Electric vehicles have both pros and cons but at the heart of it they all share
one defining quality - that they exist to indulge the emasculated pussies who
drive them.

There has to be another, non-polluting way. That will not be allowed.

Great idea, except for the huge cloud of toxic emissions created by burning
composite materials, all on the HAZMAT list.
OOps !

You could recycle the blades by burning them to power a steam generator -
get more electricity out of them.

I give Tesla credit for showing the market that an EV didn't have to look like
a comic book car or drive like a glorified golf cart and could have a range
that might actually cover ones needs on most days. I wish they hadn't gotten so
distracted with self-driving technology and had just

Last I heard, carbon burns too. Easily, in fact.

If it weren't for the problem of batteries, the IC engine would never have
beaten electric in the first place. The problem continues. Overall,
Green States like Wyoming, Texas, and Oklahoma?

The issue on windmills are the blades. Not useful for anything, as they are
fiberglass or composite and hard to make use of at end of life. Maybe shoring
up slopes or as landfill. Could be useful as housing (living inside) given the
rapidly rising price for homes in Green states where the
I agree, this "I can check it from my phone" is just stupid. If you can't be
bothered to set your EV charger at the charger, which you had to plug in
anyway, you kind of deserve to get hacked...

The fiberglass blades have finite life spans (stress fatigue) and are
landfilled on a regular basis. A lot of nasty stuff goes into making
them too, then they will last a few thousand years in a landfill or
stacked somewhere.

Concrete gets used in every house and building are you suggesting those
constructions get a pass? How many yards of concrete are used in even a tiny
refinery? Those get regularly rebuilt too.

I thought the big windmill blades were carbon-fibre/composite material? I don't
know if that's readily recyclable. They also have big concrete footings and
concrete production is a big CO2 emitter.

Doesn't seem like much of a conspiracy theory to imagine that the automakers

Who says they can't be recycled?
Lithium batteries are very recyclable, PVs are mostly silica with a thin layer
of metal, also very recyclable and they don't really wear out. Even after their

Moving toward electron-powered cars it looks like. More expensive, more
complex, more problematic and inclined to fail with huge repair costs...
