Smaller Cars, Electrics Zap Muscle Cars at the New York Auto Show - NYTimes.com
Past auto shows instead highlighted large sport utility vehicles, luxury sedans and modern versions of muscle cars, all boasting comfort, ease of handling and poor gas mileage. They're still here, but mainly stuffed in the back, carefully arranged alongside the hybrid-engine versions of the same vehicles.
Conventional gas-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) won't be going away any time soon
Even the more optimistic estimates put sales of all of types of EVs at only 20 percent of the U.S. market by 2020.
From Dan Satterfield, a meteorologist who still believes in the greatest scientific fraud in history
On the other side you have a tiny handful of scientists, only a few of which have published anything recently in peer reviewed journals, who disagree.
...
If you want to make the claim that the sun is responsible for climate change, then you will need to show why the dozens of papers that show it’s not are wrong.
...
If you want to claim the planet is getting cooler then you need to show why Michael Mann’s data showing a stunning warming trend is wrong. A lot of people have tried.  Every single scientific review of the data says he has it right.
...
If you want to discredit a hundred years of climate science based on this, then please tell Dr. Tom Carl the head of the National Climate Data Center (and President of the AMS) why he is wrong when he says the cities of the world cause us to be only a few thousandths of a degree warmer.

That’s three orders of magnitude less than the 0.8C warming we have experienced!! Also explain to him why he is wrong when he runs just the rural stations and and gets the same warming??

When I see the congressional clunkers come out of their catacombs and all mount up their government motors suicide clown cars for the trip home ...

Until then, I am sticking with my 4000 pound behemoth.
