Ford Wants To Build Hybrids Instead of All-Electric Cars. The EPA Hates That.

But your fine with Big HomeO APPL or Amazon you dumb OX.
What is "Big HomeO APPL"?
Look it up cherry tomato balls..
You modded that. You initially called me "tomato balls". I was going to say I bet we both wish we had balls the size of tomatoes. Now I just bet you wish you had balls the size of cherry tomatoes. Or grape tomatoes. Or Tomberry tomatoes.

Solar doesnt work to heat your Somali in DEC in MINN you ignorant OX. Batteries cant be trusted at 25 below zero. Many people drive 75-200 miles per day commute to work in CA. They need Gasoline.

American Big Oil is probabe most needed American company. Yet idiots bark non-stop about it? And you bozo are going after Natural Gas. You fools dont let up. All for nothing. Hope you and yours freeze to death in your stranded battery car.
I drive a gas engine. What are you babbling about? I do not trust them though. They've done nothing to earn it.

Yet non-stop big Oil bashing? Another retard Leftist willing to destroy the country (and his own dumb self) because Some Demwitted Political hack tells you what to think. Quit posting you arsejack. Uninformed and your butt-buddy Crook trying to spread BS. I call you on it meatheads.

Questioning big oil isn't bashing them. You just live rich corporates. Do they price gouge? Probably.
 
Tesla has cut down more than 500,000 trees on the outskirts of Berlin to make way for its German Gigafactory. This happened between 2020 and 2023 as the automaker expands its production site.

Construction of Tesla's German plant began back in 2020, with the first car rolling off the assembly line in 2021. In order to create a large enough site for the facility, the automaker had to cut down thousands of trees to clear the site and prepare the ground for construction. In the years since construction began, this practice has continued, allowing Tesla's European plant to expand.

According to the Guardian, a British news outlet, Tesla cut down trees on 813 acres of forest between March 2020 and May 2023. This represents an estimated loss of approximately 500,000 trees over a three-year period.

How many trees have been cut down for refineries and gas stations and tank farms across the planet? Did Tesla need to set up drilling the ANWR? How many trees on this planet have died from the pollution of automobile exhaust. Remember the smog of LA. Guess what produced that. It wasn't batteries or electric motors.

Elon Musk is a dick, but best make certain your house is clean before ragging on his.

US oil production polluting isn't t as bad as Brazil. Saudi Aramco has the cleanest production of the world.

But they cut down a butt-ton-load of trees to build all that shit, didn't they.

What actual polluting are you talking about? Spills? Poor refining? Additives? Because you can't reduce the amount of CO2 that fossil fuels produce when you burn them.
 
I drive lots of places. In my 2021 Toyota Sienna hybrid.
Oh my heavens, I love that Sienna hybrid! We rented one on the way home from my parent's in Florida to drive home to Maine....the most awesome minivan ever!!! I love the way the back seats sink in to the lower area and make the back flat like a station wagon to haul a bunch of stuff. Love sitting up high, loved the seat comfort, loved spending very little on gasoline to make it home...!
 
An all gas engine that gets 70 miles per gallon should not be hard at all to build. Is big oil stopping this?

Making a 70 mile per gallon engine isn't the issue.

Making a 70 mile per gallon car is the issue.

The engine has to move the car, the larger and heavier the car the MPG decrease.

If all cars were designed like this we could do it, but who wants to buy one?

Well, the flat back seat is universal in minivans. Many people like the Chrysler middle seats that also disappear into the deck, but Toyotas don't do that. When I was working we almost universally used Dodge Grand Caravans for road trips to handle the equipment we were bringing along. But as an owner, reliability is more important. We weren't putting any rental vans in the shop. So, yes, I love this van and would buy it again.
 
The automaker is choosing to prioritize hybrids, which are more popular and provide a better option for many motorists. But the EPA only foresees a minor role for hybrids.
We haven't seen this level of government controlling markets since the USSR.

Actually, for most vehicles, air resistance overtakes rolling friction at 40 to 50 to miles per hour. So, for highway travel at a steady speed, mass doesn't matter as much as aerodynamics. At city speeds, the opposite holds true and for identical drivetrains, the car's mass is almost the only significant factor. The hybrid and EVs capability to use regenerative braking make this their ideal environment. A hybrid using a hydrogen powered engine could be ideal if we had the infrastructure. But if we had hydrogen infrastructure we could go to fuel cells, reduce the moving parts and eliminate nitrogen oxides from combustion heat.
 
If you have no problem with the regulation of emissions, what possible objection can you have with the EPA regulating CO2-emitting engines out of existence? And when you say "far too much power is delegated", what power are you talking about and who is delegating it to whom?

Regulations aren't supposed to ban things, they are supposed to regulate them. Shadow bans like this is why people don't trust you AGW fanatics.
 
Look it up cherry tomato balls..
No. I'll just carry on with my firm belief that you have the vocabulary of a 10-year old and can neither spell nor type.
