Trump is truly a man set on destroying our planet (because Obama was for saving the planet). Must reverse Obama--the welfare of the country be damned.
Literally sickening it right. And so is Trump.

To be viable for me, I'd lose towing and hauling capacity by having the added weight of hefty batteries to be practical.

Gasoline and diesel are more practical for me than electric is.

Probably a coal fired steam turbine generator. Or a nuclear power plant.
Let me guess...

Meat comes from the grocery store too LOL

We have a volt and plug it into our electrical outlet in the garage. It’s no different from plugging in a lamp.

Wow!!! This reminds me of the person who asked, "Why do we need oil? We can all just take the bus."

Why do you say that. My husband travels 2 hours a day for work in the city. He puts gas in his car maybe twice a year. And our electric bill has barely gone up. So what’s the problem.

What’s wrong with these people ? They really do want to go back to the 50’s. Dump Trump and the whole Vile Republican Administration. They want to cripple this country not move it forward.

Those crumple zones are only as effective as the amount of structure used to construct them. Less structure equates to less absorption ability.



Secondly you ever hear of physics? All things being equal someone in a smaller vehicle is going to sustain more injuries when they hit a larger vehicle. Think along the lines of bat and a baseball, you don't want to be the baseball.

Well if the settlers of your area were at all sensible, they setup near running water. Which now provides power.

I would suggest you do not rely on misleading titles/information. The standards that would be rolled back have not been implemented yet and with the rollback would still be higher than they are today.

There's no mountains or hills in Florida to make a dam...
