Easy when every moral decision is conditional and transactional.Funny the Biden administration doesn't care about these Indians and this water/land like they did where Keystone was concerned.

The did shut down metal mining in Minnesota last year(would have been a new mine they still have the iron mine).Funny the Biden administration doesn't care about these Indians and this water/land like they did where Keystone was concerned.
Does it help to know that many of the environmental groups are funded by our nations enemies?It is funny that the mine to provide the material for batteries pushed by environmentalists is being blocked by other environmentalists. It doesn’t get much better showing hypocrisy.
Well, not in those words, but I've heard people talking about wanting an EV. A coworker bought one a few years ago. He's not an environmentalist. He's not political. I don't even think he votes. He's just a geek who likes the tech. He got his just before the subsidies ended for Tesla. Then another guy bought one, and it looks to me like he just wanted one because the other guy got one. He got his after the federal tax break ended. They're pretty cool cars, if that's what you like. I'd rather have something with real ass buttons and knobs, but that's me.When did you ever hear someone say I wish I had an electric car? I do not recall it.
Did anyone pine for toasters before people really started seeing viable toasters advertised? You don't know you want something until you see your neighbor or coworker or relative have one. Or see something advertised and just have to have it. There's a whole psychological industry around marketing research on how to get people to buy things they didn't know they wanted.Folks hoped and dreamed of hydrogen powered vehicles, heck even water powered, and I’m sure others I am not thinking of but I just do not recall anyone pining for an electric car.
Electric cars have been around for longer than 30 years, but nothing more than fringe use until Tesla came along. No one before that seemed serious about making them work. I don't think they wanted to put the R&D into battery technology and charging. Musk was serious and he made something that could find a niche in people's use. Like I've said all along, EV's are not a replacement for ICE. Traveling in them isn't practical yet. Doing work with them isn't practical yet. But you can daily drive them, locally, and not miss a beat. Unless your power goes out. So that obviously restricts the people who might seriously think about getting one.I suspect that was because they subconsciously knew the batteries were always dead when they needed to use the flashlight and the batteries went dead before the job was done. We certainly cannot know an alternate reality but those who gave attention to others can certainly can remember attitudes from thirty years ago, that I have confidence in.
Wouldn't they be eligible again for tax breaks under Biden's delusional wet dream if final assembly is in the US?which no longer receive the tax breaks.
That remains to be seen. Musk himself said he was near bankrupcy. So it's possible that without tax breaks enough people would not have bought them and he'd be SOL. But as I said before, we don't have that reality available to compare. But you're obviously free to doubt.Would hot EV’s like Tesla even exist without the intervention of TPTB? I seriously doubt it.
That's an interesting thought. But I think in the existing hydrogen vehicles it's not vapor that is expelled. I think it was TFL that put out a video some time ago. It was a luxury car from Japan...maybe Lexus? I don't recall. Anyway I thought there was a reservoir to collect the water, and then you could empty it whenever you want.The hydrogen thing always got me. So the byproduct is water vapor? So how does that affect things with that much water vapor released into the atmosphere? Slick moss growing in the streets or sidewalks? Humidity rising? I don't think there would be a net zero impact.
The EV has been around near 150 years. It is not a new concept. Complete BS that masses of the people were clamoring for them. They predate the ICE, so they clearly are not a modern invention by any means. When I asked if people were hoping for them I meant before TPTB started in on the current track, maybe 30 years ago. They were not…Did anyone pine for toasters before people really started seeing viable toasters advertised?
And I do. He also benefited from TPTB pushing his cars for him, market capital likely would be far less if it was not for the fingers on the market scale. It is not just one thing, this is an international push from many directions…That remains to be seen. Musk himself said he was near bankrupcy.

The problem with hydrogen is that most of it is already combined with some other atoms. To get enough to use as a fuel you have to use other fuel to separate the hydrogen out.

Yep. Hydrogen powered vehicles, if it's even possible to make it practical, will be a long way off. But someday...that is if the WEF doesn't get its way with their new world order, ICE will be made obsolete by some new technology.The problem with hydrogen is that most of it is already combined with some other atoms.

I was tech at a hydrogen generator for 6 years or so. Natural gas is injected with steam in the process. All this take a tremendous about of energy .The problem with hydrogen is that most of it is already combined with some other atoms.

I bet. The trick is getting more BTUs worth of fuel out than you put into getting them. That’s why fossil fuels are so tough to beat.I was tech at a hydrogen generator for 6 years or so. Natural gas is injected with steam in the process. All this take a tremendous about of energy .
Where are you getting 12 cent kWh? How many miles? What gas price is being used?The tech shows the real time energy use and costs based on my power source. Savings compared to avg gas price at the time of charge.
