This is post that will sum up my post disparaging electric vehicles…
Personally, I would not even be so anal about electric vehicles if the EU did not want to ban combustion engine by 2035, and there wasn’t a sense of hopelessness that we cannot do anything about it. Politicians cannot be trusted, and those that can don’t have enough support. It is fucked up, and hopefully forces that want to keep the combustion engine for the people to exploit will win in the end.
EVs are an evolutionary dead end. Tesla looks high tech, and those Chinese EVs seem to be quite neat but combustion engine is still superior. Batteries make trucks heavy, I am sorry but they need to have a diesel engine. I am all for hybrids, they seem to make consumption of diesel fuel more efficient, and I am for diesel fuel made from sources other than oil. I wonder how much diesel a society can generate from cooking oil, and other biological material? Imagine households could sell this shit to diesel refineries powered by nuclear reactors. I could even have a bio-reactor to make basic materials in my garden.
EVs don’t like very low or very high temperatures. They are simply shit cars. We need good reliable gear on not some ideologically propped garbage.
Solar panels don’t interest me, we don’t even have a sun in this part of the world. I give some chances to geothermal and I am totally bullish on nuclear. We need those nuclear reactors built ASAP. Windmills need to be discarded and anyone building them shamed.
