I love them, and I love the Tesla even more. There is little doubt now the powerful forces against Tesla (and anyone else trying to sell an electric car) are motivated directly by money. The threat of electric cars, especially ones like the Tesla, that offer free charging powered by solar energy, are an absolute threat to the profits of the POWERS THAT RUN THE WORLD (TPTRTW).

It’s the same for anyone actually doing something about making solar energy easy and affordable to use. TPTRTW are against anything that threatens them, and they fight dirty, hard, and to win. They always have.

From the now almost dead other thread:

As I said before, even if CO2 is going to make it colder, the oceans are a real concern for the level of CO2 that is happening. We need to know, with experiments, what high levels of CO2 will do to sea life. (it may end up increasing it, we simply do not know)

Not if the current effort to “blame” colder winters on global warming pay off. Don’t laugh, the idiot public will buy almost anything if “the consensus” and enough FUD is used on them.
