, Switzerland (a very wealthy and high technical country) has orders at the ready to ban EV's in order to have enough electricity for homes etc

Technology isn’t here yet,
Ideal would be electric, with Hydrogen based fuel cells.
We just can’t capture all the energy the sun gives us.
If we could, it would be Jake.
It isn’t wind, and our solar cells ain’t all that great.
Need fusion power, miniature suns. Other than bombs we aren’t doing very good with fusion.

california has already had occasion to tell its unfortunate 'citizens' to pull the plug on their Excrement Vehicles

LOL! Will you still be smiling when the gooberment taxes you by the mile? But, more important, to replace the present ICE fleet would require 100+ more lithium strip mines. Think in terms of 500,000 lbs of dirt processed for enough lithium to make one large lithium battery. The tailings from these mines are quite toxic. Not to mention the cobalt mining, etc. Grid needs to be expanded ten times to charge all the crab. If course, the 190 new lithium mines and 10x expanded power grid are not going to happen. The plan is for a whole lot of us to be driving in the not too distant future, or perhaps a whole lot if us not to be around to drive.

"... if we could only harness the btu’s..." Darn right!

Opps, that is a whole lot of us NOT to be driving.

If you want to drive an EV, knock yourself out, just let the rest of us choose what we want to drive.

Thing is NG should even be cheaper to use at power plants, as its often found in oil fields when bringing up the oil. In the psst they just burnt it off, but hell, put it in a pipeline to a bunch of power plants.

Counter to my facts? Wrong tact. I have never suggested that anyone should drive an EV.
To: TexasGator
Don’t expect us to subsidize your EV either.

I wasn’t considering costs. Just efficiency.

this is what the absolute dumbnut ev freaks don't grasp
ev replacing oil is TOTALLY UNACHIEVABLE AND UNSUSTAINABLE
the deep state simply wants to take away our mobility and therefore our freedom
intelligence is the ability to discern the TRUTH

Don’t worry. I don’t and you won’t.
