I know I'm going to regret this, but you deserve a forum for your ideas, like anyone else.

I'm with you on CO2 from tail pipes, especially inefficient gas golf carts in a confined environment like TV. I'm all in on Electric Golf Carts.

So how do you propose we generate the electricity, to power all those EV's and prevent them from spewing all that CO2 into the atmosphere?

Let us all know when you want to be taken seriously.....

Synthetic Turf is HAZARDOUS — Beyond Plastics - Working To End Single-Use Plastic Pollution

Go nuclear!

I said that about Astro Turf for the greens, not the whole fairways. And maybe better for par 3s. Maybe computer golf for the fairway shots and then outside to use Astro Turf-type grass greens or real grass greens. That would definitely cut down on the wheel traffic damage while playing golf. Actually there are some studies that link baseball players playing for years on Astro Turf to brain cancer. So, it seems like there would FIRST need to be found a plastic grass carpet that did NOT give off any harmful chemicals into the air.
.....I merely tried to add to the discussion things that I am familiar with like the science of the change in climate and how it could affect even such an unlikely thing as golf course conditions. But, remember that Florida is special. It is an island surrounded by HOT water. And that affects Florida climate, which affects Florida golf course grass.
.........It seems that many golfing experts have many different solutions to the change in golf course grass. Strangely one solution that was proposed (but said to NOT be possible to implement) was to keep the golf carts off the course and only allow walking. Strangely, the reduced use of GAS golf carts would have a double advantage because of less weight on the grass AND less CO2, which HOLDS in the reflected Solar HEAT.

Easily. The idea is that it is better to control pollution at one big, STATIONARY power generating plant than to control it on the moving vehicles and golf carts. Golf Carts have no catalytic converters to reduce pollution, but at the stationary ELECTRIC power generating plants they have HUGE CAPABILITY to stop air pollution.
........I just read that now today, California can generate ALL its power through CLEAN ENERGY. So, I don't just PROPOSE something - Ca. is proving that it can WORK. And in the near future better, and better batteries will be developed. The only thing that prevents this from happening nationwide is that the DYING OIL production conglomerate will fight progress tooth and nail. Already they have succeeded in having US major automobile manufacturers cut back on production of E-vehicles. I can only HOPE that small car manufacturers step in and produce more E-vehicles and E-golf carts.
........Oh, and I expect to hear jokes and guffaws about ANYTHING positive to be said about California. so bring that good stuff on!

True, I did catch myself in that mistake about Astro Turf. Maybe a more healthy substitute can be developed.

I'm with you! I hate to admit publicly, but I'm with you on that one.

I'm waiting until these are available for golf carts...

Then why isn't CA doing it? Why the constant brown outs and instruction NOT to charge your EVs when home, in the evening?

Maybe nowhere near enough power available?

Too bad what he said was nonsense...

From thr Google machine" "Batteries can add weight up to 400 pounds! The final weight can depend on how many batteries the golf cart has and the weight of each battery. For instance, a gas-powered golf cart can weigh less than a battery-powered cart. It all depends on the cart; however, in general, a gas-powered golf cart tends to weigh less."

Thank you. I won't tell anyone that you agreed with me. It can stay a secret.

Anything not electric is killing our planet and global warming is a disaster. I’m taking that stance because the last time I attempted to correct a moron I had to spend a month in the penalty box.

Wow. And I’ve been quietly complaining that I get the ‘Otis the Drunk’ (Andy Griffith Show) treatment with my little nuggets of wisdom on here. A month?! Where are those threads? :a20:

I’d rather have the temperatures rise 0.5 degrees than Glioblastoma (brain cancer)
