Nobody’s Email: Long Live the Watercar
Nobody Gets Email
My liberal friend, who is STILL a swinging bachelor at 76, saw this car and thought of all the lost moments of his youth. He wants one. I would certainly rather have this car than an electric one.
I do think the fact that Bill O’Reilly is trying to sell us the new Tesla electric car is insane. What exactly is going to fire up those electric babies since Obama is closing all the coal mines? And how’s that Chevy Volt coming? Did you know that the taxpayers gave South Korea $150 million to build batteries for it? And speaking of batteries, do you think those batteries are going to last forever?
Ford’s Chief executive, Alan Mulally, revealed that the battery packs for the electric Ford Focus costs between $12,000 and $15,000 a piece.
Electric vehicles are far more expensive than regular vehicles, do little to help the planet (since they’re charged by coal-powered electricity) and tend to catch fire. In reality, China is ratcheting down its “investments” in “green” energy and focusing on what will actually power the economy: fuel efficiency, coal and natural gas. Meanwhile, the United States is deceived into thinking wind, solar, and electric vehicles are the wave of the future. It would take ten years to make up the upfront expense of the vehicle. The average length of time a car is owned is now just 6 years, so already you won’t make up the cost. And electric vehicles need to have their batteries replaced every 5 years or so, so you’re guaranteed to have to replace that battery. And since those batteries cost about $15,000 dollars, you would actually need to own the vehicle for 25 years before covering all the added costs associated it in the amount of gas you save.
So, what would you rather buy? A water car or a new Tesla? Not to mention the entire country would have to be wired for electric cars everywhere.
I think, Bill O’Reilly is spending too much time with Jeffery Immelt. All he is looking out for is his wallet.
It doesn’t matter, if things keep going as they are, very few people will even be able to afford a car in the future.
(Okay, this is Saturday. Sorry for being grumpy. )
LONG LIVE THE WATERCAR! (How’s that, better?)
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
