Those Soviets that were the first responders and the ones that came later...the "Liquidators" were some of the greatest heros of our time.

Stoopid shit - just hang her.

The comments after the article were quite refreshing.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Anyone ever heard of ICEing?

What nonsense!!!

 

[Mellow]

Childish behavior.

 

[BlackSmith]

I’ve never seen an electric car charging at a charging station here.

 

[Fiddler]

I've never seen a charging station...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nor I, but I bet they're on the way. I'm curious about the fee!

 

[BlackSmith]

I wonder how the electric is generated for the “clean” cars.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's magic!

 

[squisher]

Hydro dams.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Solar and wind!!!

 

[Mick!]

Electric charging is a thing here, my BILs company has them in the car park, they get used.

 

[Fondren]

Electric charging is a thing here, my best insulated hunting boots and BILs company has them in the car park, they get used.

Is the charging free there, Mick?

 

[Mick!]

At the moment yes.

When I visited Norway, it appeared to me that every other car was electric.

 

[biggun]

Pretty much Kevin. Pity I didn’t know you were over or I would have come over to say hello. The Norsk’s TrepleieForum are great at informing people after the event.

There are so many electric cars here. Marques you would t expect to see offering electric. Porsche Panamera E-Hybrids. Audi Q7 etron and of course the Tesla’s. Charging stations in most car parks for free, and reduced tax on electric cars entering the city of Oslo.

 

[MasterBlaster]

How in the world can it be free??? It costs money to generate electricity!

Welcome to the TreeHouse, Fondren!!!

 

[Fiddler]

Butch, subsidies get people hooked on the product...gov't might do some, but the business might also provide that benefit (and just charge you in a different way)

 

[MasterBlaster]

?

So who pays to generate the electricity?

 

[Fiddler]

The producers of course...they can get revenue from billing, gov't subsidies, auto manufacturers, manufacturers supplying the chargers, and those providing the charging stations.

It's not that hard to figure out...temporarily free or very low cost until the majority must rely on it...then they start hitting the consumer with big fees....it's just marketing strategy.

Norway has a lot of hydro too, which once set is up gets produced whether or not it gets used.
