even the germans realized that volkswagon was a scam to get money from them- most never got that car they paid in over years to obtain. the electric car is the liberal’s volkswagon- literally a vehicle of propaganda- that the folks will never be able to afford. strength through environmental( fill in the blank here- racial, class etc.) guilt.

physics teaches us that perpetual motion is not possible. it has been the obsession of odd ball inventors and serious scientists for thousands of years. champions of the electric car as the answer to all humanity’s energy problems need some lessons in physics. tesla thought we’d get all the energy we needed from the air but he was always part magician for all his wonderful achievements. we are not there yet. even the french realized going nuclear was the viable option. the other day they declared war on al qaeda. isn’t it time tammy finally said, instead of “at least we’re not french” into “hey ,let’s be french for a change”. and i am seriously thinking that the only way we get these fools out of office will be to storm capitol hill and set up the guillotine. they are that insane and capable of any and all atrocities to maintain power.

We’ve neglected our electrical grid and our electric power supplies for decades. Tammy mentioned that the 1977 projections would have us with 1,000 nuclear power plants by now. We don’t have them, and because we don’t, we’d be relying on coal, oil and natural gas to produce electricity to power fully electric cars. But we lack the generating capacity and the bandwidth to deliver the electrical power when and where needed.

Bottom line is this is more theater to distract us while Obama destroys the country. Watch the other hand.

“But but but my gas guzzling Suburban Assault Vehicle costs me big bucks to keep on the road”. Well shove it, bub. Toyoto Corollas have been around since forever and still get decent milage. There’s alternatives that are affordable, if you must. But really, everyone has kept up nicely with the cost of oil, and its derivative, gasoline.

Caring about the cost because of all those little people in those little countries elsewhere is stupid. We could have always afforded gasoline and oil, especially if we spent our treasure on frowning upon bad users of our money in exchange for bulk oil. But no, we need to wear Al Gore’s Hair Shirt, we need to say we’re sorry because we’ve got a big dynamic country that’s decently free, we need to kowtow to some stupid concept of conniving socialists to cap our CO2 emissions, ya da ya da ya da.

Don’t matter a whit. We could have always afforded it, whatever it cost. Eventually, it may even cost a war. Don’t matter, we could afford that too. We got the Crips and Bloods and the up and coming MS13, some of the finest killers in the world.

So here’s your stupid world: the USA is still 3000 miles wide and a tad shorter. Getting around will still take some energy. So does doing work. Playing pretend with silly stuff like the Volt won’t hack it.

Simple demonstration: Iowa floods last year and in comes all those Ford 150′s to haul those sandbags. “Get her done, bub, we got a job to do.”

Try that in your pipsqueak electric kiddy car.
