"Electric Vehicles are Actually Worse for the Environment than Internal Combustion Cars"

[wyome]

Buddy in Virginia has that bike...he loves it, nothing but nice things to say about it... primarily a commuter for him, but he does do some trail riding with it

And the bad news...16,000,000 tons of lithium known reserves on the planet earth. Largest known deposit is in Chile. Only known resource in the US is Nevada brine well. My guess is domestic production is 2000 tons a year. At least I know my fuel injected vehicles can run on 25% ethanol.

So, EV's = 100% dependence on foreign energy with current technology. No thanks.

When TSLA was at 90s/sr, Jimmy Cramer called TSLA a CULT STOCK.

Funny that I like Cramer, EXCEPT HIS SHOW "Mad Money."
Thst show sucks.

Oh man, I'd love an e-bike to zip around my neighborhood.

This is a good one for local and possibly your land up north. I like it for off road use,such as setting up targets wayyy out there.

This is what DOE has to say about algae biofuel. I know DOD has experimented with it in military aircraft. I was thinking grow this stuff in the desert wastelands and just use petroleum products for lubrication.

"The United States Department of Energy estimates that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require 15,000 square miles (39,000 km2), which is only 0.42% of the U.S. map, or about half of the land area of Maine. This is less than ​1⁄7 the area of corn harvested in the United States in 2000."

I've thought of buying a kit for my current bike. Probably too much cactus and goat heads up North for a bike like that unless fat bikes do better with that stuff. That'd be super fun though.

Tier 1 operator would ride on EV and EV motorcycle for stealth and deadly ninjitsu quietness.
