SOLAR-POWERED CARS CAN DRIVE FOR WEEKS WITHOUT CHARGING. GUESS WHO WETS PANTIES

[ExpressLane]

I'd call it slathering propaganda for them.

Of course Joe Crapitalist bought it Hook, Line, and Sinker.

Joe Crapitalist is a totally scientifically illiterate moron.

he also seems to have run away......

SOLAR-POWERED CARS ARE CHALLENGING SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR EV BRANDS — AND THEY CAN DRIVE FOR WEEKS WITHOUT CHARGING
“This is not like going from the flip phone technology to a smartphone.”

Auto manufacturers are racing to develop the latest and greatest cars. One trend we’re seeing is the rise of solar-powered cars, but how are these sun-powered machines different from other electric vehicles?
What are electric vehicles?
Electric vehicles (EVs) are battery-powered cars that use electric motors rather than an internal combustion engine for propulsion. When you charge an EV, the electricity gets stored in a large traction battery pack. This electricity gets used by an electric traction motor to drive the car’s wheels.
Gasoline vehicles have internal combustion engines that burn gasoline fuel to drive the wheels, releasing toxic fumes and harmful carbon pollution. These engines also produce noise pollution, or excessive noise and vibration.
Each year these gas-powered cars produce 3.3 billion tons of carbon pollution worldwide. Carbon air pollution traps heat from the sun within our atmosphere, causing the planet to overheat and extreme weather events like hurricanes to intensify.*
It affects our health, too — fumes from car exhaust can cause or worsen asthma and other respiratory issues.
Since EVs only run on electricity, they don’t pollute the air. One study even found that having more EVs meant fewer emergency room visits for breathing problems. And compared to internal combustion engines, electric engines don’t produce nearly as much noise pollution.

It's NON-EXISTENT fantasy at this point.

If the Earth is still salvageable as a human-life-sustaining planet, we've got to replace the ICE machine. It's an obligation to try.

I frankly doubt that it is, however. I think we're fucked.

That being the case, the sound of a high compression, fuel injected V8 [or, dare I dream, V12]
is still one of the prettiest sounds in the universe.

I've never heard Charlize Theron
purring and moaning in bed,
but it would probably take something like that to sound as erotic as a classic Ferrari.

Is is still worth living if it's gone?
How diminished a standard of living will we tolerate to remain alive?
I think that for most people, it's far too much.
Standards have disappeared.

I've always liked Monty Python's Eric Idle. He's really funny.

Do you think Trump won the 2020 election?

It's a nonexistent fantasy for the foreseeable future too. You cannot get around the periodic table and laws of physics. Solar panels and solar energy have to low a watt density and conversion rate to make them practical not to mention they only work roughly half the time. It's a fool's errand to think we can power society off wind and solar alone.
