If you don't know, just say so. :) According to us oldtimers, a windmill could be used to generate electricity as well as rotary motion to...
While there is a trend to do that, there are days and weeks where there is virtually no wind where I live in Central Calif. That can be a...
Are you sure about all those more efficient alternatives Troll? Not every car is available in every market. I don't consider a $60K car more...
It works OK. The update is via micro SD card and is easily replaced by the consumer. I find it to be as usable as google maps. There are...
That's easy to remember. How many windmills is that? And where do you store all the energy that's not used when it's generated? After all,...
I won't contest that, but do you know for a fact that the 33kWH figure used by the EPA uses is output from the refinery? That would be...

That's your opinion, but it is really a step backwards to replace a gas guzzler with a car or truck that is designed without regard for...
That's a strange way to phrase things. I'm not sure how to interpret it. The point is... we have limited electricity supplies now, and much of...
How can you say that a PHEV has 5 times the part count of a Tesla? That's just silly. If you use 'assemblies' ( motor, AC, wheels, etc)...
I looked up "Grand Falls Windsor". It's a small town, only 2 - 1/2 miles from end to end. I'd keep it in EV for that first hour of driving...
