Zero Emissions Electric Vehicles Now

What happened to the promise of electric cars, EVs? With the greater efficiency relative simplicity and regenerative breaking, is there an engineer out there who does not think the EV will out preform the internal combustion engine with in a decade. It's not just the environment, now it's the money. With the price of oil and gas, the EV is even more economical. In London, with some greater experience with electric, the average driver gets a range of over 100 miles at a cost for full recharge of 2.87 pounds worth of electricity. Do the math.

When California relaxed the 2003 deadline for ZEV, zero emissions vehicle, the automakers leasing electrics took the ZEVs off the market in favor of hybrids. Some EVs are even being crushed. Is this not engineered scarcity? Why would you pay $3 plus a gallon to charge your battery when home garage electricity costs significantly less? Read the laments of former electric Lessees. The only way to beat the energy cartel is with consumer demand! Let's bypass hybrids in favor of pure plug-in electric or at least a hybrid with pure battery running capacity and plug-in option. The pure EV does not require a filling station at all.

The EV may need a South-Wind Heater in Alaska, but cold starts won't be a problem. There are places in the interior where super-conductors might even improve efficiency. I jest, but maybe not. Galena is installing a pebble reactor because heating oil costs $5 a gallon --- cheap electricity.

What I want in my garage is an electric with 4wd and regenerative breaking. If I were a racing buff, I might consider entering an EV in the Indy 500. I bet they would outlaw it.

Utopia

The Devil promises a utopia of worry-free egalitarianism beckoning you to an Orwellian hell of despondency. Its a matter of giving or taking. Work for your family and community supporting the common good, or take from the wealth of those who produce and promise benefits to those who do not and those destroyed by the theft of their own creation.

Inflation

The Fed containing inflation with intrest rates to the point of unemployment, is like treating pneumonia with blood letting. Try treating inflation by reducing the number of government employees. With weekly layoffs, the Fed could adjust the numbers of layoffs from week to week to achieve what higher interest rates could not. Newly ununemployed would be less willing to pay inflated prices. The Fed could thus achieve an end to inflation, and lower interst rates as well. A lower ratio of government employees versus productive employees in the private sector could be a plus as well.
