  • The more I learn about Big Business and gov'ts (with all the NWO fuckers lurking in the shadows), and their suppression of hemp, alternative energies (and anything potentially FREE & beneficial to the planet), PLUS their promotion of dirty fossil fuels, pesticides, wars, GM food, etc., makes me realize what a daunting task "we" face!

    By "we", I mean those of us who want a world without war, famine, disease, poisons, intolerance and religion!

    I'm sure I forgot a few things, but I'm a bit high!

  • @user56781 Tesla Electric cars can do 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. Faster than a Lamburghini. They travel 250 miles on a few dollars of electricity. They break down less as they have few moving parts. Where have you been these past few years. Did you just come out of a coma? Prison?

  • No one with a brain could stand to listen to this tart for more than 5 seconds. I don't agree with your message, but even if I did, I would have my doubts if it's coming from this twit. Here's a hint, don't make an edit every second and half, it really sucks. No credibility to the content and visually obnoxious. Let me guess, you guys are all "occupy what-evers". Get a life!

  • duality is the reason of our incarnation here....to learn both sides.....in my eyes he as allowed us to learn the hard way......a very good way to drive the lesson home.....you will see things change....very soon and you will understand why we all suffered along this road...

  • @pirreli5 Even if God did exist, after what I just told you, not a God I would want to know. I'd be better off not knowing such an abandoning father to the majority of humanity. I am a good person for that.

  • @pirreli5 If God was so purely intelligent, he would not allow millions of people to die each and every second. I would do better than that if I was god. Even better, I would have given humanity the tools from the start, instead of letting them progress slowly, and LOTS of suffering in the process. If he had the ability to create humanity and "apparently" everything, he has the ability to stop all the suffering, but he probably won't because, he never has, to our "observable knowledge".

  • @luc59457 travel will be like a new revolution in the not to distant future.....every thing hollywood has shown in fiction .....reality can beat that......these elite....are on there last legs.....its a question of time when this happens....

    god is pure intelligence...and we are all one ......this shift will be for the intelligent ones...

  • The only real problems with electric vehicles are initial costs, counterparts not being standard and some of low quality, and non-complimentary power plants for the area which can all be addressed. Skeptics like to use these criteria as some reason to place a damper on this great technology. Like I said, all those criteria can be addressed. Other than this, electric has superiority over combustion in several ways.

  • @Umaxen Just like some submarines do!

  • They are building the wrong type of electric car. You need an electric car which is made like a typical locomotive with small gas or diesel engine which is attached to a generator which in turn runs one or more electric motors. No transmission and an engine which runs at either a constant 700 or 1200 rpm. The cars could be driven 1000 miles without stop and yield 100 mpg. Don't think it would work? Some locomotives are 50+ years old and run on the same principle. (diesel+gen+electric motor)
