What would it take for the U.S. to go fully "green"?

[mark francis]

Perhaps by the end of the century, perhaps sooner.

There will never be enough child laborers and slaves around the world to mine the rare minerals that will be needed to build costly green energy transportation systems and vehicles.

Problem-prone electric cars will hardly ever be more popular with Americans than gas-guzzling reliable vehicles.

yes in cold weather or for long distances they suck.. and no where to charge them at apartments and condos

Cars with internal combustion engines had many problems as well, but technology has changed that.

My 1982 Buick Regal had a 3.8 L V-6 engine and 110 HP. It had a carburetor got about 17 MPG
My 2010 Toyota Yaris has a 1.5 L 1-4 engine and 106 HP. It has fuel injection and gets 34 MPG.

Electric cars will improve as technology develops. And of course, Hydrogen power might well be even more efficient.

A silly Faux viewer and fundie Trumpling like Mark Francis is hardly capable of comprehending the present and the past, let alone the future.

Minnesota Cities Went All-In for Electric Transit, But the Buses Couldn’t Handle the Cold (msn.com) 12-26-23

Minnesota Cities Went All-In for Electric Transit, But the Buses Couldn’t Handle the Cold


Furthermore, Duluth's electric bus fleet has provided inadequate comfort by failing to keep riders warm in winter.

Meanwhile, the Twin Cities' fleet has proven comparatively unreliable. In Minneapolis-St. Paul, electric buses have broken down at twice the rate of traditional diesel-powered buses.

All of this leaves the general impression that electric buses lack efficiency and do not meet riders' needs.

The most significant aspect of this story, however -- or at least the one that makes it relevant to readers outside of Minnesota -- involves the perennial unholy alliance between government and business.

In 2021, Metro Transit received a federal grant to purchase a fleet of electric buses from the California-based manufacturer Proterra. Duluth received a similar grant in 2015.

Earlier this year, Proterra filed for bankruptcy despite a public endorsement from President Joe Biden as recently as March 2022.

Now, in addition to malfunctioning or inadequate buses, the Minnesota cities have no immediate vendor.

There ^^^ is a very dumb comment.
Technology is an ongoing process, EV and Hydrogen technology will continue to improve,

This will happen, and it is already happening in China.
You want our country to remain a slave to Big Oil. That is unsustainable,and it cannot and will not succeed/

You are, as we all know, a believer in talking snakes and the End Times.

Your delusional to deny the problems with electric cars they are numerous. I support electric auto but they need a lot more technology to work right . Power storage and and they type of storage that is not affected by high heat or cold. By the way where is most of Chinas electric produced coal 62 percent

What kind of electric car do you have .

Shutting down the transportation of people and goods in this country in accordance with leftist delusions is about the stupidest thing leftist leaders could do to damage the US.

What kind of electric car do you have .

I drive about 100 miles a wdeek, I do not have an electric car.
I have two enenrgy efficient cars, a Subaru and a Toyots Yaris. I spend about $40 every six weeks for gasoline.

Electric cars are the future. Yes, the technology needs to be more widespread. But Big Oil is putting up obstacles to prevent electric from developing what is needed.

Big Oil is ghe enemy, MAGA their ally.
