It's not.What if the role of CO2 in the changing climate were vastly different that conventional "climate scientists" had proposed?

And probably no experience driving an EV either. I have also enjoyed to experience driving EVs.
And to be clear, I'm not for one moment deluded into thinking EVs will save the planet. They are just less worse than ICEVs.
The biggest benefits will be the vast reduction in harmful particulate emissions in our cities and (in Australia at least) the fact that the energy required to power them is all made from locally generated sources rather than foreign oil which we are way overdependent upon.
Federal deficit has nothing to do with pushing people to EVs (except maybe making the deficit worse with all these subsidies).I want to reduce the federal deficit. Freedom to pollute has a cost. It would be appropriate for the polluters to pay society's cost.
Where does it stop? Should we allow industrial waste to be dumped in the rivers again? What else?
Not in computer models no. Garbage in garbage out.It's not.
I said they were happening already...
You will be dead by the time what you're worried about will happen, so stop worrying & dry your tears.
yes, haven't you heard all of the movement to abolish the EPA?
Why wouldn't you want oil filled rivers again? Reagan was a mistake, should have never let the EPA happen
They call them "RV Sites", princess
RV camping is awesome!
Only some very specialist/niche vehicles. But we don't make ICEVs either. Car manufacturing ended here many moons back. Lack of scale.Do they make EV's in Australia?
Who's talking about models? The relationship has been firmly established from observations.Not in computer models no. Garbage in garbage out.
Also good to go with engines of 26hp and larger. I guess just take a road trip to Nevada to buy an "outlaw" sub 26hp engined machine.Larger gas-powered equipment such as generators and large pressure washers will still be allowed. However, bans on those are slated to take effect in 2028.
**Correction: A previous version of this story failed to clarify that the law applies only to gas-powered equipment made after December 31st, 2023. Equipment manufactured prior to 2024 can still be sold at retailers across the state.

It is not me saying this, it is the government of California.
I believe they get Tesla Model 3s and Ys from China.Do they make EV's in Australia?
What observations? With what equipment? Over what period? In what location? Did that location change over time? Just because it may or may not be warmer now compared to when you were a kid doesn't mean much. There was 1-2 miles of ice near my home at one point. There were dinosaurs at one point too.Who's talking about models? The relationship has been firmly established from observations.
Yes this is typical of centralized control. They drive buyers from a 12hp mower to a 26hp mower even if it is overkill.Also good to go with engines of 26hp and larger. I guess just take a road trip to Nevada to buy an "outlaw" sub 26hp engined machine.
You have those big land train trucks there that would probably have enough roof to help charge a battery. An efficient diesel tractor plus an electric assist. It wouldn't replace the diesel engine, but could reduce consumption.Only some very specialist/niche vehicles. But we don't make ICEVs either. Car manufacturing ended here many moons back. Lack of scale.
If for some reason we have a supply of new vehicles cut, well at least the existing fleet can continue operating for some time. You have time to work out a strategy.
If for some reason we have our oil supply cut, well we have just 3 weeks supply of petrol and diesel on hand at any one time. That's it.
Our oil reserve beyond that (about 3 month's worth) is held in the United States. We pay for the privilege of storing oil in Texas.
Meanwhile all electricity generation is from domestic sources of energy (water, wind, sun, coal, gas)
I blame the State and the District.I blame all the hot air coming out of Washington.
And many do include the energy consumption and emissions from the battery.
The IEA published this years ago:

Yep, manufacture of EVs requires more energy and emissions than ICEVs. But the extra is far outweighed by the much lower emissions required to operate the vehicle.
Who's talking about models? The relationship has been firmly established from observations.
What you describe is a series hybrid. Toyota's designs are parallel (mostly) hybrids. Parallel is more efficient - Toyota uses a simple planetary gear that's 98-99% efficient vs. the 85-90% efficient series hybrid generator --> inverter --> e-motor path. Parallel is also generally less expensive as the power electronics don't have to handle combined ICE+battery power and the motor/generators can do double duty. The only real advantage to series is design flexbility. You can put the engine/generator anywhere you like and snake wires all over to reach the e-motor. A parallel hybrid needs a pretty direct and preferably very short path to the drive wheels.Imo the current hybrid crop is kind of lame.
The new ram or the i3 rex would be a better solution imo.
Most hybrids funnel the petrol energy through the drivetrain. Far more inefficient I imagine as well as more complex than a generator
No, I'm not like you lot. The future is actually important.Would you agree to put your great great grandchildren into slavery for your own comfort today? Do you not care what happens to future humans?
Not degenerate enough to drink, princessDo your parents know you're sneaking into their liquor cabinet and then playing on the internet?
Reagan didn't create the EPA, Abraham Lincoln did and announced its creation at the Gettysburg address.
see I told you, yes, we have to make the rivers red with oil againShould we allow industrial waste to be dumped in the rivers again?
The EPA allows all sorts of adulteration of our environment. The EPA Is unconstitutional.
You must have missed the recent report that showed that due to accelerated tire wear EVs have significantly higher particulate emissions than ICE vehicles.And to be clear, I'm not for one moment deluded into thinking EVs will save the planet. They are just less worse than ICEVs.
The biggest benefits will be the vast reduction in harmful particulate emissions in our cities and (in Australia at least) the fact that the energy required to power them is all made from locally generated sources rather than foreign oil which we are way overdependent upon.
No, they aren't at 1/4th price yetSo has anyone ordered one yet?
