In less than 10 years they have advanced from geek toys to very respectable vehicles that will blow the doors off a 'vette at the drag strip. But do they actually save energy? I drive a 2014 Volt around town. About 2 miles per kilowatt hour. So if I charge in the middle of the night when I get a really time of use rate of $0.123 a KWh. Remember this is California with very high utility rates, $0.423 peak rate KWh. Comes out to a buck a gallon for gas. Nice for me, thank the others for the subsidy. I get about 33 mpg on gas. Lots of non hybrids get 45-50 mpg. Am I really saving natural resources? Like a Tesla that states zero emissions vehicle. How did that electricity get generated to charge the car, plus all the rare earths mined to make the battery? I do have solar on the roof. Still a wash to me if it will pay for itself. California, probably. We have high electric rates and they keep climbing. East coast with 4 moths of snow, may not be financial prudent without subsidized costs. And will it save energy overall? |

As I have told you many times, I have no interest in debating with the posters in rec.boats. Whatever you may think of my college degrees, at least I have them. Harry, I can sorta understand where you are coming from. If your level of experience and knowledge is pretty much limited to a college degree or two in English and "critical thinking" concepts, it's all you can crow about (which you do often). IMO, you vastly overestimate the value of a college degree. I actually feel badly for new college graduates who often enter the workforce thinking they are automatically "entitled" to a high paying position in their first job with student loans to pay off over the next 10 to 20 years. Some of us also have hard won college degrees plus a lifetime of schooling, military service, training, teaching, running businesses and other worthwhile, mind expanding experiences. To imply that your college degrees somehow makes you "better" or "smarter" than others while downplaying the importance of other educational experiences only goes to demonstrate an extremely narrow, elitist mindset or maybe even someone who is somewhat embarrassed by their own limited relative education. I can honestly say that spending almost 8 years of my life (part-time) pursuing a degree was worthwhile but it pales in comparison to what I learned and experienced in other endeavors and experiences. If I had to do it all over again but had to choose between college and what I've experienced and learned outside of college, I'd skip the college gig. |

Yeah, we never had hurricanes before 1/20/2017, That *******! No surprise you and your fellow Trumpsters are ignoring what the climate scientists are saying. Perhaps we should be looking at what the economists and political science people are saying. There are 4-5 billion people in the 3d world who all want electricity, heat in the winter, A/C in the summer and a car. No matter what we do, increased energy demand is coming. Global warming is caused by population growth and upward mobility. Do you think either will stop? Of course it might. I worry a lot more about nuclear winter than I do global warming. As you are not a climate scientist and have absolutely no serious scientific credentials in that field or any other scientific field, I'll believe the climate scientists and other scientists. And what the latter are doing includes trying to force us to develop and implement fossil fuel alternatives and to cut back on the use of fossil fuels. You are not a climate scientist either and have absolutely no serious scientific credentials in that field. There are many scientist *with* the proper credentials who argue that climate change is a naturally occurring phenomena and mankind, as important as we may thing we are, has very little to do with it. As non-scientists we all have the right to believe what makes logical sense to us. You just happen to believe anything anybody tells you if it fits with your general political views. === There is clear and convincing evidence that the planet is indeed getting warmer. There is also a great deal of evidence that warm cycles have occurred many times in the past, as well as cold cycles, aka, the ice age. There have been serious scientific attempts, through the study of core samples in ancient ice, to see if past warming and cooling episodes correlated to levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Apparently there is some evidence for that also. The jury is still out on what caused these past fluctuations in CO2 but it's fairly certain that it wasn't caused by the burning of fossil fuels. There's a lot that is still unknown, that much is for sure. Reducing our dependence on fossil fuels for energy production seems like a good long term plan for many reasons however. Europe is way ahead of us in harnessing wind power, and we are somewhat behind in exploiting solar energy. But there are some encouraging signs that we're making progress. For anyone who doubts that the planet is getting warmer, I'd encourage them to watch a documentary on Netflix called "Chasing Ice". It is very well done, and watching huge glaciers disappear before your eyes on time lapse photography will make a believer out of you. It is totally apolitical and non-judgemental. I agree with everything you said there. Don't even need a 'snerk'! The problem is that Democrats need 'global warming' as another round in their ammo pile. |

As I have told you many times, I have no interest in debating with the posters in rec.boats. Whatever you may think of my college degrees, at least I have them. Harry, I can sorta understand where you are coming from.* If your level of experience and knowledge is pretty much limited to a college degree or two in English and "critical thinking" concepts, it's all you can crow about (which you do often).* IMO, you vastly overestimate the value of a college degree. D'uh. No, you don't understand. I'm not referring to the degrees themselves, but the processes involved. I've* explained these more than once, and I see no need to do it again. The "processes" involved to earn a BA is an introduction. Experience doing things is the real education. Many can skip the intro. |

He's demonstrated knowledge and understanding of every topic, often to a degree that surprises me. He didn't start out that way but has obviously put in the time and effort to become more and more informed. He's learning to be a POTUS and the improvement is obvious. |

And, of course, there is your undeniable expertise on mental illnesses. I don't think anyone questions climate change. It has changed many, many times since the birth of planet Earth. The question is how much have we contributed to the current cycle of global warming. The bigger question is what makes some think we can do anything about it. The overwhelming majority of scientists who know about climate change say we can slow down global warming, if not reverse it. Slowing it down is important. I agree there are plenty of climate scientists why think man is contributing to global warming. The number who actually believe we can do anything about it seems to track the grants they get from alternative energy companies and politicians. They like working on plans but nobody seems to have a plan about how we will get the Chinese to stop burning coal or how we stop people from clearing virgin forests and grasslands for agriculture. It certainly is not that Al Gore carbon credit scam. Right, because there's nothing we can do about it, so let's not do anything. Pretty much your answer for anything and everything. You sure are a pig headed old fart. You don't understand science at all. We think there is a problem to be solved. Scientists are investigating possible causes of the perceived problem and possible solutions and remedies to those possible causes. It's not as easy as getting Hillery elected, you know.

It was born a 'hillbilly', if you insist on that expression. Bluegrass music and 'coon hunting are in its blood! The nice thing about campgrounds, most of them anyway, is that there are usually trails in the woods just made for walking a dog. If and when you ever get your RV, and if you go to a campground in it, you'll see what I mean. Check out Shubie Park Campground. Plenty of hiking opportunities. |

"If and when you ever get your RV, and if you go to a campground in it,* you'll see what I mean. Check out Shubie Park Campground. Plenty of hiking opportunities." I may as well camp in my back yard as go to Shubie Campground. Too close to home. Better to go up to the Inverness area of Cape Breton just below the Cabot Trail. Speaking of trails...they had to close the Skyline Trail (on the Cabot Trail) this week. Seems the Moose were getting a bit rambunctious. |

If nothing else, it helps change our mindset and nudges technology along in the right direction. Look at what's happening with electric cars. In less than 10 years they have advanced from geek toys to very respectable vehicles that will blow the doors off a 'vette at the drag strip. If you are getting the electricity from a coal fired plant, you haven't gained anything. The gain is even questionable with gas fired plants. For the most part, the economic viability is back loaded on the tax payer in a fairly regressive manner. They have moved from being souped up golf carts for geeks to rich people's toys with the subsidies being paid by people who can't afford one. Solar power is much the same. People rich enough to put $40,000-50,000 on their roof get subsidized by those who aren't. So, let's not do anything. Got it. Do you have solar on your roof or drive an electric car? What exactly are you "doing" except trolling on the internet? Bill is doing far more than you and you only give him ridicule. (I also have collectors on my roof) |
