By the way, none of this has anything to do with IndyCars. They already run on renewable fuel, and have since the Sachs-McDonald crash. |

98 is spot on. It’s an agenda. It all depends on who you want to believe. I saw the guy that invented the Internet telling us again, like he did 40 years ago that the ice is going to melt, yada yada yada. I’m even told that the big 3 auto makers are basically government institutions. And I’m pretty sure that old Jed Clampet could go out “shooting for some food” , and with a well aimed shot could still come up with the same result. One of the few virtues of growing old is, if you’re lucky, your sense of smell to 🐂 💩becomes more keen

Some people believe everything is an agenda.

I wouldn't hang your hat on the idea that electric cars and trucks is the future. Working alongside the automotive industry for the last 26 years, they are reeling back production. At my day job, we produced a bunch of stuff for the electric mustang. We knew it was coming years in advance. They have since killed all progress on that. Same with the lightning pickup truck. As well, a friend was a higher up in Ford and the uaw, and Ford is beginning to scale back or cancel all future all electric projects. It will be a narrow niche market, but the way things are trending right now, alternative fuels and hybrid ice/electric cars is where is heading.

Refresh my memory, did the Prius even have a charging port, and didn't they charge when you used the brake, seems like some folks found that system to work for them, I still see one in the grocery parking lot, I knew a few people who had one, and about that many who rebuilt batteries for them, but no one ever tried to use one to pull their race car to the race truck with one, or even go very far to watch a race

https://racer.com/2023/12/19/extreme...rogen-testing/ Excerpt: Just one season of Extreme E remains in its current form. The 2024 campaign will be the swansong for the battery-electric Odyssey 21 before its successor, the as-yet-unnamed Extreme H hydrogen fuel cell car, will arrive. The transition to hydrogen isn’t straightforward. There isn’t a hydrogen-powered motorsport series in existence yet, so while Extreme H has been developing a new car, the series has also been collaborating with the FIA to create new rules and safety standards for hydrogen racing.
