If an eagle flies into a wind mill, how is that the responsibility of the wind farm? I don't see any negligence on their part. Why do eagles try to fly through those things anyway?You EV owners are not only destroying the earth but you’re also decimating eagles.

I wonder if it's about taking them offline during migration periods. Or having some sort of technology to identify and warn away approaching eagles.If an eagle flies into a wind mill, how is that the responsibility of the wind farm?

What do windmills have to do with EVs?You EV owners are not only destroying the earth but you’re also decimating eagles.

when I was there a couple years ago, pre-Covid, you could find "self pump" stations. always made me chuckle. I would always stop at those even if I had to pay a little more.LOL I do believe New Jersey is the ONLY state that doesn't allow you to pump your own gas. Oregon has started allowing people to pump their own gas is some situations. Additionally, the Oregon state house voted (March 2023) 47-10 to allow people to pump their own gas. Don't know if it will go through or not, but this change is finally coming in Oregon.
I mean isnt that the exact mindset the renewable energy people are trying to steer away from?If an eagle flies into a wind mill, how is that the responsibility of the wind farm? I don't see any negligence on their part. Why do eagles try to fly through those things anyway?
Everything Slo Joe has ever touched turns to sh!t
Biden Spent $1 Billion To Get Schools Electric Buses. This Michigan District Says Theirs Hardly Work.
It's why I chuckle at conservatives who celebrate Musk. He's the king of corporate welfare. Smart guy dont get me wrongWithout government support and hype, a lot of companies like the ones building these buses wouldn't even exist. It's just one of many companies with a sole purpose of existing on flawed government giveaway programs. It's the great liberal giveaway to promote minorities and/or flawed technologies that can't make it on their own merits, and it's doing no one any good ... except for a few shady types (both government and corporate) who are laughing all the way to the bank.
Oh, I know that everyone has strong feelings one way or the other. Doesn't bother me a bit. I have no doubt that the traditional auto industry is probably pushing this crazy narrative that EVs all catch on fire and burn down your house. The same number of people I know have experienced EV fires as have experienced negative CV19 outcomes as young/middle aged healthy adults.
There's no way in hell that the country/ electrical infrastructure is ready for 50% EVs. They are definitely not right for certain types of driving. The government has no business mandating anything. However, mine is super fun, blazing fast, comfortable, relatively affordable, and will save me tons in gas money.
I do, and I hope it extends the life of my performance brakes as well.Do you have regenerative braking ? This is a very significant advantage.

It did take a little getting used to, but unless someone pulls out in front of me or a light turns yellow when I'm rapidly approaching, I rarely have to press the brake pedal.
I'm beginning to think that people may be realizing the EV revolution can't possibly go as was being pushed. I've seen in the last two weeks different articles now saying that EVs aren't as pure as the driven snow and not nearly as environmentally friendly as promoted. All the sudden, there are words of wisdom that the studies and claims were too narrowly focused. The batteries that make EVs work also make them extremely heavy and leads to more micro pollution from auto tires in the air - they haven't worked up to weight and road damage yet. The environmental cost related to battery production is making more noise now. It's like there's an undercurrent to dial it all back because somebody has figured out that the infrastructure isn't here and won't be for the mass migration from petroleum fueled cars to EVs, but they can't just come out and say "We got it all wrong."
Yeah, it's crazy to think that the current grid could support such a dramatic shift to EVs as the current administration is suggesting. Vacation travel alone would be impossible.I'm beginning to think that people may be realizing the EV revolution can't possibly go as was being pushed.
