And yet those were gasoline powered cars on fire were they not? Try again - this time with a reply that makes sense.
Guess you better take out your cell phone and put it where the sun doesn't shine. It can join all the ideas you pull out of there.
Here is a fun question: "why do LIE-berals INSIST that it is easier to force people out of their cars than it is to simply reduce the pensions paid to civil service union Hogs in order to get their fat backsides out of airplanes"?
Airplanes are proven as the absolutely most fuel hog machines on the planet so curbing their use gets much faster results- WITHOUT destroying the economy- as a forced switch to electric toy cars would do!
Pity poor Bar silly sister- he is loosing the argument and pissing off the people he is trying to sway with his muddled thoughts, lack of economic theory and general dictatorship of his Soviet command style economy!
He will NEVER get the kind of gravy eh THINKS he is entitled to- and that is the ONLY THING LIE-beral electric TOY vehicles will produce if dictators like Bar Silly sister have their way!
This is why Muslims have not made anything useful in 1000 years- the Imams- those closed minded old farts must approve or it doesnt get done- hence nothing IS done!
Now we should talk about the Cdn experience with the electric TOY vehicles that LIE-berals and their NDP idiot cousins want to dump on us:
Here is an article illustrating that LIE-berals are pathetically SLOW learners! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Mayor John Tory gets behind wheel of electric bus as part of new TTC program
cbc.ca. By Muriel Draaisma
Mayor John Tory got a firsthand look on Saturday at three different types of "all-electric eBuses" on Saturday that the TTC will test before it receives 30 by early next year.
The fully electric buses, which have zero emissions and no diesel components, are manufactured by three companies, BYD, New Flyer and Proterra. The TTC is expecting to get 30 in all, 10 from each manufacturer, for a total cost of $50 million by March 2019. The federal and provincial governments are contributing funds.
(Ah- LIE-berals LOVE their crappy and costly electric toy vehicles!)
After getting behind the wheel of one of the demonstration buses at Richview Collegiate Institute, Tory told reporters in Etobicoke the TTC is aiming to have a "zero-emissions" fleet by 2040.
"I don't think people know yet of the big push that we have on in the city of Toronto to move our fleet to be emissions free by 2040. That sounds like a long way away but you have to start," Tory said at Ward 4 Community Environment Day. Mayor John Tory says the TTC will begin testing the buses 'in our climate, on our streets' next spring.
(Yes- twice before Toronto Silly Hall FOOLS have drunk the coolaid and bought “green busses” that always cost about fifty percent MORE than conventional busses and which have rapidly developed assorted mechanical problems and thus far have always utterly FAILED to produce the sort of fuel savings that were the main reason for buying the busses!)
"We are very serious in the city about making our greenhouse gas emission reduction targets that we have set," he said.
(That`s nice- but the city is STONY BROKE and is facing an array of costly problems so how can they justify buying these EXPERIMENTAL machines? Surely the dead broke city should be letting others take the fiscal risks to prove or disprove the value of this THIRD GENERATION of green busses- especially as the first two generations were utter failures? Clearly, political POSTURING on climate issues trumps common sense and logic at Silly Hall! But LIE-berals never consider any price to high to impede their virtue signalling and self congratulatory announcements!)
(And does this purchase of electric busses signal some sort of disappointment at the vehicles Bombardier is supposed to be supplying- but has not done? We know TTC brass went before a judge trying to get the Bombardier contract cancelled due to deliveries being so hugely behind schedule- coupled with a series of damaging quality control issues on the few vehicles that were delivered! The judge refused to annul the contract and told TTC to be patient- and then Our idiot Boy Justin gave Toronto some money so it could cobble its old diesel machines together till Bombardier actually delivered its products- and we all know LIE-berals DO SO enjoy buying votes in Quebec and good business practices be damned! LIE-berals will say nothing against their bought and paid for union Hog allies in Quebec- no matter the scale or scope of their failings!)
Tory explained TTC buses contribute to the degradation of the environment through the use of diesel fuel, but the city and transit agency are determined to use greener technology through its eBus program. The TTC will test the buses "in our climate, on our streets" next spring, Tory said.
(So they are spending huge money they do not have to test out THIRTY BUSSES? Why not test out ONE from each of the three makers? Or is TTC THAT SHORT of equipment and that broke that they are prepared to take all manner of risks just so long as some sort of machines get on the streets swiftly? And we know that both federal and provincial LIE-berals offered up grant money as part of their commitment to mouldy “green” policy so at least the city is not wasting ALL its own money? LIE-berals are so obsessed with green technology one has to assume they are getting a personal cut of the profits from the sale of these gizmos! And of course the more electricity we use- for any reason- the more gravy the private sector LIE-beral pals who actually own our electrical system will skim off for their profit!)
Buses to make Toronto 'a greener city'
"With Earth Day coming up tomorrow, we thought it was an important day to showcase this initiative being undertaken by the TTC, which will save us money on the diesel fuel. It'll save emissions from harming from the environment," he said.
"And it really will just continue to move us into the vanguard of cities, in terms of being a greener city and meeting our climate change obligations and our greenhouse gas reductions."
(If Silly Hall LIE-berals were truly concerned about the environment and wanted to at least try to catch up to the “vanguard of cities” then they would immediately derail the civil service union Hog gravy train and start building MORE TRANSIT! Its what Rob Ford did to get Eglinton LRT rolling! Its what our current crop of LIE-berals SHOULD DO -to get the needed subways built- but they wont as they have already spent pour money buying Hogs! LIE-berals have signed FOUR YEAR contracts with provincial Hogs and locked up govt spending for that time! NO matter who becomes the next premier of Ontari-owe- their fiscal hands will be tied by LIE-beral schemes!)
Bem Case, the TTC's head of vehicle programs, said tests will measure how fast the buses travel, the range they can achieve, how well they perform in different temperatures, how their doors open depending on the weather and their corrosion.
"The buses are entirely new to us," Case said.
The TTC board, which approved the purchase last November, will install the necessary infrastructure to power the vehicles, including charging equipment and software.
In a November 2017 staff report, the TTC said the electric buses embody the future for the transit agency, which has about 2,000 buses in its fleet.
"Electric buses are the only truly green technology with the potential for zero emissions from generation through to bus operations. Electric buses have no tailpipe emissions, and in Ontario, generation of electricity for overnight charging is 100% nuclear and completely free of GHG emissions," the report reads.
(How do these hypocrites figure nuclear power is GREEN? Are they totally oblivious to the almost daily shipments of Tritium coolant and other radio active waste being sent down highway 401 to the massive concrete bunker/burial sites where OPG stores its radioactive slop? Some of this slop will need major storage facilities for up to 20,000 YEARS and want to bet NO LIE-beral has ever counted out the carbon foot print for all the excavation that will be required, plus all the toxic lead shielding and massive concrete bunkers that will be needed! Nuclear generators produce a LOT of power fairly cheaply but to suggest it is Zero Emission is a LIE-beral Fake News story!)
The report notes the electric bus industry is "so new" that there are no large-scale fleets in long term operations anywhere in North America and therefore testing is crucial.
(So I REPEAT: WHY is dead broke Toronto taking the financial risk with such unproven and costly technology?)
Public transit is already environmentally friendly, the report added. "By its nature, mass transit is green," it says.
But adopting new technology too quickly can cause such problems as unreliable vehicles, low customer and operator satisfaction, and high maintenance and operation costs, it adds.
(In other words- adopting new technology too quickly can lead to exactly the sort of problems the previous two generations of “green” TTC busses had! In addition- adopting new technology can lead to the sort of problems TTC had with their Presto car readers! Yet more proof of BAD LIE-beral business practice since they were warned that Presto was the newest and most costly and least tested card reader system available- but they went ahead anyway- with inevitable bad results!)
"As the TTC operates the largest bus fleet in Canada and the third largest in North America, however, we also have a role to play in the advancement of technologies that promise to offer significant safety, environmental, vehicle reliability, customer focused improvements."
(And maybe Silly Hall spending priorities are DEAD WRONG? Maybe they should leave the risks of developing an entirely new industry to others and worry about repairing social housing before it is ALL condemned as unfit to live in- as those 150 plus townhouses in the Jane/Finch area were last summer! Yes- over 150 city owned slum dwellings were torn down because they were to rotten to repair! So instead if simply repairing existing units- the city now has to find the EXTRA money to start over again from nothing with those units!)
(And the city has yet to do anything about Gardiner Expressway- except to quietly decide to let it DIE of neglect! Silly Hall would rather tear down Gardiner and close off portions of the city rather than make needed repairs! The Silly Hall War on Cars is in full swing- but they have yet to build ANY new transit as a desperately needed alternative! Toronto Silly Hall is driving blind and bankrupt into the future! The wonderful Silly Hall vision of the future is clouded by gravy!)
