Now I know that many people have a vested interest in not seeing EV's proliferate. And by vested, I mean money.

And I know that many here will be quick to say that NO government agency can ever be trusted to get information from (especially not the CDC).

But, for what it's worth.

Here is the US Environmental Protection Agency on the EV subject.

Here we go again with the CFCs, LED, seatbelts argument as to why government should dictate everything and the people should serve the government. Storm the Capitol yay!

It was only a matter of time before you would crack on this thread. You reek of a Prius owner.

Honest as I can be with you Le HockeyDad, the one thing I did NOT like about my car was that is electric.
But as it turns out, it's the way to go for a lot of reasons.

No - I cannot drive for 300 miles to the middle of nowhere and find gas as easy as a charger.
Yes - it takes 15 minutes to charge rather that 5 minutes to refill.

But a 350 mile charge costs $11.48, and I never stop at a gas station.

And it is god damn fast.

And it effin drives itself - no, really - it does.

When driving to Texas I saw something funky in Needles California. On the side of a Shell gas station were three Tesla charging stations. It was kinda funny watching Teslas pulling in there to charge.

Needles is in nowhere!

Recycling? Even Greenpeace admits it was a mistake.

A good idea with a poor outcome.

From two plus weeks ago. This one surprised

I remember my parents leaving empty milk bottles in the box on the stoop for the milkman (ours was a man) to take at the next delivery, but no money lost nor earned.

Don't remember brown bags going anywhere other than in my recycling bin.

but, at least around here, beer bottles and cans, soda bottles and cans, etc. etc. had deposits charged to make people feel like they were throwing away money when they littered...idiots used to throw bottles and cans out of the car windows.
Somehow, turning that disrespectful act into throwing away money worked.
At least in MA...much less road side trash.

I think the redeemable money deposits above and recycling glass/plastics/newsprint/cans etc are mutually exclusive acts of recycling.

I lost faith in recycling. I'm not opposed to the idea, but around here it's a hoax. A guy in waste management said they used to separate items, but it was determined to be too costly, so it all gets dumped now. They still have the different colored bins, but only for the optics.

in another thread I mentioned how it's time for certain industries to put the touch on government to reimagine recycling...I used different words, but you get the point. (I don't want HD to yell at me again).
