1.06 billion cars X 4.2 tons CO2. Ya your right why bother!
This 10x. As soon as I officially retire and escape from the cesspool known as ILLinois I want to buy lakefront property where I can have a well/septic (as I do now) and solar so I can be self-sufficient from the gyrations of power outages. I'd have solar now but with a 5yr retirement window it's not worth it where I am....It may very well be the least efficient form of energy but now I am not dependent on the grid for my power and heating/cooling plus my vehicles are getting charged thanks to the sun...
Comparing a small European country to the US is apples to oranges. Hell comparing Europe to the US is also not comparable.When I went to Amsterdam and found out that the majority of the Taxis were Teslas, it got me thinking. Tesla is an American owned company and the Teslas that I were riding in were most likely built in America (at the time, the Euro plant was not done) by Americans. When I go back next month, I am expecting to see lots of Jeeps as the HQ is in that city but I doubt it. I suspect, it'll be full (except for the bazillion bicycles) of a bunch of those American cars that are called Teslas that they use for taxis. It confuses me that for a company that is doing exactly what we want except for one item (non ICE) that they are thrown under the bus by so many. It's ironic to see Texas will be the EV capital of the world since Tesla moved there.
Man, ain't that the dream, though? My own little country-within-a-country where I'm self-sufficient and pull my living from the land itself.As soon as I officially retire and escape from the cesspool known as ILLinois I want to buy lakefront property where I can have a well/septic (as I do now) and solar so I can be self-sufficient from the gyrations of power outages. I'd have solar now but with a 5yr retirement window it's not worth it where I am.
