Electric Cars

Glenshaw PA

Description

From what I can gather, if you don`t venture far from your home, electric cars would be great but if you travel hundreds of miles to your camp or to visit friends and relatives your trip will take MANY hours longer than usual depending on where you charge and what kind of batteries your car has. You can travel around 200 miles on a full charge, depending on battery of course, and you will have to stop and charge for a minimum of 45 minutes to get to full charge? 45 minutes, right? That sux. Can our infrastructure even handle electric cars roadtripping if they wanted to? It costs way less to run electric cars which is awesome for your pocketbook, but our grid couldn`t handle fleets of electric trucks and busses yet, that`s bad, BUT, if they came up with a way for electric to fast charge (like 10 minutes) and can build a grid that can handle it, that`s awesome. Now, what would power that grid and using what resources? What would happen to grids in neighborhoods if everybody in the neighborhood bought electric cars and charged them every night? It seems, if you don`t travel much by way of your car, and can afford it, electric is the way to go the next time you buy a new car right up and until the entire neighborhood plugs in, then it sux. If you like to travel, electric isn`t for you unless you can afford to keep 2 cars. If you are a family with 2 drivers sure but if you are single, not so much. One thing I know for sure, singles LOVE road trips. I know I did. If we had to keep stopping to charge I would have been PISSED. Buying electric seems to be the smart way to go right up until you learn about the power grids not being able to handle it but if they can figure that shit out, it`s doable. My concern is if the main goal is to go green and stop destroying our planet, how will that work? I foresee millions of windmills darkening our landscapes and dams being built in the darndest places in the next 20 years or so. That sux. For them to reach the goal of going green, it must be done, otherwise we are still raping mother earth which is the problem. "There is no other place that symbolizes America's glaciers like Glacier National Park in Montana. However, recent studies present strong evidence that in the coming decades the park will have none of the glaciers from which the park is named after. Glacier National Park lies in northwest Montana, cradling and spilling into Canada to the North." "Global warming has accelerated glacier melt. Between 1966 and 2015, all of the 26 named glaciers in the park got smaller. Some lost as much as 80% of their area, but the average loss was 40%, Glacier National Park tweeted this week." That sux.
