  1. That's what I said, your view of the world doesn't extend past what you see out of your window and your keyboard. It doesn't matter what you think, it's happening anyway. Because you know so much more than the people who design and build the things.
  2. The last time I voted Liberal was back during the original Trudeaumania in the sixties. The first election I was able to cast a ballot.
  3. Volunteering does make one feel good, but it doesn't pay the bills.
  4. Well, if the cost of hydrogen turns out to be the equivalent of $10 a litre, it won't fly. Not because of ideological reasons, people just won't be able to afford it. So your plan is communism. That is already a failed ideology.
  5. Got to agree with Moe on this one.
  6. Depends on the cost. These things also have to be economically viable.
  7. EV batteries come with 8 year or 160,000 km warranties. That's longer than 90% of ICE warranties. Stop displaying your ignorance.
  8. I've already told you but you are incapable of learning anything. The findings of geologists, glaciologists, climatologists, oceanologists and NASA satellite measurements mean nothing to you. Your attention span and bonehead R10's doesn't extend past looking out your windows and what you read on deniers blogs.
  9. "They" say a lot of things and of course a lot will depend on how the hydrogen or electricity is generated. If your method of producing H2 is only 70% efficient and then you burn it in an ICE that is less than 40% efficient, it is an exercise in diminishing returns.
  10. What's the difference between using electricity to make hydrogen or storing it in a battery? Fuel cells use a lot of platinum in their construction so they have their own impact on resources. If you burn hydrogen in a conventional ICE, you are using huge amounts of electricity to produce the hydrogen and then burning it in an engine that is probably not more than 40% efficient. I don't think we can make the transition without using more nuclear power.
  11. Cars using fuel cells are EV's. Instead of storing electricity in a battery to power an electric motor, they convert the hydrogen to electricity on board. Right now most hydrogen is produced using natural gas and involves emissions. Producing hydrogen using electricity through electrolysis requires huge amounts of electricity and putting more energy in than you get out. The biggest problem with hydrogen is the process used to extract it and the main problem with batteries is their low energy density. I don't think it is one or the other, both will probably be needed.
  12. You need a gun. I think you have him confused with Trump. Trudeau won’t claim the election was stolen and refuse to concede when he loses.
  13. And yet you need a gun to make you feel safe. Trudeau. Meh, be glad to see the back of him.
  14. You do that and keep your dead kids. Enjoy your bunker and living in fear. One day America might grow up and stop playing cowboy but I won't hold my breath
  15. Over 48,000 Americans were killed by firearms in 2021. Just over 34,000 were killed by motor vehicles. I think my statistics are fine and yours are nonsense.
  16. Sure, why don't you get rid of licensing and all the testing and other regulations that go on with automobiles. They won't be any more dangerous. Who needs a licence, anyone who has never driven in one should be able to jump into a car with 500 HP and go out and play in the traffic.
  17. We have our solutions and responsible people still get to own guns. Solutions are your problem but you don't want any. You are quite happy with the status quo.
  18. Your whole country seems to be mentally ill these days. You really aren't interested in the mentally ill, they are too good an excuse not to change anything.
  19. Yup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(2000–present) All real shitholes. Man you live in an awful place, it must suck living in fear all the time.
  20. How is posting a link shouting? Damn statistics, they always get in the way of a good fiction. Very inconvenient.
  21. Sad you have turned the American dream into sending your kids to a school built like a fortress full of armed guards and the kids have to do active shooter drills as well as fire drills. I guess that's an education of a kind Carry on crazy. Enjoy the body count.
  22. Well they certainly weren't the ideal mass murder weapon, you could do better with an axe.
  23. The carbon tax in BC is now more than the cost of gas. Gas cost 3.159 per GJ. Carbon tax 3.238 per GJ. Plus Clean Energy Levy plus GST.
