Fools, that will not work out well. Found this posted over at the Challenger Talk Forum. He has a lot of good thoughts and this is well done IMO. Restores faith that things will not change that much more for the remainder of my life anyway.

Its truly a DAMN SHAME these AHOLE politicians don't actually do their research. This is an excellent video and can guarantee not one GREEN ass with their head stuck in SAND has watched an nor care.

Great watch. I've watched a lot of his videos but hadn't seen this one. Thanks for posting.

Saw that the other day too. Good information for the layman.

North America is too large not to have ICEs for the foreseeable future.

No mention to the disposal of batteries kind of surprised.

No wonder we can make so much noise! That gas IS high powered. As long as we can burn an appropriate amount of rubber with the gas, it’s being hybrid enough for me. I can always get on my 45 mpg Harley when things get bad.

Not to mention the huge load it will be on the power grid. Next they will probably require everyone
to put a windmill on their property.

As it is now, if they would plug in when the sun is shining, that helps. Go home and plug in (as most people need to) accentuates a big problem of grid supply/demand as the sun is also setting.

I just don't see how this would be feasible there, or here in the US for sure. We've spent some time in Scotland in out of the way places with a rental car. I would imagine residents that have lengthy drives will find this impractical. Unless a way is found to radically improve trip distance for a given vehicle it won't work for plenty of people, anywhere.
