wirinet:We run quite a few electric buses in London. https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/pollution-and-air-quality/cleaner-buses As for running them in Nigeria, we'd need to increase electricity capacity first as a marwa drivers might not like to depend on nepa for their daily bread.

Tdotbluejays:I doubt if that card will cost more than $3 or $4 to produce. Trump's a master grifter and shameless conman just milking these gullible Rednecks and Appalachians to death. |

Covid doesn't care about conspiracy theories. Listen to your Public Health Authorities. He leaves behind 5 kids. May his soul RIP.

Tdotbluejays:Dummy even after vaccination you expect us to wear masks Leftist authoritarianism is sickening How will people listen to you when you are confusing us about the science of vaccination and expect us to wear masks Liberals and confusion From LGBTQ to masks |

wirinet:In my opinion, diesel heavy duty vehicles might not reign for a very long time in developed countries. With time, batteries will become smaller, more powerful and less dangerous. Not long ago, we went from NiCad to Lithium Ion, and it keeps getting better. I still remember how bulky and heavy NiCad batteries were. NiCad holds less charge and takes longer to charge as well. It won't be long before the better Lithium Ion would be displaced too. Edison invention is finally taking the front stage after several decades or century sef. I also was not expecting to see functional electric trucks (pick up or semi) so soon, but here we are. Ford had an EV F150 on display at a recent autoshow. It's not expensive too unlike Tesla. There are Nikola, Volvo, Benz e.t.c. semi trailer trucks in production as well.

Just today: President Joe Biden, flanked outside the White House by executives from Detroit’s major automakers, announced a national goal of having half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. to be emissions-free by the end of the decade. “The future of the American auto industry is electric,” Biden said Thursday. “It is electric; there’s no turning back.” Joining Biden at the White House Thursday were Mary Barra, chair of GM, Jim Farley, president of Ford, and Mark Stewart of Stellantis. Several electric vehicles were arrayed behind Biden as he spoke, including the Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevrolet Bolt, Jeep Wrangler Limited Rubicon 4xE, GMC Hummer EV and Ford E Transit Van. “I have a commitment from Mary when they make the first electric Corvette, I get to be the first person to drive it,” said Biden, the long-time owner of a 1967 Corvette Stingray. The White House explained that the invited manufacturers — General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co., and Stellantis NV — are the biggest employers of United Auto Worker members. American car manufacturers have already announced plans to invest billions in producing carbon-neutral fleets. GM, for instance, has vowed to sell only zero-emissions models by 2035. Ford said it expects 40 per cent of its global vehicle volume to be all-electric by 2030 and Stellantis has said it is targeting more than 70 per cent of sales in Europe and over 40 per cent in the U.S. to be “low-emission vehicles” — meaning either electric or hybrid — by 2030. Biden in the spring asked Congress for $15 billion in spending to build a coast-to-coast network of 500,000 charging stations. He would get just half of that money in the bipartisan infrastructure package the Senate rolled out on Sunday. There are about 41,000 charging stations now available to the public in the U.S., according to government data.

Tdotbluejays:That foool can burn in hell. I do not feel sorry for these idiots not wearing masks. They deserve to die for their stupidity. With almost 700.000 thousands Americans dead of coronavirus, what evidence do these fools wants ?. Some people deserves to be mocked in death and these brainless Nazis fo not get any sympathy from me. The more they die the better for us in 2022 and 2024. |

PrideofLincoln1:Even though he bleeped around and found out. Even though he is a Darwin Awards recipient (Darwin award salutes the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it in a spectacular manner!), I still feel sorry for him since he had a change of heart. |

Tdotbluejays:Well if you look at it that way. My oldest daughter is a Nurse at one of the hospitals in Central Florida and you can't believe what she's telling me about happenings in hospitals across Florida not only in Tampa Bay where she works. That goes all the way to Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and all other States being governed by the RepubliKKKans. Like i said, the more they die, the better for us in 2020 and 2024. |

PrideofLincoln1:I get you. It's sometimes hard to have an atom of sympathy such people. The vaccine is free. It's a privilege that some in other parts of the world do not have. It's also no surprise that the delta variant is hitting the Red states hardest. The Orange Turd and many of his Republican colleagues have allowed a virulent anti-vaccine/anti-masking/anti-social distancing campaign to spread among their voters, reinforced by Fox News and other far-right wing media. With the emergence of a new and more contagious delta COVID variant, some of their governors, politicians and media started realising that all their campaigns are against their own self-interest i.e. their voters are dying off. It's even sad that their pleads for MAGATs to get vaccinated are falling on deaf ears.

Tdotbluejays:You are so right Buddy. Why will people like Desantis, SuKKKer KKKarlton, Laura the "Hitler Princess" and co are telling their uneducated followers not to take the shots while they did themselves. Of what use is trying to kill the same people you say you love by telling them the government is taking over their lives because they wants these people vaccinated against a deadly virus. My wife and i and our four children took our two dossages of Pfizer and now we are all covering our faces and social distancing. My gym relaxed the facemask thing but i go to the gym and still cover my face and i do the same when i am in the public arena. Ain't ready to kick the bucket now and i don't want to die gasping for breath because my lung is fvcked up. These idiots dying are the architects of their own misfortune and no sympathy from my side. |

benalvino3:That's good. I love that as long as they provide charging points that's very crucial. The only thing you mistakenly posted the first time was that they are made in Nigeria. |

Got you Ben, Assembled in Nigeria. That's a good starting point and i give my props to Hyundai and the Government of Nigeria. |

PrideofLincoln1:That's why it's hybrid we know that. I mean it's a complex system, more complex than electric cars and gasoline only cars. Different companies have different philosophy on how they use hybrid, it just a matter of what they want to do. However, Gasoline cars are not going anywhere |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 5:53am On Aug 06, 2021 |
benalvino3:Gasoline cars will soon phase away but it will be a long time from now. You have to know that most car manufacturing companies are spending Billions of Dollars on the Electric car production now. There's hardly any car manufacturing companies that are not into the new technology now because they know that's the future and that's why they are spending Billions of dollars. Plus it helps with the attention being paid to global warming. |

PrideofLincoln1:The number of charging stations will need to be a number of times more than gas owing to the time The electric power needed if from green sources will I think have to be from nuclear. There is such great fear and opposition to nuclear energy in regards to safety. I think there is some reactors that are not radioactive . And the hazardous waste has a way of being recycled. I read somewhere that its already being done. As for green energy and carbon non emissions that will take another generation or two.Renewable energy is not reliable depending on the source ie wind, solar . Hydros are massive and limited by the volume and height of the dam. Geothermal production is in the 1% range required. EV will come down eventually and loads of investment are especially in public tx systems, power investment, research and production facilities. |

obixcel:Not sure which town on Texas received 7000 immigrants who are COVID-19 positive from Biden admin. Town in lockdown. If you are allowing infected people the infection rates will go up. If media could report the truth, I doubt many people would be affected. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by obixcel(m): 7:56am On Aug 06, 2021 |
basilico:That's what many have been pointing out. It shows double standard and hypocrisy. Why lock people down, mandate mask wearing, Vaccinations and social distance while at the same time the Borders are open and Covid positive Migrants are allowed in in their thousands? Doesn't make sense. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 7:57am On Aug 06, 2021 |
Tdotbluejays:There are people with their reasons for not getting vaccinated. I'm for vaccines before you accuse me. What I don't really understand is the figures being touted about That 80% of new cases are delta variant. I have scoured the web and there does not seem any normal test for the strain unless in a complex lab that does genome sequencing. Mumbai got its first genome sequencing lab just two days ago for instance. Covid tests indicate presence of the rona, not the particular strain. Im sceptical to an extent of the prevalence of the delta variant, the others variants are still not rooted out.And the fact that there does not seem progress in rolling out a drug to treat the rona. Everything we hear is get vaccinated. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 8:00am On Aug 06, 2021 |
obixcel:The particular town tested them and found them positive. And then Chou Bai Den slammed Texas and Florida for vaccination and COVID-19 spread. Thats my grouse with media. Hundreds of thousands are wading through the border, ignored by media. How many of these super spreader caravans have COVID-19, are they tested, vaccinated and quarantined? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 8:44am On Aug 06, 2021 |
basilico:they want you to believe only people with vaccine are dying which is a lie. any time you see he was anti vaxx and he regrets, just a propaganda use for scare tactic. people should take the vac no problem but people with vacs are dying which is why they all put on the mask even when they are together. at this point the only thing they can do is hide the truth because of the bad effect it will have mentally on people should they need a vaccine in the future. most people who Die of covid in the UK are fully vaccinated and I have seen people who are complaining about going for the 3rd shot called the booster shot. The language the Pharmaceutical companies use something shows they are not certain. They use the word "Might Need" too much when they talk about Delta Variant and booster shots. |

benalvino3:A big show is being made of people who reject the vax, then die of COVID-19. This page has a case.Pre vax people were still dying of it and only a small fraction of those who got infected. A lot of info is being ignored. Many fully vaccinated have gotten infected. A cruise ship 100% full of vaxxed is quarantining the affected and I think locking down everyone. Congressmen fully vaccinated eg Lindsey Graham tested positive. A question was raised. If 100% of the pop is vaccinated, it means everyone will have the same level of immunity.If a resistant variant then comes up, it would wreck havoc . |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 9:23am On Aug 06, 2021 |
basilico:the way they find one person and sing that he refused to take vax and die, you can also find a person or two who took the vax and die as a result of the taking the vax and you can also find people who have taken the complete combo of the vax and are still dying. The vaccines themselves are not very effective, maybe its because of this Delta variant or variants are excuses to mitigate the bad publicity that will arise if the vaccines are not very effective. |

feedthenation:Are these badges for real? One even resemble the Nazi Eagle. Even though America has its own Eagle, that particular badge is aimed at the Nazis within the party. You know the Nazis used to carry around Eagle badges. They like to do subtle signalling to the loons in their party. You can guess which of the badge the Proud boys, Boogaloo boys and militias will be carrying.
