(He paased one, flunked the other, The Algore made a Saint of the professor, Dr. Ravelle, who gave him a ‘D’. Then promptly contradicted every fact that Ravelle taught him.)

There IS the existing electrical generation plant out there to power almost all of our auto fleet if it were electrically powered. That does not mean that it would not require considerable amounts of additional fuel, for these power plants, if they were to try to do so.

Even Journalists ought to comprehend the idea that you can own a energy consuming thing, say a car. You won’t burn any fuel in it, until you start it up, and turn it on.

Its much harder to convince someone that a car idling in the driveway uses a lot less fuel, than one pulling a loaded trailer up Pike’s Peak at 60 miles per hour. But that’s the facts, Jack.

Similarly it is a completely different thing to be idling a turbine generator at ‘no load’ while consuming next to no fuel, as spinning reserve, and the same plant working hard to generate electricity at rated capacity.

But all the idiots from the journalism schools don’t know that. Worse their editors don’t know that. Even Worse, all the damn, stupid, but crudely, cunning lawyers, who rule us, don’t know that either. Irrespective of whether they wear a politicians garment, a judges robes, or the business suit of putative leader of industry or bureacracy.

The car is pretty hot for an American ride!
