Once again with these talking heads. I really don't get why smart people give a shit about what talking heads say. What an utter and complete waste of time.

The body of scientific research on this topic is vast, and if you're implying that the thousands and thousands of papers that have been written are all biased to the point that they are useless, then you are either stupid, which I know you are NOT, lazy in this area, which is possible, too busy to read the actual research, which is possible, or too biased by your own narrative to think objectively about it.

I think the last possibility concerning your bias is the most influential because the conversation hasn't even started, yet. We're not talking about CO2 and it's relationship to water vapor or adaptive mechanisms for greenhouse gases in general. We're being sidetracked by a narrative and that seems like bias.

In terms of the supply chain, I remember reading some comparative studies and the emissions numbers being dramatically lower for electric, but I'll have to find them again. But in terms of common sense, isn't it reasonable that if a Semi which can haul an 80,000 pound load and be charged by a solar charging station, that all Earth movers, etc., also can?

The electric semi is currently vaporware (same as the solar charging stations). We can re-evaluate it when it is actually something tangible and actually hauls 80,000 pound loads on a daily basis and has the lifespan and range of a diesel engine.

As for earth movers, they move much more weight than semi-trailers do. Some up to 450 tons (900,000 pounds), on fossil fuels, not solar vaporware power. The point remains, electric vehicles are reliant on fossil fuels.

Still waiting on that one study that wasn't externally funded or based on externally funded studies.

Funny stuff (actually very sad) you can't make up:

• Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for Glow-Bull-Warning (so much ice in Antarctica that ships are getting stranded).
• BHO won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for closing GITMO (which is still open).

I guess they are both internationally recognized for their award wining "achievements".
