Stop whining you Biden loving kghunt.

Good morning Clark.
Pretty sweet here in the Glades this morning.

Sitting here at Skunkape Headquarters enjoying my coffee.

Only thing disrupting the perfect solitude is the gas guzzling cars I hear in the distance roaring across the Tamiami Trail.

To bad their isn't more silent EVs on the road, maybe some day.

One of the earth's biggest threats, that no one is mentioning is clear cutting the tropical rain forests of the world. Creating a large gap in the CO2 cycle.

I'm pretty sure someone said that about computers a couple of decades ago.

My money is staying on something that burns.

And then there is this. I had a friend that new him personally. He said the oil companies bought him out and cave him a new car. Tom, was told no more inventing…. Well he couldn’t leave it alone. My late friend said, we all warned him. He ended up dead in the desert…

Brah!

I was in North Port and Venice all weekend.

Lot more white people out that way!

(Not that it matters of course)

Yeah.

I’ll take coal and candles any day over this stupid battery/electric schit.

This place is dead, all the tourists are gone.

Funny thing, zero flying insects, no skeeters..

This pond outside my door is chock full of Pecock Bass and they are hiting flies...

Nice.

I got a little Gheeno I should give you for that thing.

No title but it doesn’t look like you need one. Lol

Teslas don't get a tax incentive.

It's pretty simple. It will work when somebody figures out how to make electricity from electricity without using more electricity than they make making electricity.

We dam near brought a Gheeno with a 10hp down with us.
We'd have had to either left the bike or drove two rigs.

Decided We'd just bring the bike.

I want to get back out in the 10K Islands for some flats fishing and camping.
Looks like that will happen in November now.

Maybe put a windmill on top of the car? Perpetual motion machine baby.

Yes BUT after we have gone to 100% renewable, then they do make emissions sense because you can't otherwise power a car with wind, solar, or whatever else they have in mind.

EV's have their place, but obviously not everywhere. And no I don't have one or see one in my future.

I see a lot of EV’s around Charleston and, for personal transportation in an urban or suburban environment they make a lot of sense. Are they at a point in their development where they can meet everyone’s needs? Of course not. Neither were IC vehicles ten or 20 years into their common usage. My Uncle Earnie was still farming completely with horses until he got his first tractor in 1947. He still used horses after that as well.

My wife’s next car may well be an electric. It would make a lot of sense. She seldom drives more than 10 or 15 miles from home. If we go further, we take my truck. If she travels for work the airport’s 15 minutes from here. I’m hoping she decides to get one. I’d like some long-term, first hand experience with one so when the topic comes up on here I can have an informed opinion.

Our SIL recently got a Toyota Rav4 plug-in hybrid. He charges it at night and it'll go 42 miles before the engine kicks in. Most days, unless he runs around after work, the engine doesn't start at all. Their power rates are 2/3 lower after 10pm so plugging it in just before bed saves them some $$. It works for them.

Not directly, but Tesla makes a TON of money from selling the "carbon credits" it earns from the government to other automakers. Like, billions of dollars worth. All set up by the government to transfer wealth.

Electric vehicles are to control your travels. Right no power, no charging, you stay home.

People who buy them do.
