Don't forget bicycles!Yeah but you still have your feet so you could just walk, much better than burning fossil fuels.

Those are still privilege means of movement as they can be forced to be licensed just as cars…Don't forget bicycles!
Dad didn't think you had to wear everything, just have it with you - but he also thought if you had a serious wreck you would be better off already wearing warm clothing than potentially having to put it on while injuredI was driving my tank about a half mile from home when I threw a track. Inside the tank it is so warm that I was only wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes. I had to walk home dressed like that with 12 inches of snow on the ground with a sub zero temperature
Then the EMTs will just cut it off anyhow to stop all the bleeding.Dad didn't think you had to wear everything, just have it with you - but he also thought if you had a serious wreck you would be better off already wearing warm clothing than potentially having to put it on while injured
I grew up in the mountains of upstate NY. Many roads were pretty much the only signs of civilization and it could be anywhere from 3 to 30 miles to the next place where you would find people. People still die from exposure in the high Peaks area of the Adirondacks. They spin off the road and no one finds them for days. Even on I-87 there are long stretches with no cell service and the only comms opportunity would be walking to wired emergency phones scattered along that routeI always wear a light coat when I am in my car in the Winter. No reason to wear a heavy coat to walk to 50' or so into a store and back.
I also always keep my heavy coat, hat, heavy gloves and boots in the back. Not just in case something happens to my car, but in case I need to help someone else.
There are a lot of stupid people in the World.
EV batteries are much bigger and much heavier than gas tanks. Even little EV cars can have batteries that weigh over 500 pounds and big car batteries can get to be way over 1,000 pounds.
The car makers publish a driving range for EV cars which most people think this is how far I will be able to drive between charges.
What they don't tell you is the batteries lose some of that capacity as they age so the range goes down.
Another thing they don't tell you is if you charge your batteries to 100% and use them down to some low percent that is the hardest duty cycle on the batteries there is and you will get fewer charge cycles that way.
And then when the batteries break you get to find out just how very expensive they really are - shocking.
It is probably in the owners best financial interest to charge the batteries to maybe 80% and only use them down to 20% or 30% to increase the battery life and reduce costs - if you can get by with the reduced range.
Going from 60% down to 40% is even better for the battery life but the useful range would be so disappointing that few people would do that.
Incidentally this charging stuff about battery life is true for all Lithium battery types today whether they are in your phone or your laptop or your cordless drill.
The left wouldn't care if their electricity came from child slaves running on treadmills,
You never tell us just where that electricity is going to come from…
And even if there is electricity, the charging takes a long time on top of the waiting time through the line in front of you - you could easily be there for hours - wishing you had your '69 Trans Am back.
Lol, yes clearly I'm the one who needs help.First off, if you actually believe that crap, seek psychological help NOW.
Your ration/reasoning centers in the brain are under attack from something.
I see the same thing but its even worse with truck drivers, especially newbs their first year driving. If you're in MN and its 10 degrees out and a foot of snow on the ground but you're running from the truck to the store in crocs and a track suit you just don't have or don't want to put on actual winter wear then that's on you. Any long haul truck driver with more than a year's experience packs for 4 seasons all year round. Sure it was crocs weather when you left Miami but you're in the Great Lakes region now and it can go from 70 on Christmas Eve to snowing by Boxing Day. Along with that, winter prep includes plenty of nonperishables, water, truck supplies and never get below half on the fuel gauge. I've been compiling a winter survival truck supplies list for all the years I've driving and my company puts one out every September, usually coinciding with the earliest chain laws (Colorado if I recall begins Sept 15). At best you could be stuck at a truck stop for days until the storm clears but in more dire situations you could be in a ditch with no one seeing you're there and you either have to burrow in or dig out and hike.
My grandfather used to tell me stories of his trucking adventures and back then the interstate infrastructure wasn't as evolved as it is today. They also didn't have cell phones and GPS so the CB radio was their most likely lifeline IF there was anyone in range. My own experiences haven't been as fantastic as his but I've still been in situations where preparation was well served. Once in particular it was a couple of days in a small truck stop which was overcrowded after the highway closure so the diner ran out of food, not having planned for the number of people and length of time before the road reopened. Glad I had plenty of canned goods and water to see me through because even once the roads reopened it took another day for all those trucks that had me blocked in to clear out.
Lol, yes clearly I'm the one who needs help.
How can I capture some of that free sunlight and cram it into my house to power my appliances? I'm more than ready to stop paying for electricity.
You should warn people before you type this kind of thing, I nearly choked to death after shooting my tasty ice water out of my nose lol.Not being a 'Conservative' entitlement/welfare rider dragging their feet, I have to pay for stuff, so you have to pay for stuff.
You said free. I'm asking where is the free electric power from the sun. It shouldn't be a challenging concept, though it does shoot holes in your fairy tale.
Project much?That is obvious, but at the risk of feeding yet another troll...
I have read your write up of what it took to get you where you are and that is not attainable for even a small percentage of 330 million people in this country and even less so in the world. Your lefty buddies will not let the people have the land resources you are using to collect “free” energy…The easiest is Renewables since the 'Fuel' (wind, sun, falling water, etc) are as free as anything gets.
