    Reminds Me of a story about Solar panels on houses in California. Apparently a lot are mounted on the street side of the roofs, even though the backside would be more efficient. More important to show you’re Neighbors you’re green, than actually being green.
     
    drvrtech77 and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I purchased and installed solar not only on my house but also a repeater site why is all solar and works well, last month Edison sent me a check for 38 bucks because of surplus electricity that went back into the grid. It is certainly not a short term investment but over the last 6 years it has certainly paid for itself.

    Stories like this make me look at the insurrection in Seattle and think, “you know, blowing up the whole system and starting over might not be a bad idea after all,,,”

    Look all I’m asking is that when the brownshirts eventually come for me either make it quick, or drown me in scotch or coconut rum.

    Yeah, and this will eventually cause the demise of the lone owner operator and Only the megas will be left.

    Another thing it will do is take the last generation of true truckers off the road. The ones that do it for the love and lifestyle of it. The ones that love engines and shifting transmissions. The one’s that love the sound, the feel, the smell of trucks.
    If you are just here to fill a seat, hold a wheel, and just go through the motions of a job than electric is for you. Might as well retire and ride around in walmart on a scooter. Lol
