This too shall/should pass.

My understanding of current battery technology isn’t near as green as stated. Yes they are low emission. But what do you do with them when they won’t hold a charge anymore? Are they recyclable? I’m told no. And certain toxic components of them are coming from third world countries where folks gather the stuff barehanded, exposing themselves to health risks to earn a dollar, sometimes kids. We have a lot more to do before I’ll jump on that wagon.

Got a E-mail from our power co-op just last week saying not to worry but...for the first time ever,we might have few rolling black outs this summer.
I thought thats cool, I don't even know a person with a electric vehical yet

here in Texas we won't be trying the new technology on marine engines,kuz, IF IT DONT RAIN SOON there wont be enough water left to put a boat in the lake , heard tell the closed lake waco, belton and stillhouse last week to boats and even the beaches on some of them too.
there is an upside though , fish in a barrel .....

What about nuclear, wind, solar, wave and unicorn farts?

Just put my order in for a 2028 Tesla Boat!
