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.

Election 2024

The November 2024 election presents a significant challenge, transcending the traditional Democrat versus Republican divide. This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

National Debt

If the Fed were to issue new Bonds at varying maturities, call them P Bonds for people, and use these new bonds to pay down the the outstanding US debt to a functional level, and then credit these P Bonds to all US citizens, it might solve the debt crisis. The American people would own the debt which they already do but would now own the asset and receive the interest. This strategy would return wealth to the middle and lower class from which it was stolen by bad management and return the assets to where it will grow the economy and the velocity of the GDP.
