Title: does it make you mad everytime you have to get gas...
Post by: JOHN MATRIX on August 19, 2010, 11:52:13 AM
...to know that fully functional electric cars were being produced over 10 years ago and then swept under the rug? by the same Big Oil powers who now make record profits every month by exploiting your little peon ass as you are forced to drive to their gas stations and pay whatever they ask for their dirty shit?

Worst is to know that 10 years ago when oil companies were getting huge subsidies that alternative fuel companies were getting taxed at a higher rate making it hard to run their business.

USA USA USA!!!!

i saw it abdominal.

big business literally runs the country, setting things up (for all americans) in such a way that they can maximize their profits. the 'government' is nothing but a decision-making body that makes 'official decisions' for the country based on what their handlers (big business) pay them to decide.

YAY CAPITALISM!!  ::)

maybe its just me but id rather have -for day to day purposes-a car that is quiet, pumps out no fumes, requires virtually no maintainence, costs extremely little to fuel, is as fast and quick as i need it to be.

just fyi alot of these electric cars may have had a top speed limited to freeway speeds but in a 0-60 acceleration many could likely smoke that camaro there.

If you look at anything in life you can find a way to be pissed about it.

I can see great tits and be pissed.... because they're not in my face. But i'll recover. No need to be mad at a gas pump.

actually electric cars don't make any sound..so in theory the engineers can have it emit any sound that they want. So in closing it can sound like that, I predict that in the future versions you will be able to select and change the sound that your car makes.

10? Try a Hundred


"Among the most notable of these records was the breaking of the 100 km/h (62 mph) speed barrier, by Camille Jenatzy on April 29, 1899 in his 'rocket-shaped' vehicle Jamais Contente, which reached a top speed of 105.88 km/h (65.79 mph)"

I would use one as a commuter car but that's it. I don't think we will see any comparible sports cars that are electric soon. I'd also like to see an electric replace my workhorse(towing)  truck ::)

You show a movie with an obvious political agenda to your class?
What does this movie have to do with physics?
If I were a parent in your school district, I would ask why this movie was on the curriculum in a class about physics.
I am not at all opposed to this movie, but movies like this, and the one done by the inventor of the Internet, should be shown in a Social Stuidies class, unless of course there was some relation to physics.

If you have an electric care, just load up your iPod with a bunch of combustion engine sounds like the one below and turn up your speakers.

Detroit and the worldwide car companies are just stupid and have had their heads in the sand.  We've known for over 40 years that our oil reserves are limited and will one day peter out.  How hard is it to push some new technology as a transitional buffer for the day when gas powered cars are no more?  They are as bad as the horse buggy manufacturers at the turn of the 20th century who felt that cars were just a passing fad.

Fully functional electrical cars have existed for 100+ years.

"In 1897, electric vehicles found their first commercial application in the U.S. as a fleet of electrical New York City taxis, built by the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia. Electric cars were produced in the US by Anthony Electric, Baker, Columbia, Anderson, Edison [disambiguation needed], Studebaker, Riker, Milburn, and others during the early 20th century."
