$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'J')upidu, I just posted a response and critique of Blume's Myths at [thread]:David Blume and alcoholcanbeagas.com - impressive! Do not make me repeat it here. :evil:


I'm sorry i read only about 4 or 5 posts on the David-Blume-Thread when i answered here. I shouldn't have written that i read the post (intrinsinquely mentioned completely). At the weekend i will read the other thread completely and adapt my answer. :wink:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('nocar', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') think the absolute best way to move a car would be...


The best way to move, is not to move a person in 700-2000 kg steel, plastic, rubber (= a car), but to move a person on 10-20 kg metal and rubber designed to amplify the motion power of human muscles (a bicydle) powered by biofuel (=food).

Mobility means people going to places they want to go to. It is good for people to be able to get around. Cars do not need to get around. Cars, not being sentient creatures, really have no needs at all.

Bikes are great in some cases, but are NOT and will NEVER be a complete replacement for cars for obvious reasons. Same deal with horses (see other thread).

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Mesuge', '
')as posted before it's has not been a technical problem at least for past 20yrs or more to have similar capability in modern & safe car, even using lead, which can be massproduced and recycled with given infrustructure..


I'm not sure how much infrastructure will be around post-peak. So battery replacement will be difficult. At least with an AC motor you won't have to replace the brushes. You just have to deal with that annoying "fingernails on the chalkboard" white noise that I keep hearing in all these Youtube videos. That would drive me bonkers unless I found a way to deaden the sound.

In the post PO world having EV means taking care of your:

- batteries
- AC inverter (mosfets and capacitors last 50-100.000 hours only)

as they were your babies..
