    Are you going to take some time off before you leave so that you'll have more than just a Monday to go play?

    Why is it an assumption that battery/solar power is progress?

    Have you seen the size of the holes in the ground that are made by lithium mining?

    Do you want to go further in to hock with China and Russia? Because that's where a majority of the raw materials come from to make solar panels.

    You do realize a huge majority of the Nation's power grid comes from coal, right? So when you're charging you're "clean" electric car (essentially anywhere East of the Mississippi) you're charging it with coal power.

    And as of right now, the ONLY reason electric cars, and solar energy are "affordible" is the fact that the Government is churning out subsidies to keep it afloat. Without government cheese it falls on it's face because it is fundamentally un-economically viable with available technology.

    But hey, it's the "future" :notsure:

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    I'm kind of torn

    On one hand, electric cars do have a lot of advantages. Instant torque. If we do find a clean way to generate electricity, then it becomes cleaner transportation.

    On the other, yes, we essentially do strip mine for lithium. And our energy production for them isn't clean.

    I kind of want to revisit a movie I watched in high school called "the electric car." Its kind of presented as big oil killed the idea of the electric car, but had some solid arguements and ideas...
