Was that cybertruck concept a joke or are they actually going to launch it looking like that? Honestly, with the ridiculous styling and the unbreakable glass that broke...I just thought Elon was trolling the industry and perhaps had a real truck up his sleeve. That, or he is totally nuts.
fossil fuel is a made up name. They've been telling us for around 50yrs now that its non sustainable and we're gonna run out. funny how we've never run out! even with increased usage in those last 50 or so years.
Why of course 'fossil fuel' is a made up name! The entire English language was made up, then we made up the word 'language' to describe it. Since fossil fuels are without question the remains of ancient plants an animals, 'fossil' seems like a reasonable descriptor to distinguish it from nuclear, solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, and other forms that energy can take. On the question of whether we will ever run out of fossil fuels, I can assure you that it is indeed a finite resource, evidenced by the simple fact that our entire planet itself is finite and therefore everything contained within it must also be finite. The question is, which will run out first? The fossil fuels, or a breathable atmosphere? I'll save you some googling, the earth's volume is about 770 times that of the volume of water and atmosphere combined.
It drives me nuts how all the greenies who moved to my state pushed to get rid of all the power plants. Nuclear was the wave of the future for them when I was growing up and now it's as sinful as coal. Now I'm basically being forced to spend $40k+ to build my own power plant on my roof. It really frosts my *******.
I remember in college one professor said if you can make something that breaks right after the warranty runs out you'll be a rich man. He was absolutely right.
That is absolutely true. That goes for a lot of material used in electronics as well.
I have read the heavy metal load from making solar panels is a big problem too.
You know, we shouldn't talk like this. It might take away the warm fuzzies the eco conscious people get for doing all the solar and green electronic stuff. Most probably don't realize our landfills are filled with that stuff. Chemicals and bad minerals leaching into the ground from it or that mountains are demolished mining the materials needed for a lot of batteries and stuff. Plus the slave labor used to do the dirty work in third world countries...
all new trucks are stomach turners.Think I'd consider an ev truck. Can't stomach the pricing currently...will wait til it's not a novelty, although I think by that point regulation will basically have made fossil fuel vehicles inaccessible price wise...
guess my next vehicle is a bicycle...
It's crazy how expensive trucks are getting. I basically have a f150 with a suv body and the prices are nuts. I paid $30k in '18 for a used '14 expy limited. I'd rather have kept my '01 expy, but the frame was rotted pretty bad. I think a new expy limited is like $70k+
Yeah, that would be a problem. I have known someone with a Volt at an apartment who ran an extension cord out the window. Which even then would be a hassle for nightly charging. In my situation, I pull into my garage every night, and the charger is right there. Being a creature of habit, I just plug in and don't even have to think about it. My daughter and her husband both have Volt's, and they don't have an outside outlet at their house. So they run an extension cord.
