It's far from a done deal ...

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?

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!
