Is Canada ready for the coming electric vehicle revolution?
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
I don't understand the obsession with electricity. We have billions of bushels of oil and gas, but we've about run out of rivers to dam and acreage for habitat. People have to smarten up and quit swallowing this G.W. bull shit.
indeed you do not understand.
The money that EV save is really secondary to the gas they do not burn. That is why people want them.
So while you are free to believe whatever you like please extend the same courtesy to the thousands of people who want to switch to EVs and stop burning gas,
It doesn't seem like that should be that big a deal for you.

What will replace taxes lost from gasoline?
Will paying 70 cents a kWh to charge up float your boat?

It's fast in the very short term, but has no legs for distance at those speeds.
People in the luxury car market aren't looking for a 1/4 mile car
Funny how that works
Already being done
Construction of the EVs in addition to the large resources required to mine the rare earth's for the batteries offset any gains made on '0' emissions.
On that note, the expended batteries can only be recycled so far prior to them being useless, leaving a cocktail of toxic components and heavy metals to be buried in landfills across the globe.
.... Hardly the eco friendly circumstance that is being advertised
Sounds like you got 12MPG and it didn't matter if you were sitting at the lights or hauling ass down an open road.
What I don't understand is your obsession to switch from the energy we have to the one we don't have!
For you I guess, for me it's a no brainer! I fully agree with starting to get things in place ready for a switch over 100 years from now, short of damming up rivers and confusing fish. Let's at least get some use out of the $billions of dollars we have invested in equipment for extracting and transporting oil before we throw it on the scrap pile. How many man years do we have invested in training alone for participating in the industry? Give it some thought and quit spewing nonsense!
I had a 9 volt battery that only worked for a few hours once
Prove it.
Stop using them
Yes- and those Tesla roadsters are SO VERY POPULAR I HAVE YET TO SEE ONE ON ANY TORONTO ROAD!!!!!
LIE-berals only support electric TOY cars because of the grvy they hope to skim off from selling their mouldy green electricity to us at HUGE PROFITS!!!!
LIE-berals are trying to make our electrical system over into a vast gravy generating giant monopoly to compete with and destroy the oil industry!!!!
LIE-berals are trying to make their personal greed into a national virtue!!!!
LIE-beral boast of the road ripping acceleration of their electric Toy cars while at the same time Toronto City Council discusses REDUCING speed limits on city streets to thirty kilometers per hour!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-beral logic is like a dizzy puppy trying to catch its own tail!!!!!!
Major market shift
While electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in urban centers like Vancouver and Victoria, much of rural B.C. still has concerns.
Michelle Mungall, provincial energy minister and MLA for Nelson-Creston, says electric vehicles will be an important part of reducing B.C.'s carbon emissions. But she says her constituents have concerns about the adoption of new technology when their cars are such essential lifelines.

How much oil revenue is enough?
Here is a better and BIGGER QUESTION:
How much gravy does it take to supply the LIE-beral list of entitlements?
Big week in e vehicle history.
