Speed Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Looking at Nevada-the only areas that voted Stupid were the Vegas region,the Reno region and,it looks like a stretch South off I-80 between Beowawe and Battle Mountain,South towards Austin & Eureka. ( Don't really know WHAT to make of that...). Elko was pretty solid Republican,having experienced 4 years of the Liberals "better ideas".

Speed Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Nope-I'm wrong. Actually,that little weerd strip there (and it looks like another over past Winnemucca and North) appear to be bits of the vast uncharted wilderness not inhabited by humans. So-it WAS just Reno and Vegas that helped sink the US. Thank you-thank you ver' much. Elvis has left the building.

Speed Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Wouldn't surprise me-Now the O-boy has 4 more years,I think pretty much ALL gasoline and Diesel vehicles are soon to be made extinct. Watch Califorina's actions-they usually set the trend on user-unfriendly measures,and the real world ends up following suit. I wonder how many solar panels it'll take to haul 100K of freight down the road.

RowdyRebel Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Company I've got my truck leased to is considering trying out a natural gas truck or two...not sure how/where they would fuel them, since there really isn't an established fuel network. But then they are also experimenting with e-logs, too. Funny thing about that is the e-logs cost the company money to instal them and then more money to run them. Then, EVERY driver I've spoken to that has 'em absolutely hates them because they have been forced to get 1 to 2 motel rooms PER WEEK where they used to make it home every night.I wonder how long it will be before those silly things are only placed in company trucks with sleepers....or how long it will be until they stop buying day cabs....because we KNOW they aren't going to go against the ATA and decide that the e-logs are not beneficial.Personally, I'm not going to put one in my truck. I'd rather park it and change oil & tires at Walmart than to run a truck with e-logs or any other electronic tracking device. 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Speed Now if some one would explain to me how electric vehicles are "zero polluters" why we use more "dirty" energy to make a Volt than a conventional vehicle , more energy to keep it charged, more energy to make the batteries and import them from Asia and no idea how to dispose of the lithium ion batteries when dead?

Speed Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 What we need to keep in mind is that LOGIC and COMMON SENSE have NO place in modern Politics . THEY dream up ideas,WE'RE forced to make 'em work or suffer the consequences. BTW-As "Educated" as most of them are,they're pretty STUPID on the subject of what is or isn't possible.

Lets not forget how much it costs to buy one.-roughly the price I'm paying for my house. Unless they can make one I can comfortably LIVE in,or I manage to acquire enough disposable wealth to buy one "Just cuz" they're never going to be a worthwhile buy for the THINKING Public.

Pawel Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Well I sure wonder if that electric buggy had air conditioning, rear window (not to mention heated), power doors and power seats. Always makes me wonder how much we could improve the mileage of all cars if we gutted them. But no, everybody want comfort. And for free. Or almost for free - there's less and less oil left, no real alternative for it and everybody wants to get it - can't you see the trouble comin'?
