Randy,This is also not true, there are MANY electric cars on the road today and just because they don't fit your needs or lifestyle that doesn't mean they aren't an excellent choice for somebody else. Your F150 would be a really stupid vehicle for somebody living in a big city, does that make it "bad"? Its just the wrong choice in that instance. Electric vehicles are a reality and will be more common as time goes on. Charging times are down, energy capacity is up and those trends will continue... -Curt

Electric vehicles are a dream. They have no range. They take too long to re-charge. Battery technology is not at a point where they are practical. And, the infrastructure is not there to charge them. Solar does not work in the dark. Not bad in Arizona. Not so good in Manitoba, especially in winter. Windmills kill the birds migrating through their path. I am surprised the environmental crowd does not get the windmills banned for that reason alone. Nuclear is there but, as you pointed out yesterday, we have a problem with the leftovers. Until they find a way to totally use up nuclear fuel so that it does not pose a danger, there is the question of what to do with the stuff that has no further use but is dangerous for the lord only knows how long. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
