By the way, a owner/dealer does not sell/steer customers in any shape or form...They do however sign the checks, now steering people around distressed old age merchandise is not what they do. You have said a lot of stupid things in the past but this takes the cake. Did you really just say a dealer does not steer customers in any shape or form? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They sell for about $15,000 new. Match that economy with any street legal electric vehicle. These cars will run anywhere including mountains at any temperature. And of course more lies. EV's are owning the Pikes Peak race because they aren't affected by mountain elevation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Plant + 2,732 RP November 14, 2023 Many ICE fans on here dont appreciate the mass uptake of ICE vehicles in the US took best part of 50 years. See the stats from 1900-1950 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1246890/vehicles-use-united-states-historical/ Please bear in mind the Ford model T was released in 1908 as well, so mass production did exist fairly early on. Back then ICE vehicles were expensive compared to owning a horse, pretty similar with ICE and EV's now dont ya think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So goes the global push for renewable energy and decarbonisation, another sign of the reality check facing the proposed energy transition away from fossil fuels to ‘renewable’ energy such as wind.   https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/china-and-germany-firing-up-coal-power-while-wind-takes-a-back-seat/ Edited November 14, 2023 by Eyes Wide Open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eyes Wide Open + 3,552 November 14, 2023 (edited) 3 minutes ago, TailingsPond said: They will soon add more transmission lines and storage. Umm you sure about that? What has happened and why? Swedish energy giant Vattenfall has announced it is to shut down development of the Norfolk Boreas site, off the Norfolk coast. It was awarded one of the government's Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for the first phase one of the biggest offshore wind zones in the world last year. CfDs effectively guarantee a fixed price for the electricity produced for 15 years. It meant that if prices were low, the companies would get a subsidy. If prices rise, the gains must be paid back. But Vattenfall said it had seen its costs, driven by inflation, supply issues and rising wages, soar by 40%.  The money the government had agreed to pay them, the firm said, would not cover these increased costs. Chief executive Anna Borg said: "Conditions are extremely challenging across the whole industry right now, with a supply chain squeeze, increasing prices and cost of capital, and fiscal frameworks not reflecting current market realities."  What does the scrapping of a wind farm plan mean for UK renewable energy? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-66267860 Edited November 14, 2023 by Eyes Wide Open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"George Freeman, MP for Mid Norfolk, said he was "not too worried" it would undermine the government's long term commitment to net zero." Norfolk County Council said while it was "naturally disappointed" the development had been "paused" the company had "reassured" it the rest of the Norfolk offshore plan would still go ahead. "If the government gets the policy wrong on the current round of renewables auctions and doesn't keep pace with increasing costs," he said, "the UK could end up even more reliant on foreign gas, leaving households on the hook with higher bills." "The onshore work is still going ahead. There is a feeling that this will be resolved "because there is no alternative" as one expert put it." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
