I’ve been hearing this bull **** about “renewable” energy since at least 1981 and I haven’t see it yet.
I love that it’s called “technology”. That’s the catch all phrase when the media is trying to shove something up the *** of the public they don’t really want. Take the 4 stroke dirt bike. A big, heavy, expensive slow revving pig that is so inefficient that they have to double the displacement to make it competitive.
And what did the media say?? Its the “new” technology”. And some of the public bought that crap. When KTM released the finger follower valve train the media kept saying it was “F1 technology” but I’d bet the vast majority of the dirt bike media has seen anything F1 except in pictures. Yet they leg humped it to the moon.
BTW, gasoline does not come from “fossils”. It never has. It is made in the earth. That’s why old wells can be uncapped and they will produce 60-70% of what they produced at peak. It’s because they fill back up.
Let them sit a couple hundred years and they will produce 100% of what they did when first drilled. So crude oil is a renewable natural resource.
The mining and such to produce batteries worth a crap is far more detrimental to the environment than any part of the crude oil logistical layout.
What about things like freight hauling??? Battery powered Semi trucks? That’s a riot. What about trains?? I know they use some form of electric motor but they have to burn diesel to do it.
Both of the above examples have to motivate in varied environments, climates, elevation and over diverse geographical areas. How I the hell is a battery going to do that. How far do you think an 80,000 pound truck and trailer will go through the snow, up hill? How fast can it do it? How long will it do it? I guess to the tree huggers is all that matter is electric everything and ignore the logistical and control issues that they involve. Those trucks are way too slow as it is now. You’d have to add 40,000 pounds of batteries to make it go. How long to charge? How often does it need to be charged? What about 8 and 9 axle truck and trailer stuff that can gross 105,500 pounds? What battery requirements for that? Do we increase the total GVW to make it happen, or reduce the GVW by the weight of the batteries???? If you do the former, the roads won’t take the extra load. Damn. That makes everything more expensive when you have to rebuild all the roads. But the DC dullards never think that far out. And what if we keep the GVW the same, but reduce the load carrying ability by the weight of the batteries??? Oh goodie? We still have to move the same amount of freight. So then what??? Way more trucks on the road and all that ****.
There are no good solutions to any of these questions. At least I’ve never heard any real answers to them.
What about ocean going vessels? Think they will work on electric motors? No way.
So all you unicorn riding, pixie dust sniffing, Santa Claus believing fools better wake up and see this is nothing more than a way to control the population. Just like mass transit, the most worthless, inefficient method of moving people there is. But the granola eating, sandal wearing communists love that ****. The funny thing is the vast majority of them have never used mass transit.
It’s not fear or ignorance that makes me not like electric powered vehicles. It history. You see, the gasoline powered internal combustion engine already beat out steam and electric locomotion a century ago. Sure did. And why was that?
Go back and dig for the history in it. The electric crowd said the same **** then they are saying today. And everyone else said exactly what I say. How will you power them? How will you recharge them? To build the infrastructure to do that was criminally abusive to the environment that the freaks said they wanted to say.
The “green” movement isn’t new. It’s communism wrapped in lies and deceit. It’s about control. All you fools just lived through the biggest population control effort since the planned Arab oil embargo and the “oil crisis” that went with it. And it appears the vast majority didn’t learn a damned thing from it. Go back and study that. And while you are digging through the history books, have a look at the lie of peak oil.
What a crock of bullshit. I get tired of hearing that some of you aren’t afraid of “new technology”. It’s what idiots say when they have no idea what is happening. They have zero knowledge of history of the not so long past, and they can’t learn from the history they live through. But they love to Pat each other on the back and tell everyone how proud they are in their own ignorance.
The end game is control of the population. Simple as that. Wake up.
