Rich.Ouch! Fred Moir.Lynn MA.Diesel preferred. Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:45:30 -0400 To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Park your Toyota Pious From: mercedes@okiebenz.com Two aspects to your line of question. First, we must pass regulations that would force electric cars to only be charged at night for load leveling. We would therefore be able to have larger baseload plants that could run more efficiently than peaking unit. Problem is that wind machines and solar generators would be somewhat problematic, so nukes or fossil would be the way to go. Some proposals have already been floated and prototyped to use pumped storage of water for a similar solution. During the day the cars, if plugged in, could also amount to spinning reserve that could be drawn from to level peak loads on the grid. After all, they are just big batteries like you would put in your solarwind house. Screw you if you need to get home and your car has been sucked dry for the common good, you should be riding mass transit anyway. The second aspect is a lot cheaper and already underway by our esteemed president. Allowing the Iraniums and NORKs to build their nukes and the NORKs to build ICBMs is providing a near-term solution to the failing electric grid by detonating an EMP or two in the proper locations, hence providing a massive economic renewal opportunity that would put many to work in the subsistence arts and firearms industries. And of course we would need a massive gummint bureaucracy with really smart people who know better than most peons to make sure it was all being done in the fairest possible way to meet all needs. Full employment, full happiness for all! --R ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] [ SPAM ] Re: Park your Toyota Pious
Blind people hate Piouses -- in fact, I believe the Feds made Toyota do something to make them audible. Blind people were stepping out in front of them because they could not hear them. And just driving one does NOT make a person a better driver. Peter YES! Peter, you are RIGHT ON! Either driving a Pious makes people WORSE drivers, or bad drivers gravitate toward Piouses. (Pi'i) (Or is that pie eye?) Or driving a pious makes people into bad drivers. Drivers of ALL toadas tend to be bad drivers. ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] [ SPAM ] Re: Park your Toyota Pious
Anyone here have any interest in a Nissan Leaf? I was given one to drive for the next two months until the lease expires. 17,000 miles of silent battery driving, all in town, since the effective range is about 80 miles before either a tow or recharge. I made a quick trip to the airport two days ago, in freeway traffic at 70mph, starting with a full charge and 28 miles later arrived at the airport with a total of 8 miles available showing on the remaining fuel meter ... Put the car in my hanger and plugged it in to the available 110V service and after only 18 hrs of charge on 110 it was back up to 85% charge.. so I drove it home [house in town] on city streets only, no AC on, no speed above 35 mph... arrived with a bit over 39% charge remaining It is, I believe, the most expensive golf cart I've ever driven Like my lawyer friend who owns the lease and got stuck twice on way to court hearings because the summer heat killed the charge [you don't show up late to court.. ever] I'm sure if I used it for anything but going to the supermarket I will grow to hate it.. On reflection.. I already do hate it.. It's even a special design ugly kind of styling [to my eye anyway].
