The case for EV is considerably more complicated today than in the 1900's. If the argument was which is the most cost effective and reliable transportation without government's fat thumb on the scale, the EV would be no more than 5% of the market. Today so many people are convinced the end of the earth is just around the corner while others see climate alarm as an opportunity for control of the masses. These are the drivers of this developing technology today. Just like the push for Ethanol lead to far more BTU's used to produce the Ethanol than it produces while increasing the use of fertilizer and the reduction of food crops, both of which are undesirable unintended consequences. The future will view this EV push in much the same light. Bad environmental decisions to fix a problem that doesn't exist leading to a massive redistribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy and connected.

What is this problem that doesn't exist?

The earth is great at sequestering carbon, it was well on its way to being a giant dead dirt ball. So, what do humans start doing? Sequestering the gas that greens the earth.

You gravely underestimate the amount of review EPA takes into consideration when establishing policy. You have not clue how the process works and all the industry experts involved. Sure, they make mistakes but things do get reconciled, revised, etc. Sometimes EPA has to push hard. If they didn't push hard, we wouldn't have catalytic converter technology because automakers pushed extremely hard back in 70s not to have the tech go thru. Could you imagine a populated world now that smells like Grudge Night at the drag strip? Ever sat behind a 1970 car at idle? It will make your eyes water. |

Why is it meaningless? It is testing the batteries for survivable impacts.

In simple terms he's explaining in the graph that basically there is no noticeable climate change from when time began and when prehistoric reptiles were made extinct, gubments have completely overreacted listening to climate control madmen forcing unwanted EV's onto an easy target public.

The newest theme, now that rational people have injected geology and paleontology science into the discussion, is anthropogenic-acceleration of the "short term" climate. There is no short term or long term climate, there is just climate. Any modeling of GHG effect tied to climate cycle and the resulting purposeful anthropogenic manipulation of climate drivers is merely Man's futile effort to keep the climate static. ALL the data collected so far indicates there is no such thing as a static climate. If Man thinks he has the capability to offset plate tectonics and orbital performance of the planet to keep the climate static to prolong his window of time as a species on the Earth to either delay or forgo his extinction, well, I just have to laugh. What I fear is the very near term effects such ideas will have on the economy and continuation of a bountiful food source. It is proven that Totalitarian governments have been known to starve to death tens of millions of people in the span of decades. Rather than scare the living shit out of the children by telling them they are killing the planet, we should be teaching them proper economic theory. That is far more important to their health and well being. The planet takes care of itself. |

Watchdog questions accuracy of EPA’s scientific integrity Investigators had first expressed concern in 2011 that employees might not be familiar with the agency’s scientific integrity guidelines. But following the most recent report — given to the agency in June and made public in August — investigators said the EPA has taken action to correct the problems. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...cientific-int/ |

You dont know the difference between a survivable impact/crash and non-survivable then. Airbags, seatbelts, emergency exits, crash structures, fire extinguishers, survival kits, rafts, lifevests, ELTs, etc., all exist because there is a threshold of Gs and forces that define survivable vs non-survivable. Please come back to reality.

OOPS. . I thought they didn't catch fire when there is a "survivable impact"?
Heatherwilde Boulevard at Texas 45 in Pflugerville shut down by electric vehicle fire. April 1, 2024 A crash and a fire involving an electric vehicle has closed Heatherwilde Boulevard in both directions at Texas 45 in Pflugerville, officials said Monday morning. Police are asking drivers in the area to seek an alternative route as traffic is being diverted. The intersection is closed and crews will remain on scene until fire is extinguished, officials with Travis County ESD 2 said on its Facebook page. They said fires involving electronic vehicles require different tactics then typical vehicle fires and that many times the best tactic is to let the vehicle burn. |

Chesco family says EV charger nearly caught home on fire: What you should know
Friday, April 5, 2024 That outlet was the EV charger used for his Tesla. He showed us the charred and melted piece of plastic is what's left. Belcraft also wondered what could have happened if his senses had not alerted him. "My daughter's bedroom is right above the garage. I called a master electrician independent from the builder who came out and said we were minutes from a house fire," he recalled. "But an EV charger can go for 10-12 hours at full capacity," he said. "These wires can't cool off. They're in the walls with insulation, and before you know it there's a fire." It's information Becraft wished he knew. He told us a master electrician said his issue was a substandard outlet and the wires were not torqued down correctly. He is now set up with a wall box and a dedicated circuit in his electrical panel. "I learned that these setups are very common," he added. Experts also told us some counties and municipalities also require a permit to install a charging station inside your home. https://6abc.com/chester-county-pa-f...-car/14617760/ Why in the world would a permit not be required to install a 220volt outlet? |
