Nopherhole on Wheels – Electric cars nuked by Weedheads

Nopherhole attended the Car as Art Concours de’Elegance on the Kansas City Art Institute grounds.

While the heat was enough to melt tin, the aluminum, steel and leather and yes, some vinyl held up. Nopherhole is hoping to draw some readers to BubbleBoot. And there will be good stuff there.

Aha, but first, weedhead politics!

Politics has rung the death nell on electric cars, at least electric cars that run on electricity.

Before nopherhole jumps the gun, remember that only the weedheads passed the bill in the House. And all of this is based on the premise that human beings expire deadly gases from our lungs. That’s the mental Snake River Canyon jump certain weedheads make from the Clean Air Act. To be regulated, Carbon Dioxide must be defined as a deadly gas under the Act.

Some weedheads say ignore the intent of the law. But if the EPAy’ers define Carbon Dioxide as poisonous gas, it must first be regulated at ground level where humans are exposed to the gas’ highest levels, like the gymnasium at the basketball game. Or at the Nascar track. Or the backyard Barbeque.

Miniscule amounts of carbon dioxide in the air at the tops of mountains they say will cause massive shifts in climate. But the amount of climate impact was greater when the moon exploded off the surface of the earth and the hundreds of years of rain filled the ocean, and the supercontinent of Nopherholyhell began slowly migrating around the world.

We know the climate changes. Remnants of forests are fossilized beneath deserts, massive inland seas provided nourishment for the Pteradons, and Ronald Reagan ruled the world.

Nopherhole lied. The best consensus science, that is, science arrived at by a bunch of people guessing, says the winter temperatures will rise maybe a couple of degrees. Luckily for England, Ireland and America, we stuck with the Fahrenheit system, so the impact will be less.

Nopherhole lied again. It’s Climate Change. Thermometers will need to be designed to vary as quickly as your Acura’s tachometer.

The example that the EPAy might be able to extend is the “regulation out of existence of Chlorofluorcarbons.”  These chemicals had many uses including halon fire extinguishing systems. Obviously, the Act takes priority over saving burning materials. [misleading, but oh heck, nopherhole can do politics too.] And now the ozone hole, which was first detected during the National Geophysical Year in the 1950’s, is not effected. This is easily explained because the atmosphere over the northern hemisphere exerts its changes on the southern hemisphere in a very remote way.

Luckily, most advanced economies with vast wealth in the northern hemisphere can help the third world countries at and south of the equator.

As explained in earlier posts, nopherhole is a technology fan and would truly like to drive an electric car. After all, being on the cutting edge with a 1982 diesel Toyota pickup smashed by a climate-tossed tree, a 1984 diesel Toyota Corolla that refused to run when the temperature was below four degrees Fahrenheit. [This would be huge negative number in Celsius.] The 1987 Suzuki Samurai that was viciously attacked by Consumer Reports. Any mechanical engineer knows that greatly increasing the moment of inertia with the huge outriggers fitted to test cars caused them to tilt. I still want to know how many cars rollover in the world due to bad roads or driving and compare that to toilet testers verdict on the simple Samurai. The Chrysler LeBaron convertible with its marvelous body longevity, until T-boned at an intersection. The low fronted Dodge Intrepid that took out a twelve point buck two miles from my home. My offspring’s Cutlas Supreme that slid off a snowy road smashing its right side and permanently sealing the right front door.

Now nopherhole’s spouse’ VW Turbo lost a hub cap.

And finally, my wonderful Prius, that nopherhole is told contributes to the pollution at the nickel mines in Canada.

Nopherhole has taken the cutting technology ride, and my Mobile One has never failed me.
