Green sucks cap & trade is scam Batteris are bad Toxic waste--- produce-- 57 Chev

Hydrogen is a energy medium. It's mad ineffecient, and you burn shitte to make it. It's a pipe dream.

In the short term, it's PEVs, but in the long term, there are no cars.

[mrjpvoid]

bitching about it not working will not make it any better.

[sbeer6er]

doesn't it take more energy to charge batteries though? so that 50% is out the window.

[uthere1]

damn my car is out of batteries....its ok i have a laptop

[3runsmackheads]

ima just go with gas more fun

[MrCuddleBunnz]

lithium ion batteries can over heat and explode...sell them to the terrorists and they got car bombs with style

[quosmo1]

all you morons talking about 'but we have to generate that energy and produce CO2 anyway' :

- it is way more efficient done in one place, not independently in each of our engines, spending most of their time on IDLE in traffic

- there are lots of other ways to generate electricity than fossil fuel burning

- electric cars have other default efficiencies such as regenerative brakes..

and so on.  there is no argument against it... electric is better.

[crash0510]

How about solar power generators... There is no substitute like that for gas

[nrdesign1991]

Yeah, but what's up with the additional CO2 which is produced by making electric energy for the battery? It seems no one gets it: We're polluting the air, no matter what we do.
