A Horse With No Name

They are the people that make the equipment our grounds crew on campus uses, it is fantastically reliable.

Since I have a woodworking shop in my garage I really really dislike having flammable gasoline around sawdust and lumber. I may just switch my lawn mower to electric just so i sleep better at night. Love my home electric leaf blower, so much quieter and less smelly than gas powered. When i am done making sawdust in the garage, I can clean up quickly and blow out the garage even if it is after my neighbors bed time. His bedroom window and his daughters bedroom window are right outside of my work shop, so I try to be polite.

GM is flawed, but they always seem to come through in the end. Were I a betting man I would have no trouble betting money on their success..

GM, not Tesla will be the EV leader in five or ten years.

It is amazing how many times in college debate people make really asinine assertions. This ranks right up there with the worst I have heard. When you can come up with some sort of a realistic policy proposal I will be more than happy to discuss it rationally.

Violating the automotive industry idea for just a second...and talking about rail...could we not take something like the GG1, which was built in the Pennsylvania railroad shops with 1930's and 1940's technology....power it with wind and solar power...and then serve a really nice cut of beef in the dining car of said train, and still reduce emissions? ...and solar and wind are becoming more cost efficient very year. Violating the automotive end of this for a second, but talking about battery technology. University where I work went from nasty gasoline powered leaf blowers to battery powered ones. What a difference! They always start and run flawlessly, unlike small Asian imported internal combustion motors, they are quiet so they do not interrupt classes, no flammability in storage because no gasoline, and were cheaper to boot. Getting back to cars, I see the same thing happening to the automobile.

I agree with that, which is why I believe in shutting down fossil fuel power plants, especially coal ones, as rapidly as possible.

Even a non Ford guy like me is impressed... It would be fun to tow a camper behind that.

I think the issue here fear of the future. Cspec made a really rational argument against fearing the future back when he still posted here. That has kind of always stayed with me.

I would not count Alex Jones or Dennis Praeger as reliable witnesses on this or people I would want to cast my lot with.

On this rare occasion we disagree.

Yes, and the last time I was in NYC all of the dirty, polluting inefficient crown vics had largely been replaced with vehicles like the Prius....same thing in LA when my wife was there just recently, lots of hybrids on the road... At some point when fuel prices spike cars like the Prius will become the norm.

They do in Amish Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Thriving, actually. But a tiny percentage of the actual transportation market. Just like ICE in 2065. Agreed...but we should be continuing the transition. I want everyone to enjoy the same freedom that I do in owning a car.

However, the amount of fossil fuel is indeed finite, there will be a very painful end to life as we know it if we do not transition to renewable energy. I like to deal with unpleasant things before they bite me in the ass, not after. Just sayin. And to Solar and Wind and away from even natural gas as a fuel.

We ahve a really cool house in Columbus built by people in that business....ten years after it was built, they went broke... https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1330-Bryden-Rd-Columbus-OH-43205/33846110_zpid/ It is slowly being rebuilt by a very determined individual...no one else has been in the house for something like 30 years... Scientists warning to humanity about global climate change and other things that will happen if we keep using fossil fuels; http://scientistswarning.forestry.oregonstate.edu/sites/sw/files/Ripple_et_al_11-3-17 Scientists main text.pdf Who do i believe...13,000 plus scientists or an automotive body shop estimator from Lancaster PA with an admitted bias against electric cars?

I think the diesel Colorado is rated for over 10,000 pounds...

Blue one loading up lumber the other day at Lowes....seemed strange to see such an expensive vehicle haling 2 x 4's and plywood. And it was stuffed to the gills... I miss the old V8 RWD sedans.

Well now, all along I thought they kept you in a padded room.

At a wedding ceremony, the pastor asked if anyone had anything to say concerning the union of the bride and groom. It was their time to stand up and talk, or forever hold their peace. The moment of utter silence was broken by a young beautiful woman carrying a child. She started walking toward the pastor slowly. Everything quickly turned to chaos.The bride slapped the groom. The groom's mother fainted. The groomsmen started giving each other looks and wondering how best to help save the situation. The pastor asked the woman, "Can you tell us why you came forward? What do you have to say?" The woman replied, "We can't hear in the back."

When you wish upon a star, you're actually a few million years late. The star is dead, just like your dreams.

The Trailblazer SS is an awesome piece of Iron! I have a friend in the Prius community...the white interior trim pieces are despised...called Jedi bed pans IIRC.
