Another feature of electric cars!!

[Dr Kynes]

I asked the last time you heard of it happening.

How many cars in America? How many car fires?

How many homes in America? How many home fires?

OMG!!! HOMES ARE DANGEROUS!!!

How many electric cars in America? How many car fires? We got 100% when they are submerged in salt water... Just pray you never end up in the ocean in one of those....

You never answered where the POWER came from to run the car while dissing fossil fuels nitwit.

i have to say, just for the sake of accuracy, that if you and your car wind up submerged in sea water, whether its from spinning out on the PCH, a collapsing bridge segment, a Tidal Wave, a Tsunami, or the entire west coast slipping beneath the waves as a result of a ginormous earthquake and subsidence event, no matter what, even if you drive a diesel volvo, and have your seatbelts on, youre still pretty much fucked..

You know those awesome Fiskar electric cars?? The ones that retail at about 160K?

Well, they have another super feature! It seems that if they are submerged in salt water they catch fire and EXPLODE!!!

No more dicking around with the insurance company on whether your car is totaled anymore once it takes a dip...

God bless Obama and his green energy campaign.

i hear these electric cars make traversing the iran-syria border a joy though.

Doc,You're fucked if your gas guzzler is submerged in two thirds salt water but if you have your head above water a fireman can still save you.With this electric car in that situation,hazmat clean up will save parts of you for a funeral.I rather be fucked.

Dummy, how many people are killed in wars fought over securing resources like oil? Now how many people are killed in smart cars and Volts?

Hopefully you can do math, but I won't hold my breath..

Umm, let me see. Carry the one and...

Good point, maybe we should have been taking advantage of our own resources instead of sending young adults to die so Eco-Loons (for you UB) can feel warm and fuzzy about not drilling on our own land.

By the way, what is the primary fuel source that generates the electricity for your "green" paper mâché car? Heh, genius?

wind, hydroelectric, and biomass in this neck of the woods.

You're not getting it. We need to abandon oil, there are better alternatives.

Only GOP fanatics don't accept it.

Cleaner, more abundant, renewable.. the only negative aspect is it doesn't bring oil tycoons outrageous profits.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

Wind isn't green friendly, bitch! They just found out it contributes to global warming by heating the air at night instead of letting it naturally cool. Nature fucks you no matter what.

This is far more likely.

not if they put the batteries under the seats....

protip: dont get the Hardtop.

maybe if you live in a regressive shithole.

i'm proud to live in one of the most progressive, cannabis friendly, and greenest states in the union.

So you only believe in climate change when you think you can make a point against green technologies you silly fuck?

How stupid can you possibly be?!

Umm please point out a realistic alternative fuel for transportation? Please be specific and show costs. I will be the first to jump on board if you can find something cheaper and as efficient as gasoline.

Sardonicism. Barnum wins again against the same two fools.

Electricity

Obstruction has led to slow progress, but progress none the less. Oil is quickly becoming obsolete

We're not even fucking close to fuel transportation on electricity and I have my doubts we could even get to 30% in 20 years. I said reasonable 50 miles on a perfect fucking day driving like grandma with a brand new battery in a 50,000 dollar car isn't progress.

Nice try, that was for the country.

Dimwit says what?

You forget, I'm from Oregon, so unless you're in Portland, you're much closer to hillbilly heaven than I am here in Raleigh.

I wasn't aware you designed cars for a living..

methyl alcohol.

you can make it from lawn clippings and sawdust, and it's good enough for Nascar, and every race conference out there except top fuel drag, nitromethane and formula 1.

even in the baja and paris to dakkar rallies methyl alcohol is the racer's choice.

but here in the US youll get 25 to life if you make and use your own methyl alcohol fuel for your car.

violent felony 1: modifying your vehicle to operate on methyl alcohol makes it a "Destructive Device" (a bomb)
violent felony 2: operating an unregistered still is possession of a "Destructive Device" (a bomb)
violent felony 3: methyl alcohol is classified as an "explosive"

sundry other felonies just to ensure extended stays at one of Wackenhut's fine establishments found nation-wide.

once your car's tires touch any blacktop connected to the interstate highway system youre "Bootlegging"
methyl alcohol requires the same licensing for manufacture as whiskey, you tax dodger!
methyl alcohol possession means your planning to sell it to schoolchildren! even if it is in your gas tank!
running any motor fuel, not sufficiently taxed, on public roads makes you a devilish tax cheat and probably a child molester.
it's not "carbon free" so youre destroying the planet!

Wackenhut.
We'll leave a cell open for you.

Wackenhut.
Soap on a Rope never sounded so good.

How does it burn and is it feasible, can we produce enough lawn clippings and saw dust daily to fuel even a quarter of America for a day? I have seen a ton of things that can replace fuel but none that can be made on such a large scale or doesn't cost more fuel than produce.
