The year of total lockdown where maybe one billion people in poor countries will die of starvation. That is the problem with Californians. They are empty as hell.Only brainless milleneals and Yuppies would believe the propaganda. Yeah the Tesla nuts are quite ignorant and certainly not ecologists or scientists. &nbsp;First of all for all the hoopla Tesla represents not even 1 % of all cars sold. Secondly electric cars do not reduce pollution. Here is why. Where in the hell do you take electricity in the first place ? From power plants !!!!!! that burn coal, natural gas or uranium. The electric car is real bad idea. The batteries take also tons of metal and energy to be produced. In sum using electric cars is total stupidity. In the process of generating the electricity for the car you lose 40 % of it transporting it !!!!! &nbsp;The zero carbon emission electric car is a mirage and bad ecological and economic policy. And suddenly the idiotic politicians will wake up with a new problem. Not enough nuclear plants, coal and natural gas plants to generate more electricity.</p> https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2020/08/22/will-2020-be-the-year-when-electric-cars-go-mainstream.aspx?ShowAllComments=True#10220988/23/2020 2:23:35 PM24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:1022098mar938444<p>Recently in California, utility companies were turning off power or using rolling blackouts. There isn’t enough power available for a majority of cars to be electric anytime soon.</p> https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2020/08/22/will-2020-be-the-year-when-electric-cars-go-mainstream.aspx?ShowAllComments=True#10216888/22/2020 3:52:24 AM24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:1021688Almond<p>We &nbsp;have no use for a car. &nbsp;Since more people than ever are using mind-altering drugs and accident numbers have increased, we will only drive trucks. &nbsp;I even drive a truck for around town errands. &nbsp;For work days, we need a big truck. &nbsp;Electric vehicles will not have the power we need for that. &nbsp;However, I would like to find a good used electric golf cart for scooting about our land doing chores. &nbsp;I am hoping to find one in a retirement community near a golf course where people must have the latest models. &nbsp;Ugly is fine as long a it is functional.</p>
