All The Reasons Why Electric Vehicles Are Not The Answer

[iso36]

The interests behind internal combustion engines have blocked innovation in propulsion for 100 years.

Steam and electric motors have lost to fossil fuel power a few times now.

I first saw BMW’s Hydrogen car in 1989(?). It’s still not available.

I'll throw one more concern in. We still have no way of efficiently recycling the damn things. They are a witches brew of carcinogens and heavy metals.

That really was the point that I was making; the side-effects are no great improvement, but it makes the Red-Greens feel better about themselves because, damnit! They care, they're making a difference and everyone not on board with their agenda really wants dirty air, dirty water, Dead Sea horses...

What about the Wankel? Hmmmm...

Obviously you never owned one. No Wankel owner does a happy dance for very long.

All completely true.

Too bad. But true. Fuck nature!

We've spent more, sacrificed more, and implemented more, than any other family member in the care and feeding of our good Mother Nature.

No, it's the machinery of freedom at work. It's the American people voting with their own money as they please on things they want to be produced, without others telling them what will be produced and what will not be produced. After all, it's the market that should decide what will be produced, how much will be produced, and how much it will cost, not the government, who really has no constitutional authority to mandate cars get 150 mph.

So no regulations?

How many people would take their trash to the dump if it weren’t illegal to dump trash anywhere?

Some libtard who wants to control your life made laws about that, now you need to get armed to the teeth and defend your right to shit all over the world.

If it weren’t for regulations put forward by the Clean Air Act cars would have no emissions controls.

What would have been the incentive to decrease tail-pipe emissions without regulation? Would you pay more for a car that pollutes way less? Is clean air a worthwhile thing? Does regulating toxic fumes contribute to the “general welfare”?

Only regulations that comport with the power delegated within the enabling legislation that created the agency in question. All of which has to be supported by authorities conveyed to Congress by the Constitution. Picking up the trash and running the entire economy of a free society are two different things. We only have to understand what is happening and armed with our "vote" we can put it down. Unless of course, the Democrats want to dictate or deny us our vote as well.

Good movie.

Yes, a bit dated now, but still relevant.

“Gashole” ( newer, netflix?) is also informative, though not well done in movie terms.
