The tesla is missing one of the greatest thrills of owning a viper or vette, and thats the sound of the V8 and V10....stating that gas will be $13 a gallon in 2017 ,is both ridiculous and ignorant as the millions of people that make less than $25k a year and have a daily commute of more than 20 miles round trip can't drive cars anymore, Thats a ****load of lost tax money for the government, also you'd have to be making over $70k a year to afford a plane ticket, It would kill Automakers truck's,SUV's ,and Van's sales aswell. Sorry to say ,but were more likely going to blow ourselves to smithereens before seeing all electric cars and $13 per gallon gas sales.
I realize that you are in denial, but I never promised that the increases in gasoline would not ruin our ecomony. I fully believe that gas price increases
will stop many people from driving internal combusion cars and they will have 2 switch to electric or go broke at the pump.
And, no need to take my word for it when you can just wait and see for yourself. Just remember, you heard it first from me!
And , you could be very right about blowing ourselves to smithereens before seeing plug in electric cars but I hope you are wrong because I really hate gasoline and oil companies and I certainly would not want to die to protect their ill gotten profits, which they dont deserve.
What we have both forgotten to mention,is that the world oil reserves will no longer be able to supply gasoline at even the current consumption levels ,let alone the increased consumption levels anticipated for 10 years from now.
Oil wells go empty too , just like your gas tank . We are, right now, empting
existing oil wells at twice the speed thst we are finding new wells to replace them with.
And,if that is not bad enough, the new wells we are finding are less than half the size of the wells we have already 98% emptied.
For sure, something is going to have to happen at some point. But I can't tell you just what or just when.
We could and will go to war over oil, but that will only be a tempory band aide
qiuck fix and eventually, as the oil companies run out of oil, the oil companies will loose their DEATH GRIP on the world and inventions and technoligy that have been supressed for 60 years or longer will someday be allowed come to light and change the world.
That is assuming that we have not already poisoned ourselves to death on carbon dioxide,carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and other petrolium combustion by products.
Keep cutting down trees and burning gas,oil and coal and just see what you end up with.
This is the first winter ever on record in new england on Jan 15,2007 and we have not had even a single flurry of snow yet. Usually, we would be in the middle of the third or fourth white out blizzard.
But now, we have GLOBAL WARMING instead, from gasoline,oil and coal greenhouse gasses.
I realize that you could discount this if I were a democrat, but on this one issue they are right and I never though that as a conserative republican
I would be saying anything like this, but here I am , confronting reality right in the face.
Like they say "I'm from Missouri, show me."
I been showed.
