Save the planet - buy an electric car

[Thinker101]

Yup, buy an electric car to save the planet and save on fossil fuel. Oh wait, it may cost you a few extra bucks to buy the vehicle, and a few more bucks to support the State.

Illinois might start charging $1,000 per year to own an electric vehicle: 'It's outrageous'

 

[fncceo]

I wouldn't drive one ... but I believe children should.

Sounds more like a tax on the rich. The problem is, middle class should be driving these. And putting a huge increase like that defeats the purpose. How about raising the cost to operate a gas guzzler instead. Or tax more on those things that pollute the air and water.

The Electric car is the future but not if only the rich can afford them.

Huh? Wait, I thought you lefties wanted to tax the rich.

Does the looney left ever consider how the electricity that powers these over priced turds is made?
It's like how they have their cute little recycle containers but are oblivious to the fact that most of it ends up in the landfill anyway

Wow, you rightwingnutjobs believe anyone that disagrees even the slightest bit with you are lefties.. Time to clean up the gene pool of people I listen to. Have a nice day.

Around here, it's made with Natural Gas, Hydroelectric, Solar and Wind. There are, I believe, one coal fired plant left and it's on the chopping block. And WE have the coal but are smart enough not to burn it for electricity. Right now, 20% of all electric power come from Hydro, Solar and Wind. And it gets more and more each year. And are you aware that Hydro, Solar and Wind cost less than either the Coal or Natural Gas plants to operate. The electricity locally here is Hydroelectric. We haven't had a gas or coal fired plant for about 40 years. I can't help it that where you are from, people are dumber than a Box of Rock. Just one rock in that box. A Box of rocks would be smarter.

Tesla's Electric Cars Aren't as Green as You Might Think

The lithium in the batteries, for example, is super light and conductive—that’s how you get a lot of energy without adding a lot of weight. Other, rare metals are sprinkled throughout the car, mostly in the magnets that are in everything from the headlights to the on-board electronics.

But those rare metals come from somewhere—often, from environmentally destructive mines. It’s not just Tesla, of course. All electric vehicles rely on parts with similar environmental issues. Even solar panels depend on rare metals that have to be dug out of the earth and processed in less-than-green ways

it is all about the feel good movement of Socialism but every fucking place Socialism is just look at the air there.
China..

Cuba.....It is always the same with Socialism....

It can come from many sources including synthetic. In fact, Synthetic is much better and it can be made from plants. But if you compare the output of hydrocarbons with the use of even a normal lubricant then you would see that the alternate energy sources win hands down. Nice box of rock you have there.

Cuba.....It is always the same with Socialism....

China is turning their cities into clean are. The steps they are taking are.

1. replace all the gasoline and diesel powered taxis with electrics

2. Replace all the Buses with electric power.

3. Replace the Light Trucks with electrics

4. Slowly (with a cutoff for 2030) replace all the cars with electrics.

The Cities that have done this in china still use coal to make electricity. But the removal of the gasoline and diesel from their vehicles has turn the air from deadly to livable. Many industries can operate on electricity instead of fossil fuels.

How is your box of rock doing.

Oil. The same type of fossil fuel that is used to make the cars. The same type of fuel that semi trucks use to deliver parts and cars. The same type of fuel that fuels the iron workers that make the frames to those cars.

But let's focus on an individual's tiny part

Okay, let's do.

The parts last for years or even decades. And most can be recycled back to new production. Per car, it's a once oil bill. The Electric and the Gas car have the same requirements there.

Daily operation, the Electric wins hands down even if your electricity is generated by fossil fuel.

Do you need to use fossil fuels to drive the trucks to deliver those parts? No, not one bit. Welcome to the 21st century where Electric Trucks are slowly taking over. In City, Light Trucks, there is absolutely no reason to use anything other than electric power.

And you use the word "Grandpa", check my age.

You keep lumping solar and wind in with hydro power when you know they have nothing to do with each other. Hydro is cheap, but wind and solar are several times more expensive. Furthermore, they require 100% backup from a reliable source of power, like coal.

 

[Daryl Hunt]

No, but the electric car will outperform the gas rig. If you want it to make that noise, install an audio system.

The new house construction that uses solar has a zero electric daily cost of operation. In the daytime, it sells electric power to the Electric Company and at night it uses the grid and removes what it put in the grid during the daytime. Cost versus payback is estimated at 7 years. In 7 years, the cost savings pay for the added installation. After that, it's free.

And you believe that Hydroelectric is cheap? Wow, the cost of construction of a Dam Project can only be done at a national level. Before I went into the Service, I worked at Marrow Point and the cost of that project was way out of hand for anyone other than the United States Government. Over quite a number of years, it's paid for itself but it took it decades to do it. Solar and Wind are a far cry less expensive and pay for themselves in no more than 7 years.

How is that box of rock.
