Like lithium powered Chinese cars...the next Pinto...
I stated cars NOT road transport. Pickups vans and tractor trailers not included in forced bans, yet. Electric cars are viable ALTERNATIVES for urban dwellers though.
Look at California. Heavy road transport is not exempt. Where we lead, all y’all will follow. Furthermore,
that strikes me as downright medieval. If you’re from a one-horse town, have you no prospect of being more than a ranch hand or perhaps carpenter? Where in this hometown vision are our aerospace engineers and particle physicists (or sculptors) supposed to come from? If someone was born and raised into a backcountry dead end, (or worse, a place where a/the church dominated the community) that’s something to escape, not hallow.
Glad your particle physicist/aerospace engineer attitude thinks real working people are shameful and worthy of contempt.
so you don’t think of brainworkers as real working people; noted. It fits in with the rest of the rugged libertarian persona. “I built m’house with this-here ax!” Heaven forfend you ever need a neurologist.
North America is behind most places in adopting EVs, China and the EU are doing better, so far. Ranges will increase, charging times will decrease and costs will come down. It will offer many people living in the burbs and rurally energy independence for home and transportation. It will happen because it will make economic and practical sense to make the switch. Electric tractor trailers make sense when you realize that less than 1/3 of the main routes can be electrified with overhead wires and trucks can charge on the move using pantographs. Electric trucks have no gears and clutches making driverless trucks on the highways feasible. There are a couple of systems in the EU under test and the truck owners like the idea because it saves money, if trains can use such a system, it can charge cars too.
You don't think scientists work for a living? There is dignity in all work, even being a geek. "Working people" will adopt EVs, solar panels on their roofs, battery banks in their basements and heat pumps because it makes sense to do so. Yer granddaddy gave up the coal stove and got grid power for the same sensible reasons.
Had cold fusion been the promised Thing, we’d be back to *steam.
The news of book banning from America is stripping away the cover from the religious lunatics in Canada. America your sacrifice has not been in vain, and all those kids being thrown under the bus will help others in more sensible places. This place is a religious lunatic hotbed in Canada, so this sends a message.
Which place is a religious lunatic hotbed, Brandon? Hardly. Wrong side of the province, the eastern side (where many did not believe in covid) will have a greater percentage of less open people.Let's go Brandon!
Hopefully the message received by Joe Public is that Canada is not insulated from the lunacy that is happening South of us. The ignoramuses will certainly copy whatever they see happening down there and do their best to import it, like we have seen so often.Let's go Brandon!
