Would I be the only one surprised if this doesn’t break into the 5's?

Highway miles to/from work are probably some of the safest miles people can drive. Its the reason Tesla’s autopilot is doing just that, and why they try to brag about safety when really they didn’t compare apples to apples.

I’ve really wondered why plug-in hybrids haven’t become standard for say, delivery and service (e.g. used by contractors) vans, and usually built on truck platforms.  Lots of stop-and-go, time spent idling, etc.

I think he means that he wants the vehicle to also be able to do road trips in rural areas where there aren’t recharge points. 

Trucks are mostly used for short trips?

That’s irrelevant to my point. My point is the ‘deal’ that was made. That’s what you’re diverting from. If it was truly believed that CO2 causes _global_ warming then moving manufacturing and CO2 production to China doesn’t do any good but that is exactly what the policies and deals for the last 20+ years were…

If the ultimate goal was reduce emissions as fast as possible it would be wiser to end all EV subsidies and simply mandate all vehicles become mild hybrids with at minimum ~1.3 KWh battery pack. In an Acura MDX adding such a system boosts it’s combined MPG by 5 or 30% gain. This system only adds $1,500 to the vehicle…

To even fully benefit from the $7,500 tax credit you need to have an income of $70,000 after all other deductions. It’s welfare for the wealthy and there is no denying it. Some will chime in but $70K - $100K income in Y city is poverty wages. To which I’d say that’s a failure of your local politicians and naive…

Oh not the Trump is Hitler crap again. You’re not so dumb as to have fallen for that? Can’t you see when you are being manipulated? We have what is known as just-us system. And it works just fine at getting rid of anyone that the system needs getting rid of unless that person is either squeaky clean or the only things…

That’s a hilariously naive grade schooler’s belief system. All enforcement is selective and when it comes to politics it is who has more power than who. Trump has no allies, not even the people he brings in are loyal to him. He has no party to protect him, he has practically no leverage over any one else. If there was…

Yes, the free market has no mechanism to make centralized blunders and huge misallocations of resources. Only government can do that. That’s the point. You need government to do that, either you think Trump is or his opponents are, but one them certainly is if not both. And if you want government doing that sort of…

The fact remains that the ‘deal’ Obama made shows that they don’t believe in CO2 driven “climate change”. It’s merely a political tool, a way to manipulate peoples and economies. After all it is at the core the old obey or there will be bad weather routine ruling classes have used for thousands of years.

China pushes…

The nonsense didn’t start with him and it won’t end with him. Also all laws are selectively enforced. If they haven’t gotten him yet the only things he could be guilty of are things that will bring down a lot more than just Mr. Trump.

That’s the nature of the system people wanted. I warned them. I said for must be more than a decade, before GWB even. I said to people who wanted a government that could give them everything they wanted, implemented ideas they thought were good, I said, “someday there will be a president you don’t like and he will…

Let’s be 100% honest here... How many middle class folks benefited from that tax break anyway?

The government will never give up the schools, for that is where it shapes the minds of future voters.

Found just what you need

South: We need to keep slaves.

What about doing 190 on a motorcycle and turning off the engine?

What’s the emissions impact of these tunnels? The global concrete industry is responsible for 13% of all emissions. It isn’t unreasonable to speculate it uses 4 - 6 times more concrete per mile versus traditional roadways.
