The public hears politicians prattle and knows the true worth of the words. If you're only going to half-azz it, why bother at all?
I sure don't see any less pickup trucks driving around the lower mainland .
People will change their tune on pipelines when there is no gas at the station .
Public sentiment Is not always in the public's best interest.
Electric cars are good for the hotel business since even the best ones have to stop every couple of hundred miles and get recharged. What I'm wondering is how they expect to get fresh food from California to Canada with trucks that need nearly their legal weight in batteries to make the trip or spend weeks on the road.
I can see it now :"Here you go sir, the three oranges you ordered last month. That will be $2759 for freight, BTW could I plug my truck in cor a couple of hours so I can get back to the yard?"
That's ok, because they are green. They will get tax credit under the Carbon taxes so the government will subsidizes the freight costs.
And the subsidy will be payed by companies who pollute. And once all the companies stop polluting. The costs of operation will have be given to the consumers.
That is true, but public sentiment is what drives the political machine. Don't get me wrong, I'm neither here nor there on the whole sustainable warming fossil climate thing, I've got good reasons to be on both sides of the fence. I'm just saying that the man-in-the-street opinions are leaning more and more towards the sentiment that the days are numbered for the burning of fossil fuels and be that an informed position or not, for many that means resisting any moves big oil might make to secure their future. I don't see it as a particularly intelligent position, and I think there is a lot of hypocrisy coming from people who drive their big Buicks to the polling station to mark their 'X' beside someone who spent their campaign money espousing the wisdom of David Suzuki. But like it or not, everybody gets a vote, and it is the nature of a politician to kowtow to anyone with a vote. And for the moment, given the dismal lack of progress on most pipeline projects I would say that the environmental vote has the politicians' ears, and there aren't a lot of reason to expect that sentiment to change.
Still, for a relatively new technology, EV's are showing an impressive curve of increasing unit sales. As of December 2015, there were over 400,000 highway capable, plug-in electric vehicles on the road in the US. And pre-orders for the Tesla Model 3, number at least that already. We're talking about a technology that has been widely available for what, four or five years now? Is there any reason to suspect this trend will not continue?
No your right stupidity is definitely on the rise. I can't see that trend changing. Good point.
electric cars!
all reet!
break out the coal fired hamsters!
and the nuclear river that's plugged into the frakking fault line!
You'll get a real $charge$ out of this news:
we gonna have green cars!
...and $$$Charging Stations$$$!!!
Say, where we going to put the batteries when they cack out?
(That's why its called green energy, that's the color kids turn when they drink the ground water)
any one remember Pierre Eliot Trudeau Rips Of CANada?
edit to add:
"Vehicle charging stations"...so the vehicles being driverless, will have their own bank cards...?
untouched by human hands

Have you seen what they charging for Hydro?
Duh!
This will be moved by unicorn drawn wagons.
I was told that they will be powered by the smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns and the soft purrs of little kittens
You could be on to something there with the freshly baked kittens. Definitely a renewable resource in my neighbourhood.
