But You Asked for Green and Clean

[acesup800]

true, they are cheaper to fuel then a gas powered vehicle. This is because they don’t run on fuel they run on electricity, from a dam that was built by flooding a large area of bc forest and then hundreds of diesel and gas powered vehicles were used to dig a hole and pour tons of chemical induced concrete and wire and steel wherry things in the ground. The steel and wire used comes from another place called a mine that uses hundreds of fuel burning equipment and large amounts of explosives that are also chemicals....from a mine, to make it possible for some yah hoo to say I’m have a green car, I’m special look at me, I’m saving the world.
Let’s not forget how we got there.

Plus don't forget as soon as enough gasoline fueled vehicles leave the road, the gov't is only going to tax the electric ones to ensure they maintain the same tax revenue. So, there is going to be some kind of $0.45/L equivalent tax on electric vehicles to pay for roads and general revenue.

Valid point. I wasn't implying that a dam or any type of renewable energy has no initial energy cost. I'm just saying that if you really don't like the price of gasoline there are alternatives rather than just complaining about it.

Did we wake up in socialist ville?

Last I checked we lived in a free country with a free market.

If I bought a glass station in Leftcover and charge $3/liter and people were dumb enough to pay it .......... Then I would have benefited from sweet,sweet capitalism.

Unless they can prove some sort of price fixing scheme they just look like idiots for not understanding how market forces work.

If the citizens think they can do it cheaper, form a co-op and supply your own............

The west coast sheep have trouble connecting simple dots, I believe the highest cost for vehicle insurance & fuel. Cannot figure out why so a study is needed So lets mandate electric cars & have one monopoly for supplying power.......

They also have to revisit Site C to see if it was necessary.......

You can lead the horse to water.......

We can always go back to the horse and Cart,,, dog sled if one chooses...

I'm thinking of teaming up a house cat sled team... Ye Ha as I find 100 cats to pull my sled,,, I hope they don't go after a bird up in a tree... Ha

Everyone wants green until it’s time to shell out some green. Then, no one wants green. It’s an expensive fad

you can take that to the bank! Hope I live long enough to see them peddling fools having to shell out some $$ to peddle down the road haha! Tax tax tax.

Eventually the subsidies for the green energy schemes and EV’s will disappear. When that happens the industry will crater. It’s not economically viable, never has been and when the wind and solar farms reach the end of their lifespans, the companies that built/ ran them will be nowhere to be found. California is a perfect example of that.

The demand for it will only grow. Probably will be a solid stock investment.

I mean maybe that would be motivation but it's a welfare state. They just don't want to work, probably feel it's beneath them. Snobby fawks.

There ya go....remove the subsidies and the whole thing comes screeching to a halt. A feel good farcical idea that’s quickly falling apart all over the world.
