New Electric Cars Are Better
Just showing off some of the cool new electric cars and putting to rest some of the myths out there. When people think of electric cars, typically they think of older ugly slower models, lead-acid batterys, and BS propaganda they’ve read slamming the “electric cars”(as though they all carried the exact same attributes) The battery technology has changed(and will change even more when nanowire battery becomes common), the speeds have changed, the climate versatility has changed, the prices are changing, the car companies are changing… everything is changing for the better. I expect to see a lot more support for ev’s during and after 2010.

if these cars catch on and become mainstream they wont stay cheap to operate for long. they will find a way to gouge us, get rich and fuck things up like they always do.
@incognito84 hehe – you’re awesome ;D
@SuperiorMind *Bows* XD
@incognito84 Congratulations – you have successfully impersonated/depicted the most imbecilic, foolish, naive, misinformed, oblivious, simpleminded, shortsighted, carelessly uneducated, self-indulgent, irresponsible, misguided/brainwashed, disregardful, stereotypical ignorant redneck opinion I have ever witnessed in a very very long time… You get a broken cookie… Try to remember to chew before swallowing.
I don’t believe you are a real person – but it was amusing. ;p
Electric cars are for communists. Global warming is a myth perpetuated by communists to pussify our entire nation. The right to drive, eat, own any kind of weapon and anything else we want is our right as American citizens and if I want to drive a vehicle that gets me 10mpg while throwing burning styrofoam out my window and shooting at every animal I see then I can because these are my rights as an AMERICAN.
@creamyfilling102 Kind of; it isn’t a wheel, though, it’s just a big flat platform. Those platforms could very well be part of city streets and sidewalks, especially those with high traffic density. This thing isn’t my idea, by the way, it’s just one of the many solutions suggested by “crazy” scientists (Edison and Franklin were considered as such, and their inventions pretty much revolutionized society).
@alvarojmarquez are you suggesting some kind of human powered hampster wheel??
@creamyfilling102 Sorry for the double post, YouTube is kinda weird lately. A final thing, though: Eolic energy, solar energy or any kind of clean energy is not enough to support the whole popullation by itself; that’s why all those technologies are being developed together and will surely be implemented together, acting like pieces of a more complex network. There are virtually infinite ways to obtain our electricity, we just have to use our creativity (only the statu quo limits us).
@creamyfilling102 Just putting your foot on the floor transfers part of the energy you use when you walk; harnessing that energy uses more or less the same principle that is used for collecting energy from the sea (kinetic energy from waves and ocean currents) or the wind. Instead of using a turbine or fan, a “pushable” (sorry, english is not my main language) platform is pressed by thousands of people, or even cars. This energy is then transformed into electricity and then stored in batteries.

I do agree electric cars ARE good for the enviorment; but most of them are ugly ; ~;
@alvarojmarquez our bodies transfer energy when we move, but that energy comes from food, ultimately from the sun, either from vegetation, or animals that eat that vegetation. we can harness energy, but not enough to support 10 billion people or more.
@creamyfilling102 You transfer energy when you make a step, and there are ways to gather that energy and transform it into electricity. As long as something moves, heats, emits light or simply transfers energy of any kind, we can harness that energy.
what the fuck are you on about?
@LOLDISNEYLAND blah blah blah,,you sound like a politician. lucritive or not, you can’t squeze a lake from a sponge.
electric cars are easier to fix than ICE based cars. Electric cars have far less operational components than ICE cars. Electric cars have something like 20 components just for the drivetrain. Whilst with ICE, you have more than 1000 drivetrain components. If your power controller on your electric fails for some reason, you just unplug it and plug in a new one. A 10 minute fix. The circuitry isn’t very complex either. We are not dealing with computational circuits here, just power transmission.
We are screwed if nobody does anything about the shortage. But as economics always prevails, with shortage there is a huge amount of demand. So people are actually working off the hook to find new convenient energy production techniques to take a chunk of that demand and profit from it. Its a very very lucrative industry and energy shortage is fortunately highly unlikely. Damage to natural resources and human overpopulation are much greater problems than energy shortage.
‘one day the fossil fuel companie will go bankrupt’.
This is why they are all investing in alternative energy research and setting up alternative energy business units to slowly transition their primary mode of income to another. BP and Shell have whole new divisions for solar and wind power now and their tech is quite good. When you think about it though, petrol is still fairly cheap compared to say, bottled water. lol So oil isn’t really at peak production yet.
were not in trouble yet we can harvest a shit ton of energy from the SUN. we can also use nuclear power and in the future more wind turbines. also we can harness energy from underwater thermal vents. so there are plenty of resources. were just so deopendent on fossil fuels. we will figure out something. one day the fossil fuel companie will go bankrupt.
Dump fossil – go Electric!
Yes but god is so so creative, the new energy will be the “technology of light” this will utillise energy from the sun, in our atmosphere. Currently under development. (we have 75 years of oil left)
nissan leaf then mitsubishi miev then all the rest of the cars go fuck yourself biitches
We are in trouble no doubt – we need to focus on ways to effectively minimize the problems as they arize — continuous adjustment. Thorium nuclear, new solar technology, and improved wind turbines are only a few ways to gather electric energy. I think with new technology – improved efficiency – not only can we become more sustainable — but also reduce our living expenses and minimize vulnerability to external dependencies. Large industrial needs will be a major challenge.
even if we all drive electric cars, we still need to produce electricity to run all of them. for this we need coal and gas. someday, when we run out of fosil fuels, we’ll be screwed. our world has grown so big that solar wind, and all other renewable sources will not sustain us. a couple hundred years down the road, everybody’s screwed.

This is most renewable energy saver and revolutionary challenge against emission problem produce by a gasoline engine.
