Oh goodie. More BS from Breitbart.

Study Targets Adjusted Climate Data | The Daily Caller

Hey Houston, take a trip to the North Pole. Take a cruise from Seattle to New York via the NorthWest Passage. Is the lack of any ice to impede your journey simply a matter of falsified data sets???

You really shouldn't have slept through those classes on critical thinking in high school.

Oh goodie. More BS from Breitbart.

Not even BS, just straight lies.

They cherry-picked domestic deliveries while omitting the entire rest of the world, *total* deliveries are up 40% year over year: Inside Tesla's Mixed 2Q17 Deliveries and Production Numbers - Market Realist . Yeah, production was down slightly last quarter but that's due to battery supply constraints and not demand.

Don't let real numbers get in the way of banging the drum on that conservative agenda though :thumbsup:

Thoughtful article: When Will Electric Cars Go Mainstream? It May Be Sooner Than You Think - The New York Times NYTimes: When Will Electric Cars Go Mainstream? It May Be Sooner Than You Think

Only way the EV will go mainstream is if the government passes legislation forcing the sales of EV's.

And an article speculating that at some point there will be a 'tipping point' where massive storage combined with solar and wind will be less expensive than fossil fuels, causing major disruption of the energy market.

Weæ±*e a Cheap Battery Away From Phasing Out Fossil Fuels - Motherboard

Note all of these are speculation on the future. While these may not be precise predictions I think in a general sense they describe where where we are going.

Oh good grief , the old " New cheaper, higher capacity, safer and lighter weight batteries coming just right around the corner. All there is is MiMh, Leas Acid and Lithium. That's it , nothing newer or better in batteries unless the Almighty re-writes the periodic table.

The Almighty has rewritten the periodic table over the past year!

HS thinks he is being clever!

Cost went down when production moved from the west to China where wages are lower and there is little concern for the environment .
If you have not noticed your chart indicates lithium from it's commercial infancy. Have you noticed that price has plateaued low and perforce has plateaued high in the past 3-4 years. The real world curve on the graph has flattened.
By your line of logic, how long at your present rate the lithium batteries will hold an infinite amount of power and the manufactures will pay us to take them ?

Our friend Houston has a remarkable and unerring ability to find, read and regurgitate wacko "studies" that he finds on alt right fake news sites. He throws in a reasonable reference every once in a while to keep us honest but mostly he links to inflammatory fake or biased articles.

Houston and Redneck should be complimented and thanked for their tireless efforts to keep the greenies honest by proving the greenie theories sound wonderful but however the greenies are impractical or impossible.
