Electric cars a bad idea?

[Scott Harness]

Just make sure my social security is covered.

Social Security is neither!

ok, Canada law allows you (at least in Ontario) to convert regular car/truck to electric but: The ministry may, at any time, cancel the vehicle permit of a registered converted electric vehicle if the vehicle fails to satisfy
any other vehicle standards which may be introduced in the future. /

Exactly.


Now maybe the current technologies still aren't to the point of making electric cars viable as all-purpose vehicles, but at least attempts are being made to come up with alternatives. And in my opinion, that is where the focus should be maintained, as opposed to only pointing out perceived problems or failings.

If you do not point out the perceived problems and weaknesses you cant solve the problem and make it better. Like nuclear if you concentrate on the low pollution and almost unlimited power potential but ignore the problem of disposing of the waste you create a biggeer problem than you started with, You cant think 1 dimensional and solve a problem

Well here's your problem. You neglected part of what I said to suit yourself.

What I said was "if you ONLY point out perceived problems or failings", because only doing that, you're not going to solve any problems either.

I couldn't find a fatalities per gallon of fuel sold or something like that. We couldn't really use miles, since we have no idea how many miles folks are driving.

Water isalread a scarce resource and in many parts of teh world businessess are locking up water rights. If millions of cars start running on water the rewsource gets even more scarce and more expensive. Not to mention just think of how releasing all that water vapor is going to set of the global warming crowd.

Ok wow, use cisterns to colect rain water. Practicaly zero impact on drinking sorces. Hell you can even pee in it if you have too. As far as desert areas, use gas still.

In this desert area we have less than 9 inches a year. The ground water is so full of minerals and chemicals your dish washer develops a layer of scale in months. That would seriously F%^* you engine up. In addition you cant even put a well in as all water has been alloted to certain uses including a minimum amount to protect fish. Many areas aroung the world have droughts on a regular basis so not enough to drink let alone power a car. California has been on 40% usage for 2 years what do you think would happen if all their cars ran on water too?

Instead they have time to tell us all what they don't know!

I heard part of a report last week talking about electric car sales, it mentioned how the companies were ramping up the assembly lines even though sales are so low. (trying to force something folks aren't buying). They mentioned that only 250 volts have sold, and only 10 Nissan leafs. As said, I'm not sure if that was state wide(Indiana) or nationally

hey, spens some money on solar panels and electric car - free Sun energy for desert area and california

But the city I live in does not allow solar panels at private residences inside the city limits. However the government and schools can use tax payer resources to put them up on their buildings. Also across the river (which private citizens are not allowed to even drill wells close to and steal those resources from whom the government allots them to) They have an old coal powered power plant they closed down and were going to switch to solar but apparently the solar arrays will interfere with the local turtle population.

Also I rent the land lord may take a dim view of my modifying the domicile plus since it costs more to instal then the energy you will save since the local utility gets any excess energy you do not use and does not pay you for it is it really a good idea.

I think maybe I will pack up my VX and head to Russia to regain my freedom
