Political landmine. This is like the time you catch the repeat felon at the murder scene but this is the only time he actually didn’t do it.

EV at Baker

This is why you don’t road trip with an EV

Ungoy

1/28/23 12:44am

Yep. That way everyone can buy two cars instead of just one. A realistic daily driver and a primping virtue one.

Weren't 19% of new cars in california EVs. . .

Zoobieman

A study last year concluded that CA would need a huge number of new power plants just to meet the EV need.

Just use the CCS adapter and get on another network in California.

Nice to see people treat fossil fuels like the very finite resources they are.

I don’t care about the environment, I care about flying.

No, you care about politics.

I actually do, I’ve only voted democrat once….

So you prefer the lower thermal efficiency and higher pollution rate of the Brayton cycle over the Otto cycle? Got it.

Division Bell

You got any good articles on these bacterial strains? Would love to read them!

Bluedomination

I would recommend searching for Big Island (Hawaii) and BP, ExxonMobil and biodiesel to start.

Division Bell

How’s that electricity being generated that they’re charging their car with?

Ungoy

1/28/23 6:22am

yeah, we can always find something to burn. We can’t power a Jet with coal….

Bluedomination

1/28/23 8:34am

Yeah because it’s always political. Good day to you and good bye.

Ungoy

1/28/23 8:44am

That’s exactly it. If we left politics out of it I’d hope the discussion would

Bluedomination

The only one bringing politics into it is you.

Ungoy

1/28/23 8:53am

This whole thread is political! A social media post about EV owners being idiots

Bluedomination

1/28/23 9:16am

If you want a legitimate discussion then get educated on energy sources, challenges and solutions for each thermodynamic

Division Bell

The dude has a non-political point. EVs can run on any fuel source.

Read his posts again. He’s all about politics.

Nobody on this thread brought up politics until you did. Fact.

You deny the OP is political..

So drop the politics and address the science. . . It really is that simple

Zoobieman

1/28/23 9:27am

The science is that our grid can’t sustain a mass switch to EVs

Ungoy

The government will do what ever is politically expedient. If getting re-elected

How much coal getting burned up through Baker every day?

Squirt

1/28/23 6:05am

For CA: coal used to generate electricity both in state and imported is a whopping 9.7% of the total mix. So…not a lot.

AtomicHamster

1/28/23 8:35am

There's a big chunk of energy imports that's "unknown," so it's almost certainly higher than that though

Mike Honcho

1/28/23 8:43am

Who cares where energy comes from as long as we can always have it.

Bluedomination

Good thing we can generate electricity with infinite methods

I don’t drive an EV yet for several reasons. None of them are political.

Correction - No EVs get the range their ICE counterparts have.

Interesting thing for me. I think a Tesla is better in the country, not city.

Zoobieman

I agree, EV’s are only good commuters/every day cars. They can’t tow, I doubt
