Flush from the brazillion solar roofs victory, Governor Hydrogen Hummer Becomes Governor Electric...
Hummer.

With California now leading itself in solar hype talk, Governor Hydrogen Hummer has now announced another new California "environmental" policy: Support for the Electric Hummer.

http://blog.wired.com/cars/2009/04/hybrid-hummer-c.html

According to the Governor, owner of a hydrogen Hummer that he was never allowed to drive unless he had a full time GM engineer sitting next to him, the electric Hummer gets a brazillion miles per gallon of electrons:


California governor and Hummer aficionado Arnold Schwarzenegger hailed a 100-mpg hybrid version of the much-maligned SUV when it was unveiled Monday in Detroit.

The Raser H3 range-extended electric vehicle was among the vehicles Schwarzenegger checked out during the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress, where he called for a national energy policy that promotes efficient vehicles. The governor, a self-professed car lover who owns 12 vehicles, seemed impressed by what he saw.

"There is nothing wrong with the Hummer; it's great vehicle," he said, according to The Detroit News. "We should change the technology within those vehicles."

Raser Technologies and its partner FEV plan to do just that by converting the H3 into a range-extended electric vehicle that works a lot like the Chevrolet Volt and Fisker Karma.

"The technology in this electric-powered Hummer is a leap ahead for U.S. automakers," company CEO Brent Cook said. "It could make the nation's popular light trucks and SUVs greener than a Prius."



The Governor, whose depth of thought roughly approximates the level of a dumb uneducated anti-nuke car CULTure apologist with a completely oblivious attitude to science, has, of course, no idea how many brazillion solar roofs would be required to run just one electric Hummer, but he's real sure that it won't impact business at the hydrogen stations he had built all along Interstate 5 so he could drive his existing hydrogen Hummer from Sacramento to LA whenever his GM engineer wasn't on vacation.

And on the Brazillion solar roof front, California continues to build new plants fueled by the dangerous fossil fuel dangerous natural gas at a http://energyalmanac.ca.gov/electricity/WECC_PROPOSED_GENERATION.XLS
">dizzying rate.

Apparently the brazillions of solar roofs didn't do shit to prevent new gas capacity from being installed in California, but that's no fucking surprise really.

1. Just a heads up - your bottom link is broken.
Which, of course, in and of itself proves you haven't a clue what you're talking about....

4. You mean, Giggles, California ISN'T building 52,314.2 MW of NEW gas capacity?
Or is just that all of you bourgeois giggly boys just don't a give a serious fuck about climate change, because you can't think, can't do numbers, can't write and can't read?

Pressed, I'd giggles, the last is the case.

So much for the brazillion solar roofs, which, like all religious dogma is just a fucking hallucination.

Have another drink, giggles, while the world races to 400 ppm because little bourgeois brats who have never held a real job sit around claiming that the world's largest source of climate change energy wiped out Harrisburg VA in 1979, and Kiev in 1986.

And while you're having that drink, Giggles, don't try to come here and tell anyone that you give a fuck about how many people will die from climate change in the next ten years.
