haha.
what the treehuggers don't talk about are how hfarr is going to charge the 5 cars he has. power comes from somewhere and last I checked, solar and wind aren't real reliable at 2am when most charge them. so much for no dependence on fossil fuels.
now lets talk that 6 or 8 year old tesla that now needs 6 or 8k in batteries. sure, you have been saving on gas/maintenance over the last years but I bet zero owners stick cash away for that cost- they had an extra 300/month that they now stick into a pool, or bigger house or.... and as they become more mainstream, how many $20/hr guys are going to be able to afford that cost. ev's can be a part of the solution but not THE solution.
I'll probably get beat for saying this but nuclear should be part of the solution. if done properly.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

Here are some interesting articles that raise the potentials and refer to historic information on oil prices. There’s no Occam’s Razor simple solution other than a complete Russian citizen revolt against Putin, but that is the short term answer.
And it’s easier to point the finger at the current admin than to do the research that shows causality by the previous admin or the petroleum industry and investors.
We should be more worried as to how the oil distribution problems will effect global food production. We’ve already seen several of the four horseman of the apocalypse, the last isn’t far behind.

I could write a novel on why EV will not be able to replace ICE.
Until it can refuel as fast as a ICE, it won’t work.
Nuclear and Natural gas both are viable clean energy sources.
Wind and solar are awful and inefficient at best.
Mining rare earth metals is an ugly process and currently we rely on China for this.
Battery fires take days to extinguish.
And on and on and on.
This is a fun watch for those considering an EV truck to tow their boat.

Summary, towing 6500# you get appx 100 miles range and require 30-60 min per charge.
It took me 9 hours to get 700 miles to lake Norris with an ICE, With an EV, that would be closer to 16-17 hours.

Wait until the electric rowboats take over. 2-3 hours per charge. Can you imagine everyone fighting for a set when you have the family/larger crews out!

Up here in Ontario, Canada we have really felt the crunch over the past 5 days...
I filled up with diesel at $1.54/l ($5.84/US gal) last Thursday morning and these are the current prices as of this morning:
- Regular $1.85/l = $7.01/US gal
- Midgrade $2.06/l = $7.81/US gal
- Premium $2.16/l = $8.19/US gal
- Diesel $1.98/l = $7.50/US gal
For comparison, last summer for my boat I was paying for premium between $1.56/l ($5.91/US gal) to $1.61/l ($6.10/US gal) and that was high then.
I'm using the conversion rate of 1 litre = 3.79 US gallons for reference.2020 Moomba Kaiyen > Finally on my lift!
