All well and good until the batteries in all these conveyances need replaced, the battery recycling and manufacturing creates a larger carbon footprint than hydrocarbon powered vehicles.

I have a hard time believing solar panels will be able to provide enough electricity when in their grand scheme everything will run on electricity, the demand is going to be huge, current grids will not handle the added loads imposed as they're barely can keep up with current demands. Third world countries don't even have a working electrical infrastructure currently so who is going to pay for the needed improvements there?

A lot of unanswered questions that no one knows the answers to. I suspect the tree huggers worked this all out at the Paris Climate Treaty in a couple days, and left a lot of loose ends no one has looked at the monetarily and practicality. The dreamers that have no common sense is how this stuff is born and when the crap hits the fan the little guys get stuck with cleaning up the dreamers messes.

BTW, I have never fit in to the predetermined profile of the average person, I won't fit the future one either. Trying to put the round peg into the square hole won't work unless the peg is rubber and has no backbone...………..

I find the biggest problem is getting what you said in their thick heads. And what are you going to do with all these idle hands, especially the ones that are streaming into the country without control with no skills and education?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
