Electric vehicles have their place but the Moonbats are determined to
push immature technology upon the citizenry especially when there is
no widely established infrastructure to support it. When you see The
President and congressmen traveling around in battery powered
limousines
and The Capital and White House powered completely by solar
cells and windmills, the technology will be ready for the masses. Until
that happens I'll be very skeptical that the present national energy
and
transportation infrastructure should be scrapped for something from
La La Land. ^_^

TDD

It's a good thing for us that folks who said that the infrastructure was
not in place and that the moonbats were trying to replace horses and
buggys with new-fangled automobiles were unable to convince the
citizenry of their anti-progressive ways. What model carriage do you
drive, sir? :-)


Don't be silly, the primitive automobiles were few in number and the
highway system didn't exist at the time not to mention the relatively
tiny population in those days. Electric vehicles will be wonderful if
the infrastructure is allowed to develop and evolve slowly and with the
demands of the market the same way the internal combustion engine based
transportation infrastructure did. Moonbats believe the present
transportation infrastructure can be scrapped and changed overnight. If


Nobody believes that the infrastructure can be developed overnight. The
electric car will develop and mature like any new technology. Naysayers,
as usual, will be proven shortsighted and wrong.


You've obviously never met a wide eyed dumbass who voted for the present
administration. Electric vehicles haven't been developed
to the point that they can take the place of existing internal
combustion engine powered vehicles except for short range commuting
which I think is a wonderful use for them. An electric vehicle is
not suitable for my use because I often must travel a hundred miles
or more in a day and carry a load of tools and equipment. There is
no electric vehicle in existence that a normal citizen could afford
that has anything near the capabilities of my old gasoline powered
service van. O_o

you remember history, our politicians didn't use the newfangled gasoline
powered automobiles and airplanes until the technology matured as much
as the rail and steamship travel had become and widely used safely by a
large number of people. Last week I had to spend a few days working at
the Northern end of the state which was a two hour drive. There is no
windmill and solar cell powered vehicle in existence that would have
made it possible for me and JH to transport ourselves and a half ton of
tools and equipment to the job site and back. So my assertion of the
moonbattery of the Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Freaks still
stands. ^_^


Sorry, I won't get sucked into some political rant. That's just a red
herring anyway.


Political rant my irritated red posterior. It's the morons in Washington
D.C. who are trying to push junk science and technology
on the citizenry when they have no understanding of said technology.
It's amazing how much taxpayer money was wasted on trying to prop up
so called "green" energy when the companies promising great and
wonderful solar cells and super duper batteries sucked in hundreds of
millions of taxpayer dollars them went bankrupt. I wonder why GM hasn't
been able to put an electric car in every driveway? Perhaps it's because
no normal citizen want's one of the darn things? Perhaps if Apple came
up with an iCar, folks would be clamoring for one? O_o
