Overall it will be cheaper to do that drive in an EV Braap/snick/braap/snick... Some things are just plain old worth the money... Simply got to say... if you are that god damned worried about mpg or miles per charge or what the fuck ever, buy the EV and enjoy it. But just like a liberal with a gay kid... I don't need to hear about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it is expected that wind and solar will provide 30 percent of our peak demand of energy and some days it is as high as 40 or 50 percent.” https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/expert-says-renewable-energy-is-keeping-texans-lights-on/amp/ Texas also invested heavily into enormous energy holding stations in the form of lithium batteries to store wind derived power. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't even get me started on why not fly out there. Which brings me to another point... the day they can get Air Forcr One off the ground with an electric motor, enough to fly the prez to a foreign country... I'll be sold on electric. Until then, I will pass. I want to see them recharge an electric aircraft in mid flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Toyota and Lexus have proven (to me) that hybrid is the proper path. No range anxiety and my wife or daughter wouldn't have to sit in one spot charging a vehicle 20-40 minutes as a soft target for a would be baddie. Plus, the EV infrastructure is no where close to being ready for mass adaptation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just normal cooling as gas lines in texas freeze all the time and it’s just a weather event and not climate change Am I reading that right? When its cold it's just the weather but when it is hot it is climate change? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I mean really... if you work your whole life to make yourself comfortable enough in retirement to pay for $5-6 dollars a gallon for gas without it breaking your bank, why would you listen to someone who repeatedly wants to tell you how stupid you are?
