Erik is so clueless as to what needs to be done to get to a significant amount of EVs. Those advocating for EVs are often the same ones that are the first to say no to a new lithium mine in their state. He doesn’t mention that it takes well over 10 years just to get a permit for a new mine. He also doesn’t mention the…

You’re right Smurph. Here in California we constantly have ‘flex alerts’ telling us to reduce our power consumption to avoid blackouts. I can’t imagine our grid being able to handle even 10% EVs. California will say yes to new solar and wind power, but they say no to new power lines, nuclear power, or even gas plants.

That’s the problem with the environmentalists, they say no to everything, no matter what. Yes you can have clean drinking water, a safe environment, and an auto factory with 12,000 jobs too. Too bad some people are too stubborn to see that.

I’d love to let my car do the driving on a long drive on the freeway.

Ford Tempo, 1984, our first new car. Ford’s slogan then was ‘The quality goes in before the name goes on’. Had it for 36,000 miles, three transmissions, two air conditioner compressors, and numerous things falling apart. POS for sure. Was happy to get rid of that for my 88 Chevy Nova (Toyota Corolla) which was built…

Not to mention that more than 80% of the land in Nevada is owned by the federal government.

What is Bucee? Is that some type of hamburger?

You nailed that one right.

I still can’t see Uber and Lift’s path to profitability. They are not really ride sharing companies so much as they are a taxi service. Add in the regulations soon to come, the low driver pay, and driver costs of insuring and maintaining his vehicle, and there is just not enough money in it except for management. If…

The car producing states won’t have to give up their money, they’ll just find a way to produce BEVs profitably. They are already on their way. The real problem is the infrastructure. Here’s the thing, the environmentalists are all for electric vehicles but as soon as you say we need to open new mines to get the…

As a Boomer I gotta tell you guys: PEAK MUSCLE CAR IS RIGHT NOW. Todays cars are by and large are faster, handle better, more efficient, and more dependable. Hands down, end of story, and don’t let some old coot like me try to convince you otherwise.

I almost went for it, but when I read ‘not okay boomer’ I thought about it and No Dice.

Most of the 80's cars were pretty boring. Think Toyota Corolla, Buick Century and dozens of others that no one remembers. It wasn’t until the Mustang GT came out (I think ‘84) that performance came back. Then of course there was the perirenal best seller Ford F series pickup. I was glad to get rid of my rolling turd…

The EV timeline may be too aggressive, though I think the technology is ready, the grid is not, charging stations are not, mining of metals is not. While EV’s are great for most homeowners, it’s going to be a long time before people who park on the street have a place to plug in. Washington probably has it right on…

Here in the desert north of L.A. California we have many new bike lanes often having taken the place of a traffic lane, thus causing more traffic congestion. The bike lanes are mostly empty because the area doesn’t lend itself well to biking because everything is so spread out. People live far from work and shopping…

Love that you can just scroll down and see every picture. Interesting and easy to read. Nice job on that one Jason.

No, Libertarians just believe there aint no such thing as a free lunch. They are not opposed to these things, they just believe that the farther way your tax dollars go away from the taxpayers the more that gets wasted. The federal government should not be doing that which the states won’t do, it should only be doing…

They want to spend billions on public transit that nobody uses and further subsidize Amtrak, and the whole point is to just benefit a few? It’s time for those that use those things start paying their fair share.

I disagree with Raphael who says the government should subsidize EV’s. The markets should determine who buys them. Giving rich people subsidies to buy their electric cars makes no sense. Soon EV’s will win the war anyways because they will be cheaper, require less maintenance, and will make more sense for more…
