I swear some of you guys need to run your geneology. I bet you going to find a great grandmother back there somewhere that was Chicken Little.

Some crazy stuff has happened not so long ago, Gale. Europe overthrown in WW2. Venezuela goes from riches to rags. Cant keep spending this much in ratio to GDP and not expect a BIG problem!

Solar systems will not come down 10 fold in 10 years. They haven’t come down 10 fold in the last 10 years…not even close. There would need to be a massive breakthrough in manufacturing, materials, or subsidies to get them that low.

The price of solar electricity has dropped 89% in 10 years

In 2009, building a new solar farm was 223% more expensive than building a new coal plant. Now, it’s flipped.

True that. Some people could win the lottery, marry a 23 year old supermodel and be elected king, yet still spend all day complaining because their wallet is too heavy and their wife can’t cook a good meatloaf.

Some people also scream, cry and complain about things that won’t happen (end of the world in 10…. The I mean 9 years) and we all have to throw away our ICE cars, close coal fired power plants, and teach controversial topics in high schools and colleges to our kids.
The world is still gonna be here in 9 years whether we are forced into EVs or not.

First time I’ve actually seen one at a gas station. First gas station I’ve seen with charging stations.

Japan is still going I think. Don't let others do your thinking. No one is going to force you to buy an EV. You will be buying an EV because you know a better deal when you see one.

Anyone calling the genealogy police should be able to spell correctly and structure a sentence.

Haha, thanks for the insult. Remember, all along through this discussion, I have always stated I want one, but I don’t want to be forced to own one. Some like having regulations forced on them. It’s like they want to give up their freedom and become “subjects”.
I never let anyone do my thinking for me. No group think or ideology here, but with the amount of links and articles you post, I think you might be guilty of doing a bit of that.

Not real proud of being up there with Greece.

Getting used to it-that’s the way it’s going to be from here on.
Hope it all works out.
