I think I can buy a 'real' EV cheaper than I can convert my Karmann Ghia.I've got few years to think about that.

I'm reading 'FORDLANDIA' right now.It's about Henry Ford's captured rubber plantation project in the Amazon of Brazil,which began in 1928.It began shortly before the Wall Street Crash and Great Depression began.

See if you agree with me that it was a mistake to transplant New England town planning into a tropical jungle.

Like most folks,I'm just along for the ride,and will be watching as things unfold.

All of my neighbors are all up in arms
About something they saw on TV
Seems some politician got busted for something
That won't make any difference to me
Now I'm sure it's all true and I'm tired of this too
But I can't pray for some guy to fall
I let all them people do what people do
I'm just happy to be here at all
I'm happy to be here to vote randomly
On who ought to take the next dive
I'm eager to see what the downfall will be
And all the hilarity on Saturday Night Live
Mostly it's all scandal TV these days
That's where the real money must fall
Down from the smog of some Hollywood haze
I'm just happy to be here at all
I'm happy to be here, happy to be
Happy
Happy to be here to see how it goes
When everything blows into space
I've been walking my tennis shoes right through my toes
Trying to keep up with the rest of the race
Mostly I stare out my window these days
Watching my dog chase her ball
I'll do my job here whatever it pays
I'm just happy to be here at all

I hope climate change turns out to be the biggest hoax ever perpetrated upon mankind,but when I study it,I can't come to any other conclusion than we've screwed the pooch.
The division I witness even here at EcoModder gives me little confidence that we'll ever be able to act before reaching critical tipping points,if we're not there already.
I see Dr,Seuss's Lorax playing out,where capitalists will be fighting over who gets to cut down the last Truffula Tree.

'Biggest hoax' is a pretty high bar. War... Religion...

And Sputnik was a primitive junk making "bip bip", and the rocket technology that put it on orbit was the real breakthrough.
