I'm mostly a lurker but agree with the below. The big change I see as a
possibility and I have to admit I thought they missed the boat to begin with
but it's toyotas approach to hydrogen hybrid . The unit creates its own
hydrogen as its needed so the only thing you are filling up with is distilled
water.As a hybrid rav4 owner and daily driver I think this will solve
everything if they can pull it off.NickSent from my Bell Samsung device over

'Facts' about EV's debunked The "moving to Canada" comment was just a crack to
get a rise from someone.A light troll.Me: Boy Scout doing conservation work at
age 12. Always leave any place yougo cleaner than when you arrived. Never
litter. Clean up roadsides. Solaron home. Worked testing solar thermal
collectors for certification.Custom testing of same. Bought and beta tested an
Organic Transit Elf.Tried to start a lab for evaluating lithium ion cells.
Electric mower.Electric Pressure washer. Support green politics. Donate to
green causes.Install efficient appliances when possible. Recycle what can be
recycled.Etc.I want a clean, cool earth. I just don't think we will succeed.
But,* if weare unrealistic about this effort, then that is just another weight
on thewrong side of the scale. *I don't think current lithium battery tech
supports widespread use of EVswithout decades of infrastructure construction.
Mines are the first step.We need to stop putting solar where the sun isn't and
turbines that don'twork where the energy resource is lacking. So if we try to
collect solarwhere the sun actually shines, the grid that supports the effort
is manytimes what we already have. We are not taking steps to solve so
manycomponents of our problem.It is a human problem at the heart of it. We
don't react well to thingsthat don't smack us in the face, and plenty of very
motivated people withthe capital to do something don't think it matters, or
they are moreinterested in trying to monetize the chaos (like believing we can
movetowards the poles). We have not evolved the mentation, and cognitive
biasesthat would aim towards collectively solving this dire situation.On Sun,
