While one can claim a moral hi ground, they can not sell interruptible power at anything near the rate of constant power. So there is a huge financial incentive to supply power when needed. In our system now $0.27/KW vs $0.09.
The same comment was made when an international power grid was first proposed. Is this more of the same mentality? Keep burning coal while the world turns brown. Don't allow the use of natural gas to make burning coal at higher temps cleaner. Don't bring in clean energy because it won't...
It is the exception, but a valuable innovation which should be considered even if it is foregin. The petty idea that import cars were bad/junk was not a wise decision. We live on a planet, not in a protection zone. PE is not afraid of competition. A large portion of USGDP is wasted on...
I will respectfully suggest you quit parroting ignorance and Google INNERGEX and learn how this properly integrated Solar, wind, conventional and run of the river company does produce 100% clean renewable energy. Without a cent of gov money, or tax break. Public company, private financing...
In a truck, I could collapse my chair and toss it behind the seat. In an Elio, perhaps a 3 sided box on the roof is the best solution, as previously suggested? Get the vehicle built and someone will solve this minor question overnight.
Smoking is good for your self image. Fast food along with exercise is good for you. Wind power kills millions of migrating birds. Windmills change the local weather. I read on the internet that an Elio is a death trap! Is there a guarantee I can kill myself in one on the first try?
Nonsense. Google Innergex and actually learn about alternate power. No gov money ever. No tax breaks. US made by GE turbines, blades, concrete, steel, fabrication, engineering. Profitable from day one. @6% dividend today. Parent Co chartered in 1775.
There are a lot of variables involved. I was in a chair for 6 months 30 years ago with no use of legs. But I would do 20 one handed pull ups, so instead of the predicted 6months in rehab, I was out in 2 weeks and driving in 4. Individual conditions dictate individual solutions. I envision a...
My first car,a Morris Oxford and a Morris Minor was even slower until we made good little commuters out of them in the 1960's by installing Austin A-40's with twin MG carbs. We had to cut a horizontal slot in the bell-housing to clear the steering rack while pushing the engine back far enough...
Good for you. Just make sure the coolant has been changed and there are no head gasket leaks. We found one white spark plug from a tiny coolant leak which turned out to be a head bolt had corroded loose in the block.
I always question the Blue Book Prices. When we purchased the '98 for my...
I am confused. Is this not a pushrod suspension with the coil-over inside the body? I like torsion bar on the lower control arm, but you still have to deal with the shock, so it ends up being more work.
In your front wheel drive design, what is the drive from jack-shaft to axle? Chain...
My son bought a low mileage '98 Deville Concours @ 5 years ago for $2800. Knowing the problem with the head bolts corroding and pulling out of the block, we had head studs installed and the engine re-sealed. There have been countless electrical problems since, but he is very happy with it...
My main focus would be the largest members, the pivot points for the upper and lower control arms. These can be very tight holes in any skirt. The tierod along with the drive axle, will be the most difficult to seal.
