Feb 10th 2007 9:45AM (Engadget)I cannot be bothered to argue the toss with this. I'm afraid that there are people like you who just swallow up the crap fed to them by various governments and big energy suppliers who are desperately trying to remove the "bad guy" image that they have associated with them.
The biggest and most environmentally damaging aspect of these cars over the long term is their batteries, not only do they get the materials to build the things from pits in south America causing crazy damage to the environment but once they die (after about 8 years at the moment) they are impossible (impossible) to dispose of cheaply, resulting in people simply dumping them somewhere.
The second biggest cause for concern is this illusion that charging a car overnight is better for the environment... WHY? Its still using electricity. And where does that electricity come from? It comes from power stations. And what do they do? That right! They pollute. So, instead of all our cars causing pollution, it will be all of our cars charging that increases the workload for the power stations that in turn pollute even more each day.
Until nuclear power is used in nearly every power station electric cars are just not worth the damage they cause.
Hybrid cars are almost there, although they still have the batteries, they generate their own power for them. Then again, they are still bloody useless.
Wind farms are another thing that pisses me off. If anyone was serious about using them for actual energy production they would take them ALL off shore where there is always wind and no visual or environmental or noise pollution (yes, thats right, they are noisy, they destroy natural habitats and they look like hell). Unfortunately thats expensive, so they just passify people by building them in areas with lots of public interest in the subject.
The real funny thing about all this is that I think that Global Warming is a crock of shit. It exists, but its not our fault. Its a natural process. Its probably the reason any of us are even alive. Without global warming a long long long time ago we wouldn't have this toasty warm atmosphere. It would be a bit colder. Sure, we are accelerating the process, but its still a natural thing, and its going to eventually fuck something up anyway whether we were here or not. Think ice age, or total climate shift.
Wooo!
Hippies/Greenpeace/energy efficient houses/macdonalds suck!
