Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Is there any question that most Libtards flunked math?

    Elon Musk is brilliant for selling a $50K car to folks for $120K, cutting out the dealership overhead from the equation, and using/expanding govt regulations to force companies like GM to pay him $$$ to sell their own cars (fuel efficiency credits). That's his current business model.

    That said, the battery future with current technology is still just plain dumb. Electrical transmission efficiency is still 35% or so, and you add battery efficiency to that and you have an extremely inefficient use of carbon fuel. And solar cells are still not economically viable...hence the large subsidies. And having the govt subsidize upper middle class people to attach electrically inefficient batteries to their house to make them feel better about their carbon footprint is extremely stupid and should anger everyone.


    Batteries and solar are inefficient, so let's just give up and burn oil. Got it.

    Who asked you do build a solar panel on your house or drive a Prius?

    No one. Exactly.

    And don't say shit about Solyndra, we know you don't make enough money to pay taxes.

    Who asked you do build a [to pay for my] solar panel on your [my] house or drive a [pay for everybody's] Prius?

    fixed.

    You did.

    Way too easy.

    Yeah, investing billions in technologies we know can't ever become viable in their current form and subsidizing wealthy feel-good initiatives is a much better option.

    Look...if you want to argue funding basic science to try and find new and improved technologies that meet economic/thermodynamic thresholds is something we should do that's great...funding and subsidizing the commercialization of technology that isn't there yet and in many cases can't ever get there is just FS, especially when it's focus is towards the wealthy.

    I would research what the subsidies entail. Cause it's far from just depreciation.

    Please attempt to define "oil depletion allowance". That's all.
