There's a good but short article in the August 21 Motor Trend about the reality of battery-powered cars and their "real" emissions.

These people in charge mandating (dictating) these changes need to “circle back” and take a complete look at what it takes to produce, operate and maintain the electric buggy. Dollars, labor, and pollution.

Anybody that’s had a emissions analyzer in the tailpipe of a modern vehicle can attest to how clean they run.

Remember the semi truck exhaust in the 60’s? And the zero power in the mountains?

You know, it's interesting, the Canadian politicians in Ottawa, our Washington, are mostly from the East, where they get NYC type
of weather. In the west, where in January & February it gets to
-30 and colder, with serious wind chills to - 50, the Hybrids & Teslas
battery's get ruined with great regularity. They have certainly enhanced
the towing business. I'll be buying the last year they make & sell a real
truck, & try to avoid the knee jerk reactions of unknowing Politicians.

One thousand pound battery with 300 mile range or 20 gallon gas tank with 120 pounds of gas to go 600 miles. Which is a better deal?

No need to blow a gasket. It doesn't even go into effect until 2035, and a lot could change by then.

Truedope is an idiot! The American libtards will try to follow suite but I think all electric vehicles will go over well like a fart in church. Let see an electric 3500 series dully Chevy/Ford/Dodge truck tow a stacker trailer 500 miles on a single charge. I don't think so!

Ask the folks in the Pacific Northwest how their electric cars fared with all the heat related blackouts.

Take this with a grain of salt because who knows what you can belive these days, but I saw an article the other day from a geologist that said there isn't enough lithium on the entire planet to be mined for all the planned electric vehicles. Why is U.S. & Canada trying to save the planet when 75% of the other countries on earth aren't on the same page?

What nobody talks about. They will have to dig up the whole planet, including the bottom of the ocean, to gather the minerals to scale electric car batteries. It makes drilling a hole in the ground not look so bad.

Government forced electric cars are not the answer. Let science, technology and engineering (Not Politics) lead the way ...

Scientists Found a Way to Make Synthetic Gasoline Out of Thin Air

Day-to-night temperature changes could reclaim CO2 into synthetic fuels.

Published: January 13, 2021 (TheDRIVE)

Chinese scientists have used nanoplates that generate power from temperature changes to create synthetic methanol, which could be a clean way of removing CO2 from the atmosphere, as well as generating e-fuels.

The paper, published in Nature Communications, describes a process of using the ambient temperature change over the course of a day to generate electricity, used to combine carbon dioxide from the air with water in order to make methanol.

With so many combustion vehicles already in service, the race to make carbon-reduced or even net-carbon-zero synthetic fuels is on. Porsche announced last year that they would be building an ambitious, renewable-powered plant in Chile to create 550 million liters (145 million gallons) of synthetic fuel by 2026.

The sad part is our kids are learning how to not hurt someones feelings instead of math and science, to help us lead the way in new fuel technology, while Chinese students fill our universities. Solar and wind will be laughed at in 20 years.

Was it on T.V??? Don't know, I watched the Nascar Race from Atlanta. I guess I wasn't being P.C. Oh well, my bad. I like noise.

This is why we have a new name for our northern neighbors. CANA-DUH !

SO tired of this CRAP! Know-nothing politicians are in for THEIR power only. We've NEVER been cleaner with all the regulations of the last (45) years. Remember Dad (or anyone) burying their used oil as well as anything they wanted to get rid of? We wouldn't even think of doing that now. Next time a whacko tree-hugger wants to argue the "fine points" of going green, substainability, etc., ask them how they plan to (fly) to California or vacation in Vancouver??!! (I'm on the east coast) And NEVER give in or compromise because it will never be enough. They see it as giving in and surrendering. Sheesh!

If everyone in Canada drove electric cars and did everything else The Trudope dictator has proposed it would do nothing to the worlds emission problems. We are 2 % of the problem. With countries like China pumping chemicals into the air and ocean at an out of control rate we cant fix it. Stop buying from gross polluting countries. The only hope we have up here is a civil war and take back what MY ancestors died for. JMHO

I hope they start digging in D.C. Nothing but idiots are there !

Yes, and a couple plane loads from Texas just made their way to DC to add to the problem.
BTW: Look how much Carbon just one volcano puts in the atmosphere in one day.
These "Green idiots" fail to look at the facts. Mankind is only a small player.
They are just falling for political movement to extort tax dollars.

'Zackly Adger. Manmade "Global Warming©" didn't kill those dinosaurs and if the weather records they like to tout "hottest day in 140 years"... then what caused it 140 years ago?
