That's a damn shame, hydrogen fuel could be the gateway to developing new tech of converting salt water to fresh more effeciently. Plus hydrogen fuel cell cars from everything I've read seem to be superior to electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue line literally goes the opposite direction to present, then they predict it goes the other way in the future. I could draw a chart that shows this going completely opposite.

theJ Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just now, Calvert28 said: Well it is CNN reporting it. That doesn't make them right. The truth is that electric cars aren't super efficient for the environment. The effort that's put into making those batteries is also really destructive to the environment, let alone the fuels that are burnt to make electricity. Plus, it's going to depend heavily on cost efficiency. People buy cars based on price. If they can find a gas powered car cheaper than electric, they'll buy gas, all other things being equal. That's not even addressing what the potential for what self driving cars will do to the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used the word extrapolated, maybe I misunderstood the word but I always thought it meant vague on sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holt_bruce81 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Excuse my lack of knowledge with this post but....what does shutting down the stock market mean? Does that mean stocks won’t be up/down throughout the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
