New Electric Vehicles Coming Soon

It's all well and good we get partially off oil and from under the thumb of several countries .

The laws of physics still pertain to the energy used to move x amount of weight a given distance whether it's on corn stalks , electricity ,wind ,wave power ,donkey power or what have you .

I am tired of hearing the mantra ; i'm greener than thou because i drive electric or what have you . Well,somewhere something is producing that energy and as of now and the forseable future it is about 60% chance that dirty ol coal is making the turbines turn.

I have heard you could cover the USA with solar panels and wind mills and not equal the amount of oil energy .

Yes , i am in agreement to reduce oil usage . The best way is to reduce driving which by my own experience i am sure every private vehicle in America could be driven 200 miles a month less with very little inconvenience . The price of oil i am sure has already reduced the marginal income persons driving . Now , if we could get the well off retired assholes ,such as i , from dragging most of a lifetimes collection of crap down the road to the next "paradise " in their 5 mile to gallon rec -vehicle all will be ok.

Another item ; i estimate 10% of commercial trucking is unecessary . Example ,you have lumber going southeast to northwest and viseversa, cheese every direction ,meat same . Packages passing each other in the middle of the night in the air and on ground ,a large portion overnight when in real fact 10 days wouldn't make a crap ,and there are others .

We are our own enemy.
