    Can you imagine America, when the citizens no longer depend on oil? We will be a 3rd world country then. Progression, not digression. Laundry list of lunatic ideas!

    Dependency on oil hasn’t really been a triumph of capitalism. In some ways I think America might be a stronger place without having to consider oil deals with other nations.

    Anyways......politics are banned on TW....so let’s leave it there. When I finally have my electric Taco I challenge you to a race across the Rubicon......with beers afterwards......if I’m not 135 years old.

    :cheers:

    It’ll chooch like a locomotive. Maximum torque at minimum speed......that’s the beauty of electric propulsion.

    It would certainly have some benefits but they need to make it look somewhat presentable. I would ride a Vespa before I would drive that heinous thing

    Seriously doubt that. Gas is cheaper than water.
    And gas is going to get cheaper as soon as they finish all those pipelines from the Permian Basin....
    https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=36673

    Natural gas
    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/i...atural-gas-is-sometimes-given-away-2018-12-27

    Liquified natural gas......I know a Russian engineer who is working in Wharton TX on a demo plant of turning natural gas into lquidfied gas, gas/fuel for vehicles.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/16/...ment/liquified-natural-gas-world-markets.html

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/arielc...h-massive-new-permian-discovery/#588e715a2c91

    Not to mention the lacking infrastructure for electric cars, and what fuel makes that electricity for those charging stations....and Physics 101 energy used to produce electric car batteries....and how to dump those spent electric car batteries...to replace with new ones. Electric car batteries ain’t friendly to the environment.

    Maybe we will see:
