Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

Those are some big complexes. About 15 years ago we went to Wyoming to visit friends and see the sights. We spent a day driving around the Gillette area. Massive! Got to see one of the large draglines operating.

I agree that we need to keep coal and natural gas going until a cleaner/more economically sensible alternative(s) can be developed. I'm still hoping for nuclear to take over, but fossil fuel, solar and wind companies will lobby against that for eternity.

Wyoming is entertaining Bill Gates and Warren Buffet's idea of a fusion plant here. 4 older coal fired plants here are in the running to refit for nuke. They will pick one and submit the process to get permits.

Old News

Is the lack of motorcycle rumble “old news”?
and BTW, I don’t care for the overly loud motorcycles.
But a nice sounding motorcycle is enjoyable.

I have a friend with a Polaris EV - they love it! Polaris must see their potential.

I’d be into that. With 10 engines to do oil changes on, smaller stuff like that with no fluids maintenance would be great.

I would also. Most of my ATV use is running up and down my road between the house and garden, with a bit of harder use in springtime when the roads are too wet to run a pickup. I've always thought I'd replace it with a golf cart when it dies, yet that Ranger looks interesting. The beauty of electric is being able to jump on it and go, without waiting for the engine to warm up.

OK, probably best to unplug it first.

And it’s a torque monster and more quiet when working on your property, customer’s property.
When I’m on a road bike, I like the sound and the rumble.

If it's like out Leaf it will send you a message that you are plugged in and I'm not going to start until
you unplug.

Rob is sharp and good with details. Who knows what will come out of budget.
