And we are within 5 years of no longer using fossil fuels to drive those tucks. Let's face it, Electric Heavy Trucks will cost less in almost every category to operate than fossil fueled. The Changes are going to go almost insane in during the next 4 years. It's time has come. So you can fight it and attempt to prevent it but you won't be able to. Well unless you are the President. Even then, Capitalists will still make the change with or without you.
Wherever you read that nonsense about electric trucks, do yourself a favor and never use that source again. You're not going to do it. It's not going to happen in our lifetime. They may get a lightweight truck that never has to combat inclines somewhere out in Arizona, but it's not going to be practical for most places, especially in the mountains.
Several years ago they came out with natural gas trucks. They were great. The problem was where are you supposed to get natural gas at? So drivers gave up on it and went back to plentiful diesel. Same with propane tow motors. Yes, natural gas was cleaner and you filled up the tanks yourself, but in the end costs were higher.
Funny, companies are already very interested. Capitalism drives change. So set back, scream "Heresy" at the top of your lungs and watch the Earth no longer get orbited by the sun.
Companies will only truly be interested if/when green becomes cheaper than fossil fuels. China and other countries will wipe the floor with us if we go green and they don't. Americans have already shown they will buy a cheaper product all day...take a look at Walmart. A "green" product made in the US may cost 3 time as much as the same product in China that uses fossil fuels.
As much as you would like to, you can't push your green agenda on the rest of the world. Some aren't quite as gullible(and stupid) as the American and European left.
Actually, the rest of the Western World is driving us to change. By 2025, Norway will have already made the change. Germany isn't that far behind. Japan is looking real seriously at making the change in order to save their country. Even China is making quite a lot of changes. Right now, Electrics only make up about .6% of all car sales in the world. But by 2040, that is going to be completely different. In 5 years, the Electric Heavies will be hitting the roads. I will still be driving my Electric and my hemi Wagon will still be parked out front. The changes for 2025 are happening right now. And in 2025, things are going to be a little different, okay, not much, but a little. Well at least for people like me. For people like you, it's going to be life threatening. Of course, it already is.
