The Duplex by Glenn McCoy for May 29, 2024

Releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is not the same as producing carbon. Only a nuclear power plant can create carbon.

Sounds like Elon……..building 1/2 of a factory. But which half ?? Think about it.

And yet using a fraction of the cobalt, lithium and rare earth minerals as any EV.

Et Tu Glenn?

Or, producing as much carbon as one crypto currency mining company.

Well, we are carbon based life forms.

Giga factories??

Yeah, that’s good for the earth.

“My Other Car is a Big Wheel.”

Or as much as just one conventional engine factory.

His mind is definitely twisted, he’s got a Mercedes Benz, he got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, all with split ends.

I’m not a big fan of electric cars. We do have a hybrid which costs half as much to fill the tank than a gas only car

Guess what mine runs on???? burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp. :)

China has over 1200 coal fired generating plants but my car is the problem? Give me a break. How long does it take to rebuild a wind turbine farm after a tornado goes through it…..or a solar farm after a hail storm? We don’t really need to worry about it. According to environmentalist, we’re all going to die due to “climate change”. I’m all for doing what we can to clean up our world, but the extremist have gone entirely nuts.

I approve of this message.

And taking up the whole road.

Carbon is what greens our planet….. the government that wants to cut down our population has told you it is bad for you….

Tesla is being sued for its factory mishandling hazardous wastes from its Fremont, CA plant.

So. I own an F-150 Lighting (it’s the electric version of the F-150) and while I very much like the truck, a thought has occurred to me…….

How long is it going to be before the lefties/greenies begin electron shaming those of us that drive an EV that is not as clean as they think it should be? Or uses more electricity than they deem appropriate? It’s only a matter of time. And, no I am not joking. Mark my words.

Not true

There are a lot of commenters who seem to think Eno is a brilliant example to follow. I worked with engineers of the California Air Resources Board and think they are much more intelligent than Eno. You can go to the California web site and see the results of full calculations on energy and CO2 for full life cycle of different vehicles and fuels. It even evaluates where each fuel comes from, how it’s transported, and produced. There could be two or three answer for each vehicle based on fuel. Electric ALWAYS comes out cleanest. Least net energy, least CO2 production, least VOCs.

You follow Eno if you want, I prefer hard data.

Take that, John Kerry.

My favourite bumper sticker is ‘I brake for tailgaters’.
