Would you buy an EV produced with government subsidies and built by the UAW?

[otto105]

Ummmm.... no, I don't care what they use to generate electricity as long as it is reliable.

When are you going to buy an EV?

As soon as you start using coal.

 

[ding]

As soon as you start using coal.

You aren't making any sense. I suspect it's because you know you are a hypocrite to complain about fossil fuels while not making any efforts to stop using fossil fuels.

I on the other hand see no issue using any generating source to produce electricity as long as it is reliable. Renewables by definition can never serve to base load electric grids. The best they can ever be is to augment fossil fuels, not replace fossil fuels.

 

[otto105]

He doesn't strike me as the honest type. He can't even bring himself to admit he doesn't own one.

This from a guy who refuses to power his home with coal.

No efforts?

How do you know.


I know that you don't use coal to heat your home even though the coal miners are suffering.

Going into the future kicking and screaming are ya.

I have no control over what fuel is used. I'm happy to use any fossil fuel. You can't say the same and yet you have made no efforts to change.

 

[petro]

Honestly, after the issues with my Chrysler/Fiat Jeep and past issues with American cars, I hate to say it, but I am considering a used Toyota Tundra.
Last thing I want is another poor quality, unreliable vehicle that costs a small fortune built by pissy workers who could give a damn what goes off the line.
Hell no, I wouldn't consider an EV or any vehicle by the big 3 right now.

No, I'm pretty happy how this is playing out. The best way to get rid of bad ideas is to embrace them fully. That way people get to experience the consequences of bad ideas for themselves.

Again, how do you know. BTW you should since we have discussed this before.

Because you won't answer a simple question like do you own an EV. That's how I know.

Worldwide over 1.8 million EV's will be sold this year.

Renewable energy growth is far out pacing legacy fossil fuels.

I own hybrids.

You own the past.

Did you buy one?

 

[ding]

Last time I checked hybrids use gasoline. I just bought a 2023 Escalade ESV. Seems very much like I own the present to me.

 

[otto105]

Did you buy one?

Not yet, but will.

Have you started to research coal furnaces?

 

[otto105]

Not yet, but will.

Have you started to research coal furnaces?

I'm also looking to put a heat pump in.

 

[ding]

Not yet, but will.

Have you started to research coal furnaces?

I'm pretty happy with my gas fired furnace. What kind do you have? Do you have an electric furnace? Those are horrible.

 

[ding]

I'm also looking to put a heat pump in.

You are long on intentions and short on action. How long have you been considering these virtue signaling investments?

And make sure to get the electric heat pump. They are just as horrible as electric furnaces.

Would you buy an EV​

No. I don't care WHO built it.
