Pertaining to energy production, Nuclear is the way to go. The waste can be recycled, perhaps we should be innovating on the recycling process for it.

but doesn't nuke waste, make for "dirty bombs"..??
if so, then terrorists can have a lot of chances to get it readily

Not in cars. Americas highways and byways would be nuclear wastelands within a week.

I did not mean nuclear powered cars. As an alternative to solar panels wind farms etc to power our grid.
A bit off exact topic; hijacked I did.

The thing is that when EV's get that kind of mileage their value is so low as a trade in you can't afford to sell/trade them in. It's like a real car having 300-400k miles on it.

Funny you mention that ... just a couple days ago I was reading an article about how vehicle insurance companies are trying to decide on how to inflate EV owners/drivers rates because the EV is so much heavier than a real car its likely to cause the most damage in an accident simply due to the weight/mass.

going on what you say about insurance and weights, i'd wonder too about the "special" road taxes since they do not buy gasoline.....will the weights of those vehicles be a factor, because they can cause damage to the roads, much like (but in a smaller scale) like 18 wheelers do...??
that's been a major concern of years now, the weights of heavy vehicles, destroying our roads.

Sorry Joe. I'm not buying that. We're talking insurance companies here. THEY ARE JUST LOOKING FOR ANOTHER EXCUSE TO SCREW SOMEBODY!
No EV for me.
“Like a REAL car”
- Best explanation I’ve seen. Barber was telling me yesterday about a “green” customer with an Electric that drove down to Gulf Shores last winter and then came home complaining of the number of stops they had to make, how hard it was to find (and get into because of other users) charging stations and how long it took to recharge. In a Real car you just “go”. I suppose electrics are spiffy if you never get far from home, but to travel any distance they remain novelties/toys. Right now I can hop in either our TDI VW Touareg or my Ram 1500 Ecodiesel, fill ‘em up, and drive nonstop to my BIL’s in PA (600 miles)-orat least I could if my bladder had that kind of range
. Oh yeah, I can also run heat or A/C for the entire trip

i know...you and i recently bought a set of 4 new tires....
to me, outrageous pricings on tires, but what isn't...??
what EV owners have to know up front, is that due to the torque at the wheels, they actually wear down tires faster, than gas powered cars..
so they save the planet one way, but destroy it another, with all those tires piling up.

That meme is fake. You start with a false premise, you get a lot of false beliefs. This debunks every one of them. (Well, except that one about nuclear which is solid but much more expensive than solar.)
Here are the highlights:
EV battery cost has declined 89% since 2008.
To replace an EV battery costs between $5-20,000.
EVs come with a 100,000 battery warranty.
EV batteries last the life of the car.
Generally, they are only replaced because of a crash.

EV cars like climate change are fake……just a narrative that the left is pushing right now….. tomorrow it will be something different
