SUV vs SUB

[Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble Philosopher]

SUVs have their own niche. Outside of that, they become symbols of power that can cause much damage.

Bicycles are more necessary.

The polluter must give way to the nonpolluter.

The polluter must give way to the nonpolluter.

So that means the CO2 panting cyclists and pedestrians must give way to
the zero emission electric vehicles. ;-)
Actually it's somewhat the other way around. The small vehicle must
give way to the large one, especially when dealing with ships since big
ships are much harder to quickly stop or turn than a small tug boat or
rowing boat.

However the manufacturing that goes into the electric car would be too much. The electric bike is much preferred.

We should write our own 10 commandments, that would start like this:

1- The polluter gives way to the nonpolluter.

2- Human power is preferred over the internal combustion engine.

3- People have priority over corporations, such as big oil...

etc.

By the way, they came up with a new electric scooter in Taiwan that has a range of 60 miles. That sounds awesome.

Ach! du lieber Augustin. The range would vary inversely according to the mass of the rider. I would expect the scooter to go farther in Taiwan than in the much celebrated South Florida.

Even 40 miles would be quite a bit. A scooter is used for shorter distances than a car. Pure electric cars don't do much more.

Thank God I can depend upon volcanoes to continue pumping life-sustaining CO2 into the air, so that it can be converted into life-sustaining papayas for my table. My newest papaya tree is a jolly green giant loaded with about 20 new green papayas, all attributable to the presence of Florida sunshine, water and carbon dioxide.

6CO2 + 6H2O -> 6O2 + papaya

It may be said the mango tree may be better for happiness than the papaya tree. The shade of the mango tree is unsurpassed. Try hanging a hammock.

We could make our communities more healthy if we had more trees. Buddha sat under a tree and got enlightened. I say, go ride a bike then sit under the tree. Oh sorry, Florida doesn't welcome bikes.

Lots of semi damaged folk can't manage a bike.

True, but they should be able to manage a trike. They are popular with the older folks. I own one and I love it. It's not better or worse than a bike, just different. I own the one with the wide seat and I can sit on it for a long while perfectly comfortable. With the bike you must be moving. The basket in the back is a plus, but some of my cargo bikes can carry more load. Again, they are the perfect choice for many people.

Lots of us have non functional legs.
Peddling is right out of the question.
Also, if you live in a rural area........................bikes are never
a solution.

Perhaps the lack of regular exercise may result in weak legs. The law of nature is "use it or lose it."

Can't use parts that have no nerve contact with the control center.

I know, some people just can't. Most other people would benefit from keeping the body functioning until the end.

Sitting down and driving everywhere is the worst you can do to your body.
