Ford February 2023 Sales - Up 21.9%Electricity is a wonderful thing, but as enthusiastic as most folks were about it, "overnight success" took approximately 70 years.
That is the time span from when the first operational generating station lit 82 homes in New York City in 1882, to 1952 when 98% of US households were electrified. I believe that the 21st Century will be remembered for getting carbon-based emissions reduced to nil, by incorporating a number of strategies. Perhaps we will perfect nuclear fusion by then. But I think the ICE age will still be with us well into the latter half of the century. This is an automotive forum so BEVs are a hot topic, but we will still have diesel planes, trains and ships. You can Google the data as to how much pollution is generated by cargo ships, airliners, or locomotives; sobering to staggering depending on your point of view. Getting private citizens "off the pump" is easier to do than it is for large energy intensive multinationals, but that's where a significant, if not majority of the smog is coming from. It doesn't matter to me what is or isn't causing climate change; climate gonna change regardless of what humans do. But I believe we should be trying harder to be better stewards of the finite resources we have left.Wed, 08 Mar 2023 13:49:48 +0000
