Sweden, 2020: the world's first oil-free economy

No matter how much progress there is, it is never good enough. The news cycle is run on a constant scream of CRISIS, so no solution ever seems possible. You need the next crisis. This part of the argument makes sense. The American people have not been willing to accept electric only cars because they want 400 miles on a charge and that is simply not possible with present battery technology. Actually, it's not the American people - it's the Corporation's view of what the American people want -- which, like the Repugs, is divorced from Reality. Totally absurd. If you marketed a cost-effective electric-powered car that had performance on par with gas-powered, you'd make gajillions. Corporate schmorporate. Wrong. Such a car is not available or I would have one already. What part of the word "IF" is too complicated for you, Bill? The point is it's not some Rebublican Corporate Conspiracy dictating what Americans want (see the comment to which I replied); it's that no one's come up with something viable (and desirable) yet. BS (comprehension) Hey, BS (appropriate initials), They have done studies and found that the average American thinks he can have it all, but in reality, you can't. Maybe we should get you an atomic powered car (with no lead shielding, of course), then you could get a bazillion miles per pellet. A short range battery only car would be very viable. Adding a fuel cell or aux. engine would only add weight and lessen the efficiency, key word is efficiency, not have your cake and eat it too. Americans are spoiled rotten. Other countries don't have everyone in a land yacht, so why us???? Bill Baka |
