ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

Many gas wells in NE PA are capped waiting for pipe lines.
Note: I'm not a big fan of fracking or any fossil fuels but it's a better choice than oil heat as we transition to renewables.

Why do ya think they call it “natural" gas?
It ain’t all from old dinosaur bones i.e. fossils.

A window into the abiotic carbon cycle - Acetate and formate in fracture waters in 2.7 billion year-old host rocks of the Canadian Shield

The recent expansion of studies at hydrothermal submarine vents from investigation of abiotic methane formation to include abiotic production of organics such acetate and formate, and rising interest in processes of abiotic organic synthesis on the ocean-world moons of Saturn and Jupiter, have...

I have an engineer friend who claims US has a 200yr supply.

I have a capped well within 5 acres of me. I heat with wood pellets and my backup is oil. It would be so cheap and much cleaner if NY would get their head out of their ass and hook it up.

Eatin beans helps to release it too.

Nice…Been there done that when I was 10 .

Corduroy pants are not recommended attire while engaging in that activity?

Many gas wells in NE PA are capped waiting for pipe lines. New England would love to have natural gas for heating verses oil. Cuomo blocked pipe lines through NY State because, I'm paraphrasing, "If we don't allow fracking of gas in this state why should we allow fracked gas pipe lines through our state?" And the only way to New England is through NY.
Maybe that will change under a new governor.
Note: I'm not a big fan of fracking or any fossil fuels but it's a better choice than oil heat as we transition to renewables.

Total fail by Cuomo. New England has the highest use of heating oil in the US which is way dirtier than natural gas and NE does not have enough NG to affect the change over from oil. So stuuuuuuuuupid.

Cool video. I’ve never seen that before.

True. However is it better to buy from a company you know will probably screw things up? I'm thinking Ford or take a chance. I'm still leaning on getting a rivian when they become more readily available.

This is a video of an unmodified (i.e. advanced preproduction or production) R1t. No special tires other than the mfg's optional all terrain tire. Off the line specs. Later on in the thread, a forum member posted a video going up in their Forerunner, which I have not viewed. Just for comparison to ICE.

Just saw Ford has to recall all the mustang mach e
Windshield and roof are coming off and all the new removable roof panels on the new bronco are delaminating.
This is inexcusable
And they wonder why Honda and Toyota rule the auto world

And they wonder why Honda and Toyota rule the auto world

Let's stop with this nonsense
Honda and Toyota have had their share of MASSIVE recalls as well. Honda is losing market share day by day.
