You can do a one hour quick charge and shave 70% of the battery life off.
Or I could be like the twits in Vancouver who left their electric car plugged in while they went on vacation. They came back to a burned down house. So much for them reducing their carbon footprint. :lol:

Oh fer sure man. I know when I'm travelling along the highway, nothing makes the trip more enjoyable than stopping every 30 miles to fuel up. Hell, even my old gas-guzzling '69 Super Bee with a 6 pack did better than 30 miles between fill ups..

Yes, I get that we will be investing more into infrastructure and energy efficiency.

But think of the boom to the services. While your ride is feeding so will you. And then you will need a place to sleep and mindless entertainment while you wait.

A construct built on the monstrous fraud of AGW.. ideologies of a feather (Global Free Market Capitalism and AGW) flock together.. vultures picking on the ruins of the West's economy.

* note - somewhat unfair to vultures who are noble scavengers who keep the hinterland clean... there's nothing clean or noble about GFMC or AGW.

There is a great whoosh sound and people wonder what it is.
What it is is the last remains of independence and control of
our own national wealth is being flushed down the toilet by
idiots. That bobbing in the bowl? our heads floating around
one more time before the great flush goes down.
We are being sold out by governments and companies and it
will be a long struggle to get our country back

We shouldn't have any free trade deals unless all parties are on equal humanitarian footing.

Whew!... Had to catch my breath on that great gag.

Thanks Flossy

Canada, the United States and Mexico will sign a trilateral agreement Friday that could mark the start of discussions on the first North American accord on climate change and clean energy.

I wonder if this will be like Kyoto!

Has Canada got around to paying the billions owed yet?

We're still waiting for an invoice... Once we gat that, I'll make sure that it gets on the agenda for discussion at some point soon... Maybe... Probably not

Well let's put it this way Pete. Our former governor lost 600K+ of state taxpayer money in a solar company. The company took the cash, closed shop and moved whatever was left to China. After the debacle Gov. Patrick said it was a good investment and that he'd do it again if he had the chance.

That is what we are dealing with.
Eagle,
If you think your Governor is a trip think about us in California getting glowing reports of how well our state is doing and we have 2 Bonds that we are now 4 years overdue in paying off. And he is still spending. Jerry Brown is as full of BS as a stuffed Holiday Turkey!

This is why Harper lost the election:

"For years the American government has been trying to talk to Canada about clean energy and unfortunately they kept hearing back about pipelines," he said. "It was a bit of a dialogue of the deaf.

"Now, we are finally catching up to where our allies are, and that will make the conversation and relationship a more effective one."

Anyone who endorses Donald Trump is part of the reason why Liberals lead.

You guys are constantly angry and dismissive, so you shouldn't be surprised when the door shuts on you come ejection time.
