Son in laws Volvo does same. Just a hybrid car.

I had a better dream:

[QUOTE=mtdjed;2275784]I had a dream that there will be an Electric Vehicle that solves the range of miles problem, lack of charging stations, time of charging etc. The truck will be scheduled for 2025 intro. It will get about 700 miles range without a need for stopping.

It will have its own generator to keep the battery charged. The generator is to be called a milage extender. Of course, generators require power to work. The uniqueness of his concept is that a readily available fuel, gasoline, will be used. It is planned that a small tank of gas will be stored on the vehicle. (Perhaps 27 Gal).

Wouldn't it be great if dreams like this could become reality? Close down the oil fields, no more global warning.

Alas, only a dream. Starts to sound like a complicated

We can only dream, BUT I'm sure the "Steve Jobs" out there will make it happen!

"97%" is the new "FOX News"... Everybody drink!

The 97% figure has been put out there so often that people accept it as gospel. If you do some research into the origin of that number, you'll see it's not true. The percentage is high, but not 97%.

Oh, maybe I didn't have a dream, and perhaps read that story in the Daily Sun.

Who are you now, Ecuadog? I don't recognize her.

Today, my avatar is Della Reese.

I had a dream the other night as well. In my dream my Giants finally draft a half decent quarterback.

I suspect that the "research" you are referring to is the Forbes article in 2016.

In the seven years since that came out there has been a lot more evidence of climate change, and many scientists who were undecided back then have subsequently been persuaded.

Obviously no-one knows the exact figure, so I'm happy to go with "the vast majority".

Maybe Forbes should look into why so many people in The Villages continue to side with the tiny minority. I suspect those people just don't want to change their profligate ways. Maybe they should just change their TV channel and see what thinking people are saying.

I agree

No, the original number came from a survey paper by John Cook. The number has been misused countless times. Anyone who uses that number should really read the paper. After reading the paper, they won't use that number anymore.

No matter what the topic, it reverts to the same old Global issue. I tried a little satire regarding a RamCharger to be staying a pure EV by simply adding a petro powered battery charger. That charger probably used more gas for the battery charges than my car uses to run on gas alone.

Happened in 1979, Phil Simms.

What an outstanding Rube Goldberg Device...Can't wait!
