The Real Consequences of Going Green (Electric) Pt.1

This is to show you how our representatives in Washington are under the control of the businesses who are trying to sell us the slop that some so called smart people have come up to make money.

INTERESTING -  ONE OTHER QUESTION. IF ELECTRIC CARS DO NOT USE GASOLINE, THEY WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN PAYING A GASOLINE TAX ON EVERY GALLON THAT IS SOLD FOR AUTOMOBILES, WHICH WAS ENACTED SOME YEARS AGO TO HELP TO MAINTAIN OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES. THEY WILL USE THE ROADS, BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR THEIR MAINTENANCE!

In case you were thinking of buying hybrid or an electric car:

Ever since the advent of electric cars, the REAL cost per mile of those things has never been discussed. All you ever heard was the mpg in terms of gasoline, with nary a mention of the cost of electricity to run it. This is the first article I’ve ever seen and tells the story pretty much as I expected it to

Electricity has to be one of the least efficient ways to power things yet they’re being shoved down our throats.  Glad somebody finally put engineering and math to paper.

At a neighborhood BBQ I was talking to a neighbor, a BC Hydro executive.  I asked him how that renewable thing was doing.  He laughed, then got serious.  If you really intend to adopt electric vehicles, he pointed out, you had to face certain realities.  For example, a home charging system for a Tesla requires 75 amp service.  The average house is equipped with 100 amp service.  On our small street (approximately 25 homes), the electrical infrastructure would be unable to carry more than three houses with a single Tesla, each.  For even half the homes to have electric vehicles, the system would be wildly over-loaded.

This is the elephant in the room with electric vehicles.  Our residential infrastructure cannot bear the load. So as our genius elected officials promote this nonsense, not only are we being urged to buy these things and replace our reliable, cheap generating systems with expensive, new windmills and solar cells, but we will also have to renovate our entire delivery system!  This latter "investment" will not be revealed until we're so far down this dead end road that it will be presented with an 'OOPS...!' and a shrug.

As the years pass, more and more of our citizens become dumber and dumber

as they are increasingly incapable of reading and reflecting; instead having their

nose embedded in some phone/tee-vee device.

So let's consider the fantasy of the electric car.

Around 1908, Henry Ford commissioned Thomas Edison, the Father of Electricity,

to assess the economic feasibility of powering his Model T

w/electricity rather than gasoline.

Incidentally, both were life long friends and colleagues.

After a year of study Edison delivered his verdict.

Given the level of technological development present at that time,

the Electric Car was NOT economically feasible!

Might the future produce the required level?

Perhaps, as change is a hallmark of our worldly existence but

most emphatically we have not crossed that Rainbow Bridge as yet.

How many know this story much less who Ford and Edison were???

When citizens wise up and begin thinking for themselves, rather than

allowing themselves to be beguiled by our jurno/politico assholery cabal;

we will get real change.Otherwise we won't.

Thgat still doesn't negate the down side of electric vehicles on the world economy.
