Bare, I know you think that the links on here providing proof there is a hydrogen problem associated with electric golf cart parties that may cause fires far more readily with an electric vs gas cart are phony claims but you must realize electricity does not fall out of the sky to charge those batteries.
Coal mines scar many areas that have been mined and then you have the extremely noisy, polluting trains that run constantly past The Villages moving coal to the power plants to provide that electricity needed for the electric carts. You also have the used, numerous batteries to contend with for disposal.
As you said, this subject has been beat to death. I have no problem with electric cart owners even though they pollute and cause noise indirectly. I encourage people to drive what makes them happy and go play. No one's mind is being changed here and I think there are many of us that will jump on the "nonpolluting solar bandwagon" if and when it is a VIABLE solution.
