Foreign oil dependence a 'massive vulnerability' as defence experts call for EVs, green transport

The dilemma is that new products take time to improve and become efficient, so if these vehicles aren't being bought in big numbers there won't be money to invest in research. There's going to be a hard growing curve if conservatives don't accept green options.

Plants are green to our eyes, because plants do not use green light. Rather the color green of plants is a waste product from multi spectrum solar energy input and photosynthesis. Plants use primarily red and blue light and will excrete the useless green light as a waste energy product. It is interesting that there is a major push by the Left to make excreted energy waste; green, the basis for the future of our energy. This tells the whole political story; it is based on crap.

It is wasteful to be forced to buy inefficient green energy, that are more expensive, even with cheating in the form of tax credits and free battery charging. It will require cheating to make a "waste" approach look better than it is. If electric cars ever became mainstream, charging energy will not be free and the electric grid will be overwhelmed, causing electricity prices to sky rocket. The grid is not currently designed for a pure electric future. It is designed to be assisted by fossil fuels in cars. Prices may double.

Picture an all electric war machine that is stopped in its tracks, by a small group of hackers, who can disable the power grid that it depends on. Once the electric sitting duck war machine is stopped in their tracks, then a smaller petrol based war machine will run over it. This may be a good lesson to experience if it was not for the soldiers who are the pawns.

I am for a free market approach to energy, that allows all forms of energy to play by the same set of rules. There should be no government cheating allowed, so the leaders can set up insider trading for themselves. The best products will be the most cost effective and therefore cheapest for the middle class and poor. It is not about the smaller percent of elites who can afford to be fad extravagant. Force and exclusivity is not how a free market works.

Electric cars were getting better and better even before gas prices were allowed to double by Biden. It takes years to get a new model from drawing board to market and there is now an electric pickup truck that has a range of 300 miles. The propaganda about the need to cheat, so development will occur tells us about a hidden agenda. Manufacturers were already making provisions even with $2.00 gallon gas during Trump since that truck took years to come to market.

The left has been actively against fossil fuels, decades before the manmade up climate change scam appeared. This was just the latest fear mongering tactic. The same boneheads killed nuclear power, which could have prevented their claimed of global climate change due to fossil fuels. The boneheads led to the over dependence on fossil fuels, which then is driving their assume climate change. They need to get out of the way and let the adults work less they make a worse mess.

There is a hundred times more data; geological evidence, that can show that the climate change is natural to the earth and has occurred many times in the past. We are still at the end of warmup from the last ice age. That warmup already melted 2000 miles of glaciers before the scam made a big deal about melting glaciers. Manmade climate change has no other data than the assumed present. If you are selling waste as food you need to overlook the majority of natural facts, so you can live in the fantasy.

For decades the global warming and climate change computer models have been predicting disaster that does not materialize. The polar cap were predicted be have been melted, 10 years ago. The reason for the bad model results, is they do not include all the natural causes and cycles, but they only assume manmade, which do not add up as well as sales pitched. The results are always over blown to help get the drama needed to sell green waste. Natural appears to be have a different agenda that makes it harder to run the scam.

Why do you regard it as inferior?

They had electric cars in the stoneage? Consider me skeptical.

Sounds like you would see any attempt at bringing needed change this way.

In my opinion.

A little history....first EV was around 190 years ago

"Start in the 1830s, with Scotland’s Robert Anderson, whose motorized carriage was built sometime between 1832 and ’39. Batteries (galvanic cells) were not yet rechargeable, so it was more parlor trick (“Look! No horse nor ox, yet it moves!”) than a transportation device. Another Scot, Robert Davidson of Aberdeen, built a prototype electric locomotive in 1837."
