All right.
You have convinced me that you do not believe that electric cars can happen.
Further you have convinced me that you believe that electric cars will never happen.
Finally, you have convinced me that if you do see electric cars on the road, you’ll consider them to be either a fantasy or an affront.
This is all good. No worries.
I do think that the pubbies will likely slash subsidies to solar and wind if they get the white house in 2016. But any fall off in new electrical supplies that causes will be made up for by natural gas — as is currently happening in California. The drought there has cut hydro production in half. The extra electricity is being generated by natural gas sources.
Similarly there is a great danger that the turbines for the hoover dam will be shut off because of falling water levels. This will shut off electricity to large sections of the southwest. However, some of the new large solar farms coming on stream are expected to take up some of the slack. How much I don’t know.
I’m not a greenie. I think its a shame what the greens are doing to the coal industry. And what they would do to oil and natural gas if they could.
That said, I think its a great blessing to have as many sources of energy as possible for the same reason that it best to have many sources of income. You don’t know when one will go bust.
Oh quit being so snarky....the article you posted claims things that Tesla wants you to believe....
Never nonce did I say that electric cars won’t or don’t exist. What I have said consistently is that they will not REPLACE all cars currently on the road
And of course your so called green energy patter is pointless. Solar is falling into disfavor due to the problems the surrounding environment is suffering from bug fields. Wind power is fine for a small scale and has never been a full time solution. Bio mass is so inefficient it isn’t even funny
The so called nuclear solution you hope for hasn’t happened and at least in the US will never be allowed to be built.
I find it interesting when asked to name a NEW major power plant that uses nuclear you fall into silliness.
So many want to get rid of coal (just ask them) and that is a huge portion of our current energy useage. Replacing that source of energy is the current big challenge.
Just because Elon has sold you and the folks in some of the investment community a bill of goods doesn’t mean that it will happen
