    So much for electric cars saving the environment

    Turns out the cost of powering those Tesla's is worse than just burning gas
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

        and you probably like that, don't you? I guess that means we should just stick with the internal combustion engine because old ass fools like yourself hate change.

              Next time, try reading the whole article.

              From the link you shared, yet got completely wrong: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...dv=fedexsocial

              Here's the highlights in bold for you, just in case vision ain't what it used to be.

              You'll Need 286 Pounds of Coal to Fuel That Electric Road Trip

              New Yorkers looking to escape the winter chill by driving to Daytona Beach, Florida, would use about 40 gallons of gasoline to traverse the 1,000 miles in a Chevrolet Impala.

              Switch that gas guzzler out for an electron-eating EV and the equation changes. A Tesla Model S traveling the same distance would need power generated by about 2,500 cubic feet of natural gas, 286 pounds of coal or 33 minutes of blades spinning on a giant offshore wind turbine to make the same journey.

              As electric vehicles slowly become a bigger part of the global automobile fleet, questions about mileage and fuel efficiency are going to become more apposite. While there are multiple variables that can affect electric vehicle energy consumption, a Bloomberg NEF analysis illustrated some ballpark estimates to give drivers a better picture of what’s happening underneath the hood.

              Taking that same 1,000-mile road trip in an electric vehicle that needs 33 kilowatt-hours of energy to travel 100 miles, like a Tesla Model S, would require about 286 pounds (130 kilograms) of coal to be burned at the local power plant. Modern coal plants only convert about 35 percent of the fuel’s energy into electricity, and about 10 percent of that electricity could be lost as it travels along power lines.

              Even with all those losses, the electric vehicle road trip is still better for the climate than driving a gasoline-powered car. Burning that much coal would release about 310 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, compared with 350 kilograms by the 40 gallons of gasoline. Even though coal tends to emit more pollutants than oil for the amount of energy it generates, the efficiency of the electric vehicle, which recharges its battery with every brake, more than makes up the difference.

              Natural Gas

              A natural gas power plant producing the same amount of electricity would need to burn about 2,500 cubic feet of the fuel, enough to fill a small apartment in Hong Kong or a master bedroom in Dallas. Gas plants are more efficient than coal, typically converting about half the fuel’s energy into electricity. It’s also much cleaner, emitting just 170 kilograms of carbon dioxide for the 1,000-mile journey.

              Solar
              When it comes to charging electric vehicles with solar power, size matters. A typical 10-kilowatt rooftop array would need about seven days to create enough electricity for a 1,000-mile journey, as clouds and darkness mean it only operates at about 20 percent of its capacity on an average day.

              Scale up to a photovoltaic power station, though, and it would take a matter of minutes, not days. At a modest-sized solar field like the 25-megawatt DeSoto Next Generation Solar Center in Florida, the average daily output would produce enough electricity for a 1,000-mile drive in less than four minutes.

              Wind

              Wind is a similar story, with different sizes of turbines producing different amounts of electricity. Take the Vestas V90-2.0 MW, an 80-meter tall behemoth that can be found swirling on the plains of West Texas, among other locations. Just one of these turbines, and wind farms are usually planted with dozens of them, produces enough electricity in a day to power a 1,000-mile trip every 33 minutes.
              What you don't get Vendzilla, is that there are plenty of alternatives to generating electricity than coal. Electric cars will make a small difference even if the electricity comes from coal, but they make a bigger difference if the electricity comes solar, Hydro or Nuclear.

              Sigh...

              Work in coal mines has gone down for plenty of reasons: It's old technology, it's expensive, it's dangerous, it's unpopular, and workers are being replaced by robots. If you believe in coal so much go mine some for a while, then invest what you're paid into insurance to help cover a little of the medical bills thanks to your newfound pneumoconiosis.

                From the article you linked did you read it?..

                286 pounds of coal or 33 minutes of blades spinning on a giant offshore wind turbine, 7 day for solar roof, 3 minutes of large solar array.

                I'd tend to think the solar array is the future and not coal don't you?

                  Why would my electric car need to burn coal? I have solar.

                  In fact... I just got a check from my power company for $124. In the past year I put in more power back into the grid than I took out, and even after my meager natural gas usage I pulled out a small profit. I also made $2k from the solar company directly in the past year by sending them new customers... so.... Not only did I not take any power from from the grid, I also made about $900 for year which is after my costs for the panels.

                    The truth isn't important to such people. They just want to be full of negative energy.

                          I definitely want a Tesla. Don't care if it needs coal or solar to charge. I just want one because it's cool and fast.
                          That is the only reason I would ever choose a car to drive.

                          Just wish they would offer a roadster again. Not really into the family sedan look that is all they have at the moment.

                          But if/when they do another sports car roadster design...then I'm hooked.

                            God dammit I want to get drunk with you...

                            I test drove a roadster a long time ago. It was fast and fun, but it was a little too small for my 6'3" frame.

                            But even though the Model S is a Sedan, it's freakin' fast, and it feels very much like a real sports car. In fact I'd say its cooler than that. The exterior says sedan. But the speed, handling and acceleration are sick, sick sick. Even the base models are exceptional.

                              It's fantastic. The way it's set up right now... I pay ZERO for power.

                                I looked into getting solar here and unfortunately I can't. The roof of my house is facing 5 different directions and not one of them is good enough to collect any decent amount of solar. Then again, electricity is dirt-cheap here so Solar would take forever to pay for itself where I live. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods you'll have to show me your setup, and pardon my drool.

                                  Coal still powers 30% of the US power plants
                                  Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                  think about that

                                        Yes they have a high carbon footprint at almost twice as much as that of a combustion car. But the USE of an electric car makes up the difference. Also there's No burning fuel, no co2 or other greenhouse gasses. Driving it also produces no nitrogen oxide (NOx), no carbon monoxide, no hydrocarbons, and no soot.

                                          That is the only reason I would ever choose a car to drive.

                                          Just wish they would offer a roadster again. Not really into the family sedan look that is all they have at the moment.

                                          But if/when they do another sports car roadster design...then I'm hooked.
                                          Audi has a great SUV coming out in early 2019 But i believe the range is about a third less than Tesla. There will be many alternatives within a year or two.

                                            Turns out the cost of powering those Tesla's is worse than just burning gas
                                            We know you red hats love to hate on elon and take your orders from big oil...but, just about all automakers are building electric cars now.

                                            And that is where we are headed... whether you like it or not. Doesn't matter what ideas you put into your head and shit out your mouth.

                                            The GOP has been stifling renewables innovation for decades btw.

                                            Why don't you back to playing your crosswords and yelling at kids to get off you lawn?

                                                They don't hate change.. they just think they do because that's what they are told to think.

                                                    I know.

                                                    And just think about what a fucked-up job that is. You spend all day in a deep, dangerous cave that could collapse. It's dark and hot as hell. You inhale shit all day and come out covered in crap and die a slow and fucked-up death for barely $20 an hour average.



                                                    Pathetic.

                                                      Tesla never claimed to be cost efficient. They are a performance car. Priced accordingly.
                                                      I charge them from a solar array. Pretty cheap for me.

Electric cars will make a small difference even if the electricity comes from coal, but they make a bigger difference if the electricity comes solar, Hydro or Nuclear.

                                                          Did you know that hemp plants can be converted into clean-burning charcoal? Why didn't Obama legalize it?

                                                          Work in coal mines has gone down for plenty of reasons: It's old technology, it's expensive, it's dangerous, it's unpopular, and workers are being replaced by robots.
                                                          I live near coal country and am totally anti-coal. The real reason for loss of coal jobs is the MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL. Rather than hire people to dig coal underground, they just use a few tons of explosives to blow the top off the mountain, then push the debris over the hill- burying thousands of miles of streams. It's disgusting. Coal production has INCREASED with fewer workers.

                                                          The internal combustion engine is NOT THE PROBLEM. It's the petroleum fuel. Rudolph Diesel designed the diesel engine to run on peanut oil. Henry Ford was building cars that ran on clean Ethanol from plants (mainly hemp). Congress outlawed hemp in 1937 after the oil companies lobbied for it. Ford's hemp car was 3 times as green as today's electric cars.

I have read other articles on the issues of Ev's and they almost always state... "depending on where the power source comes from" or "still better than gas cars"

Rather than hire people to dig coal underground, they just use a few tons of explosives to blow the top off the mountain, then push the debris over the hill- burying thousands of miles of streams. It's disgusting. Coal production has INCREASED with fewer workers.

Rudolph Diesel designed the diesel engine to run on peanut oil. Henry Ford was building cars that ran on clean Ethanol from plants (mainly hemp). Congress outlawed hemp in 1937 after the oil companies lobbied for it. Ford's hemp car was 3 times as green as today's electric cars.

                                                                            Do you ever stop and ponder.. "What if there's other countries outside of America?"

                                                                                But when they were big on the soft coal, the mining safety went out the window as they could not get it out of the ground fast enough. Hence the all those accidents they had 5-10 years ago. Anyone who wants to keep their job does not talk to MSHA when they come.
                                                                                Coal was at it's peak. Couldn't go anywhere but down when external buyers found other sources and made transports for it to get it to market. Again where there were no safety or environmental concerns.

The other can run a generator or a host of other implements I made for it. Peanut oil is very expensive if you have ever bought any. Most valuable part of the peanut. Diesels can be converted to burn just about any organic hydrocarbon. It has never been a secrete and many of us have been doing it for many years. It just needs cleaned, de-desalinated and often heated before injection.
                                                                                So what's the problem with everyone else ?

Many of you may find out just how much of a issue it is in your lifetime. The goal should always be to be self dependent by whatever means possible. Yes all of the above energy is the only solution.
                                                                                Everything has hidden cost and effects but some are easier to deal with when you think long term. And they are all possible jobs.

                                                                                When you are all done playing politics with energy, the vision I just explained is all you have left, but do you have enough time to convert before disaster ?

Rather than hire people to dig coal underground, they just use a few tons of explosives to blow the top off the mountain, then push the debris over the hill- burying thousands of miles of streams. It's disgusting. Coal production has INCREASED with fewer workers.

                                                                                    But regardless, it's true that EV cars are not perfect. I think you're missing the bigger picture.

                                                                                    There is all kinds of damage that we all do the environment every day. Driving cars is just one of them, especially when its just 1 person in the car.

                                                                                    Going electric is cheaper, pollutes less, saves energy. It's just smart all around, but it isn't itself a solution to all the worlds problems. But it's a good, important, safe small step.

                                                                                    Is it enough? No of course not, and no one thinks that. Not even me.

                                                                                    Will or should fossil fuels be eliminated? No. Electricity is great for moving cars, but gas and diesel are better for other machines such as big trucks and construction machinery.

                                                                                    Don't be so nervous. EV's, from what I, a bazillion consumers and some genius engineers, scientists and chemists can figure, are a good step towards keeping the planet .001 degree cooler. Just let it happen. You'll save a few bucks, breathe a little easier, get a little less noise on the road, and see a few speed records broken in the meantime.

                                                                                      This article states that "The burning of any fuel will produce CO2, but also possibly pollution in the form of particulates, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, and carbon monoxide"

                                                                                      Nope, sulfur comes from fossil fuels, not hemp biomass fuel. Again, hemp is the ONLY plant that is efficient enough to provide fuel on a large scale- which is exactly why it was outlawed in 1937 after big oil lobbied Congress. And the CO2 produced from burning the fuel is absorbed by the next crop in the fields- a green cycle.

                                                                                            Acepimp here is the main problem with hemp as fuel - it's carbon neutral. While this is normally a good thing, its not in this case. Hemp absorbs alot of CO2 - this is good! But it gets all put back into the atmosphere when burned, which is bad. If we switched to Hemp today, we would still be in the same place 100 years from now, environmentally speaking.

                                                                                            The trick is to offset the CO2 in the air. If we know we're going to drive 100,000 miles over 10 years or so, it would be great not to expel CO2 into the are that entire time. Building the ev car will add some, but driving it vs a gas car will add 0 CO2. And right now we need to remove the CO2 from the air, not add to it. Hence, EV's are good.

                                                                                            But as a whole, I agree with you that Hemp can be better than gasoline, but this is hard to measure. Gas comes from oil pumped out of the ground, whereas Hemp needs to be farmed. Using that farmspace to grow food instead of fuel is arguably better.

                                                                                            I found a good article on the challenges of hemp fuel at http://hig.diva-portal.org/smash/get...TACHMENT01.pdf

                                                                                            Long story short: It's not easy. But hey - Get Trump on the horn and ask him to do something about it. He's Trump and he can do anything, right? Surely he can do this for you, right? He's smart enough and cool enough, isn't he?

                                                                                            Don't want to ask him? Then stop changing the subject and blaming Obama.
