electric car - CNN BULLSHIT (2-2-09 12:31 PM)

[4NZZZ454CATEngine]

People are complete liberals about electric cars! I am staying with the Triton Fuel powered V8!

[Violatorman]

Electirc cars sucks i wouldnt buy one i rather stay with gas car

[Helikid2244]

True journalism is the 5 W's who what when where and why. Let the viewer get the facts, and let them decide, we do not need so called Journalists that give there narrow opinion.

[cecilbdml]

Whatever, guys. It either replaces what we have, and does everything it does, without us having to change everything in our lives (where and when we work and live, etc.), or it's crap.

That's not in the pay of anyone except your own best interests. These things aren't, yet. Don't charge someone with something that isn't so, just because they think your brilliant idea is just so much rubbish.

[DINGLEtheBERRY]

fuck we just have to clean house. this is worse than meth.

[DINGLEtheBERRY]

wow what a couple a pukes.

[MetalManDan7]

it sure doesnt show that CNN is sponsored by Exxon Mobil....

[stanmuntz]

i felt sick after watching that. how does that chick (and the dude) sleep at night? the things people will do for a paycheck!!

[CANCELTHATONE]

What a load of horse shit , CNN are almost certainly in the pay of BIG OIL , over here in europe most of their advertising is

for companies like SHELL, TOTAL , BP etc , when will a NEWS CHANNEL HAVE THE BALLS TO TELL IT HOW IT IS !

[KarenRei]

Is this a parody or something? Did she not see the '!' on the dash? And you "stop in the middle of the road"? It "stops" when out of charge no different than a gas car "stops" when it runs out of gas. And "nowhere to fill it up"? Jesus Christ, you're in New York City: there are about 500 million power outlets around you; pick one and take 10 minutes of charge to get enough range to drive the rest of the way or to the nearest higher-powered charger. Is this really that complicated?

[cecilbdml]

@KarenRei , you try to plug into someone else's outlet in NYC and see how long you last. Electricity isn't free, and no one (including you) is gonna pay for someone else to run up their bill because the outlet was 'there.' And how far away from you is this mythical 'higher-powered charger?'

Use some common sense before spouting, PLEASE.

[KarenRei]

1) There's a thing called "asking first". 9 times out of ten, the answer is "yes"

2) 5 miles or so of electricity costs a dime.

3) Even tiny Israel has plans to build a million charging stations.

[cecilbdml]

1. Then they aren't all over the place; that's like asking for a cup of sugar because you don't have any way to get to the store.

2. Not sure what you're using to calculate the cost per mile, considering the fact that there's no such thing as a set price for electricity per Kw/h.

3. Plans to build does not mean they're already there. The saying about counting chickens before they hatch comes to mind.

[KarenRei]

1. What are you talking about? Nine out of ten places let you charge. Can you imagine if you could get gas in nine out of ten buildings if you ran out?

2. US national electricity average of 10 cents per kWh and wall-to-wheel efficiency of 250Wh/mi.

3. Oh, for crying out loud. You expect people to wave a magic wand and be instantly converted over to an EV infrastructure?

[cecilbdml]

1. NYC must be a real friendly place these days. Tell me another one. And if you know anything about batteries, it's going to be more than 10 minutes to resurrect one of those things.

2. That's with coal and gas. You guys want to do away with those. It's far more expensive over here in Oregon (approx 24 cents/ Kwh, since we have to subsidize the non-producing windmills.

3. It seems you do, since the electric car ISN'T designed to replace what we have now.

[KarenRei]

1. And Southern California, where you experience a ~90% rate on people letting you recharge, is supposedly a paragon of friendliness by comparison? Sorry, but such a trivial thing as letting a stranded motorist plug in is something almost nobody refuses. And we're talking ten minutes for a *small fraction of a charge* (~5 mi), not a full charge.

2. No, your prices in Oregon are expensive due to taxes. And most environmentalists don't want to get rid of gas, just coal.

3. No, I expect years.

[cecilbdml]

1. Where are these locations where the power company credits you for recharging? Every power company I've used, charged you a certain amount per Kwh, with no consideration to time of day or usage. As far as charge times, there isn't a battery car worth a darn after only 5-10 minutes charge.

2. No argument. But they DO subsidize wind, which is part of the tax.

3. Again I would ask, then...what is the incentive to move to something that doesn't do what your current transport does?

[Nichen]

Jesus Christ I'm getting embarassed over here watching this. Awfully stupid but very interesting to watch.

[yakyakyak69]

Only complete morons take ANYTHING on TV seriously. That's why they call it "PROGRAMMING".

Sheeple!

[Odziz]

CNN - Claptrap and No News

[ApparitionZ]

or Corrupted News Network

[619random]

Wow good way to promote saving our planet! All they talk about is how expensive it is and how stupid that chick is cant even drive a bumper car! I wouldnt be suprised if exxon was one of their sponsers.
