OK fine. You want to touch a 400 volt line and figure you will be OK as long as there is no amperage. HaHaHa. Let me watch you!

With nearly $3 million in federal money, Santa Rosa CityBus plans to buy 4 electric buses, in 1st step toward a zero-emission fleet So how many tons of CO2 will this "save" and how does that compare to that released by fires? These buses are really costing $1 million plus each. The federal free money doesn't cover the whole purchase price.

To answer Bob's question, you theoretically could get electrocuted by touching a crashed car. The voltage is so high they do not want firefighters cutting any cables because they could get electrocuted. If they need to cut open a crashed car to get someone out, they need to avoid cutting where any main power cables run. And of course if one of those cables were shorting (making live contact) with the steel body, then the whole thing is dangerous. So just stand back and watch. Use your cell phone to take a video so you can post it online. These voltages obviously would kill you: Tesla Model S and Model 3 batteries run at nominal voltages of about 375 volts and 350 volts, respectively. (Published figures vary slightly.) The Porsche Taycan's batteries run at 800 volts nominal.

California’s 2020 Wildfire Emissions Akin to 24 Million Cars California’s 2020 wildfire season thwarted the state’s fight against climate change, spewing enough carbon dioxide into the air to equal the emissions of millions of passenger vehicles driving over the course of a year. Those roughly 9,600 fires burned nearly 4.2 million acres, killed 31 people, and emitted an estimated 112 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, according to a California Air Resources Board report released Dec. 31. The number is akin to the greenhouse gas emissions of 24.2 million passenger cars driving in a single year, according to a calculator from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And the emissions figure is expected to increase as the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection calculates final wildfire acreage from the end of the year. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-and-energy/californias-2020-wildfire-emissions-akin-to-24-million-cars ‘Off the chart’: CO2 from California fires dwarf state’s fossil fuel emissions It’s estimated that the 2020 California wildfires have already generated more than 91 million metric tons of CO2 (as of Sept. 15), according to data from the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED). That’s about 25% of the annual emissions from fossil fuels in the state, Niels Andela, an atmospheric scientist from Cardiff University in the U.K., told Mongabay. “This year is really, really off the chart,” Andela said. “We estimate … that this is the highest year we have on our record, at leas https://news.mongabay.com/2020/09/off-the-chart-co2-from-california-fires-dwarf-states-fossil-fuel-emissions/

Might be practical on the flatlands.

The weight of the battery is a major factor. I've always said the great game changer would be if you could have a 3rd rail like with BART where the moving vehicle is supplied with power. Completely impractical apparently! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhIMtkYX1ew

Yeah supposedly the co2 released by the fires in California has been only about 2/3rds of the co2 released by vehicles. I find that hard to believe, seems like fires release more than their estimates claim.

The further north latitude you are, the less viable solar electric power becomes. If you live in Pheonix and want to run you AC off of solar panels when it is sunny and 100 degrees that is ideal. From a cost/benefit perspective even if I could save all of my automobile fuel expense, solar panels would not pay for them selves. I have no significant electrical power usage. The only thing would be if I got an electric car. I have no home air conditioning. Just appliances which don't seem to use all that much. I am all for conservation. But not wasting money, especially my own.

1 + 1 = 2 ( source )

If my Toyota gets 28 mpg and I were to drive 700 miles that would be 25 gallons of fuel. And at $4.50 per gallon that is $112. More than the $40 worth of electricity for the Audi.

That is the official label for this picture as it is cataloged in the library. So it's a Dort instead of an Essex? Library has a typo.

Is that where the Honda Elsinore got it's name?

YRC Freight 270 Dutton Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95407 (707) 523-0746 I could walk to this place.

A new car photographed in 1922. Marina & Fillmore circa 1922 1922 Dart posed on dirt road with Column of Progress decaying in background form the Panama Pacific International Fair of 1915.

The great grand daughter appreciates the ID on the car. He was with the San Francisco Police.

I am curious that's all

Don't know what year picture was taken. Like to estimate that too, and maybe car(s) would help. Looks like a newer model car in background.

I used to refer to my mom's big Buick as a boat. 455 cubic inch V8, big long 4 door. it was like this, but without vinyl top, and a different color.

Yeah the eagle's wing looked familiar but I couldn't name it.

trying to translate some of those foreign comments Kは、コンプレッションで最後のほうの音はその音ですね。本当に牛の鳴き声そっくりですね初めて聞きました。ありがとうございます❣ K is compression, and the last note is that note. It really looks like a cow barking, isn't it? I heard it for the first time. Thank you ❣
