First electric tractor ride

[MiserableOldFart]

There’s a good reason that there’s only one lithium mine in the United States while there’s thousands of other mines and oil wells. It’s probably along the lines of it’s so environmentally destructive that first world government won’t allow it. And then there’s the problem of a big enough supply of build enough electric cars for everyone to have one. Let’s not mention the electric grid is already failing. And electric cars are the easy hurdle. We’re no closer to giving up combustion engines then we are to building a space ship cap of flying humans light years away.

ICE vehicles being sold new today are already obsolete. EVs are the future of the American highway, not in 30 years, but more like 10.

For days the warnings on grid capacity in headlines...

Each replacement furnace comes with A/C which never existed and two neighbors that had them installed are running them...

Why spend 13k on a new system and not run it on the hot days?

All I can say is we are expecting a lot from the grid going forward...

With the drought hydro is a small percentage of power generation...

The effect on the grid with the rise of EVs is not that big a deal. Many people with the funds to buy EVs are capable of using solar panels to charge them. With most vehicles that do use the grid charging at night, when use is less, a lot of the problems being ballyhooed are just more fossil fuel company propaganda. Of course, in places like Texas where the grid has been allowed to become a joke, it's another matter.

In a few years when people realize how impractical and much dirtier than claimed they are this whole push for electric vehicles will be scrapped. At least that’s my prediction. But in any case electric cars are the easy hurdle. With the exception of some mega mining equipment that drags around a power cord electric heavy equipment is a joke, light equipment is still a joke, battery powered trains, boats or plans are far from existing and electric semi trucks aren’t much better off. Electric cars only sorta work because it doesn’t take much energy to push a car down the road. Apply a continuous heavy load and the battery falls on its face. Even if electric equipment was developed to something useable which isn’t going to happen fast or probably ever it would take decades if not the better part of a century to phase out combustion equipment. And again passenger cars are the easy hurdle here. Commercial equipment last for decades and they aren’t just going to throw away perfectly good equipment.

The future may be here sooner than we anticipated. Well for cars at least.

U.S. EV adoption is happening faster than anticipated

EV adoption in the U.S. happening much faster than anticipated, according to an observation of research by Recurrent Auto

Green Energy is a lie and will not work, all expert agree there are too many humans and population will crash or needs to be culled.

EDIT: Just my takeaway from the "movie" no opinions implied.

Green Energy is a lie and will not work, all expert agree(lol, when has that ever happened) there are too many humans and population will crash or needs to be culled.(except most govs are pushing for increased population, hence the child tax credit)

We have 125 kW prime mover gensets that are much larger than the one pictured by at least double and on average 10 gallons per hour under load.

Anything is possible but the generator sure doesn’t appear capable of 350 kWh
