So just to be clear – you’re saying we know what happened in the earths climate history and why it happened but we don’t know what’s happening now?

tdskip

Do you honestly not know how the EU overall has increased the percentage of its energy from renewables? You choose not to research it because you’re more comfortable being ignorant of the facts? Or did you research it, it didn’t fit your narrative, so you chose to write the above anyway because you’re comfortable being deceptive in support of your ideology? has to be one of the above – which is it?

tdskip

Weather doesn’t evolve - see above. By the way you realize that you’re refuting your own line of argument. The examples you’ve given are well understood climate forces based on rudimentary chemistry and physics, all of which have been recorded in the earths climate history as understood by science. In other words – you’re arguing that we don’t understand the science by providing an example of what the science understands. typical denier inadvertently funny self refutation.

tdskip

Lol – someone else doubling down on ignorance. only living things can evolve. Dear lord, if you’re that ignorant on basic scientific principles why do you think you have any understanding of what’s actually happening to the earths climate and man’s role as a climate forcer?

tdskip

Do you understand exactly how either ignorant of chemistry and physics that statement is, or is it just a willing attempt on being deceptive on your part? go ahead and call my bluff. Show us how human activities have very little impact on the atmosphere despite the irrefutable evidence of our changing the atmospheres chemical composition.

tdskip

Typical half baked self referential logic – do you really think the environmental costs of fossil fuels is baked into what you pay for conventional cars and fuel?

tdskip

Do you even know that everything you’ve written above is the typical shown to be false physics denying bull crap? Or do y out just not care that you are engaging in falsehoods?

tdskip

LOL - “evolving weather”. Just on that alone it is quite apparent you have zero idea what you pretend to be able to talk about.

They get recycled

LOL - yes, I’m sure we can all agree that a single plant drove increases in the global market with lower cost overseas plants still operating. By the way, speaking of reality, I never said that the plant didn’t close, just that it closing that long ago wasn’t the sole reason for any price change that we’re seeing in the market.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

LOL, you didn’t offend me, but you did offend my sense of integrity in how you choose to ignore all of the widely available data and evidence to post almost 3 year old data and ignore more current information. But hey, when you can’t make a rational assertion resort to cherry picking data, right? Tell us, what does the same source say for 2020 and what is the trend? How much of the average business day electricity in California come from renewables?

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@Smithsonite - actually the hybrid and electric cars that Ford has already produced have a pretty good reliability history, as do their conventional cars, but hey, there is that reality thing popping up again...

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

It would probably be great at that since all the torque is available from a stop.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

Look at the lease rates paid for land for fossil fuel production on government property, vastly under market. Can anyone point me to the last time we sailed a bunch of warships to protect domestic solar production? Pretty sure we have never invaded another county to help protect offshore wind production.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@BMD4800 - We are all quite sure that global demand and commodity prices has nothing to do with it fortunately for the sake your compelling denial of reality.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@rsavage - it’s good thing there’s no pollution created in the production and use of fossil fuel’s or the vehicles they power! Phew, otherwise I’m sure you’d be raising that as a consideration too... Double standard much? Here’s a hint – if you have to result of bad logic to make criticism probably don’t have a strong argument to make.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@TC - simply not accurate on power generation. As noted elsewhere there are regular occurrences in the day when California not only gets more than half of its electrical energy from renewable’s but approaching 95%.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

Wait – you really don’t think fossil fuel use is subsidized? Seriously? OMG.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@BMD4800 - got a love when someone’s response is based upon attacking something that wasn’t said. Nice going. If you look at renewables in the southwest you’ll see that it already accounts for a significant percentage of power generation, and it’s climbing quickly and doing so at prices that are below cold and increasingly other power sources. There are times during the working day in California where not only do we get well over half of our power from renewables but there are times when it approaches 95%. But, as noted elsewhere, what’s a little reality have to do with your hate.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@Smithsonite - if you don’t think fossil fuel usage is heavily subsidized please drop us a note on this form when you return to planet earth. Cripes.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@drhino - that’s an invalid argument. The government is already picking winners, it’s subsidizing the cost of conventional fossil fuels by not making consumers pay the full cost of using them, this is more commonly known as externalities. If you’re serious about the economics You’d include that in your thinking, that you don’t choose that you’re not serious and just crying about the inevitable change that is now occurring.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

If you like in the UK, sure

@50s60s70s . Battery components can be largely recycled.

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

That should obviously say “coal” not “core”. Sorry about that

tdskip · ‎20-05-2021

@Hagerty Fan - in the highly unlikely case that you actually don’t know better, and in the nearly certain case that you’re not willing to research it, core utilization is being phased out rapidly because it’s just not cost-effective. New wind and solar plant costs are below core, which means that unlike a conventional car the power for this Ford will get cleaner and greener over its life cycle. If you live in the south west or west relatively little, in some cases none, of your energy to drive this comes from coal. But hey, what does reality have to do with the haters...

tdskip · ‎31-03-2021

Actually no - there is a provision for collector cars that bypasses this thankfukky.

tdskip · ‎10-03-2021

Thank you for the thoughtful post Dan

tdskip · ‎10-03-2021

@drhino- seriously? You think that is really a rebuttal of anything? Here is a hint - when your whole premise is based on ignoring anything you don't want to surface because it risks negating your assertion you have VERY weak core assertion.

tdskip · ‎10-03-2021

Hey! How are you? Well as can be I hope. I sold the MGC roadster back to a very happy buyer/good home in the UK a while ago but just picked up a ratty MGC GT. Pretty excited to have one back to horrify people with the 5 shades of red that it current is, grin.

tdskip · ‎10-03-2021

But that isn’t your daily drive, is it Jack? Kind of like living on an island and complaining the ID4 isn’t a boat.

tdskip · ‎10-03-2021

“ to make them as usable as a 1977 Cutlass Supreme...” The ID4 is roomier, faster, brakes better, handles better, way better built, has 50% range in reserve beyond the average America driver daily usage, will likely have far less in maintenance costs of consumables etc. Is the ID4 perfect? Nope but then again it’s not target at the typical Hagerty member either.

tdskip · ‎05-02-2021

References to N Pelosi here = can't actually make a coherent facts/evidence based point. Maybe go cry else where - we're trying to talk about the future of cars here. Just saying...

tdskip · ‎05-02-2021

Immediately to politics - kind of pathetic really especially when it is based on something other than actual reality.

tdskip · ‎05-02-2021

Nope - simply not true. No point in trying to even discuss when you are clinging to fiction.

tdskip · ‎05-02-2021

Predictably short sighted responses - we should all be thrilled that people are innovating ways to keep creative builds going. Will they be different builds - yes. Still motoring - yes. Times change - deal with it.

tdskip · ‎04-02-2021

I wouldn’t take the haters here too seriously Jack - the knee jerk responses to imagined slights or observations that hit too close to home are pretty obvious. Anyone that pops off about politics here is frankly part of the problem, and if they don’t see why it just confirms why they are part of the problem.

tdskip · ‎04-02-2021

Only if you don’t read the righteous navel gazing above unfortunately.

tdskip · ‎04-02-2021

You don’t actually understand that you made his point for him, do you?

tdskip · ‎04-02-2021

Damn - I guess that means those “Libtards” are responsible for creating the 5th largest economy on earth then too... Funny - this was about cars and not being a dick to new car enthusiasts - I’m sure your attitude will really help bring new people into the fold.

tdskip · ‎04-02-2021

LOL - it is clear that people that throw “libtard” around are desperately hoping it offends people (which, let’s face it, is kind of pathetic). I wasn’t offended - sorry - just observing that people that use that term typically lack a certain grasp on reality and thus rarely have a vantage point worth bothering with.

tdskip · ‎03-02-2021

What an insightful comment that is totally unrelated to the article...

tdskip · ‎03-02-2021

This has nothing to do with the "government", this hammer looking for a nail thing some of you guys have going is getting really old. You are so blinded you totally missed the point of the article.

tdskip · ‎03-02-2021

The use of "libtards" pretty much guarantees that there is no merit to anything you say.

tdskip · ‎16-12-2020

On average, Americans drive 29.2 miles per day, making two trips with an average total duration of 46 minutes. Just saying.... Source: AAA

tdskip · ‎16-12-2020

Don't get out much, eh? Ford made these available for multiple reviewer globally last week so you are seeing reviews of the base version in multiple places.

tdskip · ‎16-12-2020

@CarlJensen - um, how to put this politely, but your post is far from objective and obviously biased against EVs. Can't be credible when deliberately making a conclusion then trying to support it.

tdskip · ‎05-11-2020

I have a 1975 GL1000 and it is a fantastic bike, and rides much lighter in practice than the actual weight suggests due to a very low center of gravity.
