RE: What We Can Learn From Tesla About A Major Goal And An Overriding Vision

Actually Geo-Thermal is one of the best chances for electrical generation. That is based upon nothing more than advancements in drilling technology.

Electric vehicles having zero sustainable long-term effect.. basically this is causing the destruction of the environment on a huge scale.

That is true. There are impacts upon the environment that the supporters overlook. Of course, to dismiss it as unsustainable or make the assertion that it is more damaging to the environment (or worse health) than fossil fuels.

It can be argued whether what comes out the tailpipe of a car is actually causing any change to the climate. What cannot be argued is how it is now a good idea to inhale it.

As always it is a multi-faceted situation which people like to isolate into something simple.

Arguably the safest sustainable energy even though it is pretty costly is nuclear however I can also counter with the Chernobyl Fukushima Three Mile Island and Hanford.

I lived most of the past 30 years within 80 miles of a nuke plant. Built in the 1980s, solid is a rock, in a state nowhere near fault lines.

Honestly enough which would you rather have a big huge mining disaster, pumping for oil, dead eagles from wind turbine energy, or nuclear meltdown...

True non are good but when you look at the options, yes we have some nuke meltdowns. However, considering how many are in operation and for how long, not a bad ratio. Plus, the newer plants seem to be safer.

Smoke produces CO2 which plants breathe.

Dont say that. It ruins the boogeyman story.

from the batteries especially.

Here is the crux if the discussion. And how is this resolved. Because batteries are not only in EVs and it is not decreasing any time soon. The world is acquiring a larger thirst for batteries, EVs aside.

Naturally, they cant produce enough now to keep up with demand. So what is the solution. Obviously they are going to have to greatly improve to keep pace. Price is only one factor, and a secondary one when the production cant keep up.
