Cool your jets. I replied to the THREAD.

No, you replied to me. You even used the word "you".

The "thread" can't post, only people can. If you are going to voice your opinion on
the scam issue - and use the word "you" - reply to some who feels it's a scam.


OK - not replying to anyone in particular, but someone needs to get a
thicker skin, and some people need to learn more about electric and
hybrid vehicles.
With today's energy costs - both gasoline and electric - even here in
Ontario, where our electricity costs are on the high side - if not the
most expensive in North America, then very close, electric vehicles
make sense on the energy cost basis. That's even on full electrics and
plug-in hybrids.

The North American power grid could not support the power requirements
if everyone switched to electric - for sure - as far as the carbon
footprint etc - a large power plant CAN be a lot more efficient and a
lot cleaner than an internal combustion engine powered fleet - even if
it is all fossil fuel fired. More power plants would be required, and
they could be MUCH better than the existing plants.

Hybrid vehicles make sense in MOST driving - particularly in urban
stop and go driving.(where net grid power requirements can often be
ZERO or very close due to regenerative braking and normal driving
totally recharging the battery.) The net efficiency is high because
the combination of battery and IC engine power is pretty well
optimized.
