When youre looking for a good project car, its easy to get caught up on the little things that are wrong. Sometimes, too much focus on the details can keep you.

Lincoln Continental Electro Cruiser, took DH Lovelife and I on a trip the other day to celebrate 5. Lincvolt was built to show that electric transportation is a viable path forward. Lincvolt gets 5. 5 MPGE, generated onboard. Greenhouse gas emissions. GHG per gallon compared to gasoline. The 6. 20. 0 lb Lincoln originally got under 1. There is a Shakey Pictures Series in the works right now in Canada telling the life story of Lincvolt and her conversion to electric power. This scene was so beautiful that we decided to stop and take a picture of it. Video by DH Lovelife. Thanks from Neil Young and the Lincvolt team. June 9, 2. 01. 5Lincvolt is alive and well folks. America and Canada so far NTSB rating Check out the video and enjoy the ride in the Lincvolt Electro Cruiser. I love my car. Neil and the Lincvolt team thank you for your support. January 2. 7, 2. 01. The Alberta oilsands debate is a major part of the world environmental stage, with its excessive CO2 and the politically charged nature of Canadas broken treaties. Most of the Lincvolt project revolves around a solution to replacing fossil fuel as the primary transportation fuel. This solution, The Bio Electric Transportation Model, was developed with these core ideas. Fleet adaption for proof of concept. Standardized battery sizes for vehicles. A leasing model for batteries to dramatically lower the cost of electric vehicles. Utility Companies storing renewable Energy with leased batteries at end of life for vehicles, yet still very powerful for storage of renewable energy. Exhausted batteries recycled into the leasing model. This diagram represents a Fleet application. The Bio Electric Transportation Model is based on established studies revealing that majority of cars travel approximately 3. If those were electric cars with generators or without, they would never use fuel to extend range on an average day. Cars that do exceed that distance are a very small part of the total and can have their range extended by biomass based second generation Bio fuels with a super low CO2 footprint in onboard generators. The diagram above is dedicated to phase 1, fleets, as a proof of concept. Find the latest business news on Wall Street, jobs and the economy, the housing market, personal finance and money investments and much more on ABC News. Phase 2 would require a government regulated presence of bio fuels in the delivery chain, ie, roadside fueling stations and inevitable carbon taxes. USE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO SOLVE SOCIETAL ISSUES STAN OVSHINSKY. Chris Woodyard, USA Today, October 4, 2. Elon Musk, never shy about personally bloggingin defense of his companys electric car, has taken to the Web against in reaction to fallout over a video showing a Model S that caught on fire. Dlc Downloader Windows 7 64 Bit here. Musks reaction comes as Tesla shares fell during the week after the video started receiving thousands of page views. After the video came to light, shares fell from 1. But then they started to recover, rising 7. Friday to close at 1. Musks bottom line is the accident outside Seattle that caused the Model S sedan and its battery pack to go up in smoke would have been far worse had it been a conventional gasoline powered car. Had a conventional gasoline car encountered the same object on the highway, the result could have been far worse, Musk, who is also CEO of rocket maker Space. X, writes on Tesla blog. Read more here. Tweet. September 2. 3, 2. With the following information from Alberta it seems expansion of the tar sands operations would be ill conceived, but thats not stopping the Big Oil companies and the Canadian government, as they continue raping Albertas Boreal Forests, killing everything in their way. The Element Ken Robinson Epub Download Gratis on this page. Canada seems to have lost its conscience. Canadian Press. EDMONTON Albertas energy industry has found that cleaning up tar sands tailings is much harder than it thought. The provinces energy regulator says all tar sands companies affected by tailings reduction rules missed what were supposed to be legally binding targets some by wide margins. All were given extra years to meet reductions that should have been done by now. Its tougher than they thought, Terry Abel of the Energy Resources Conservation Board said Tuesday. Its tougher than we thought, too. September 3, 2. 01. On my recent trip to Fort Mac in Alberta, I drove Lincvolt about 1. San Francisco running on Cellulosic Ethanol fuel. I have chosen to use Ethanol, a much cleaner fuel created from plants nourished by the sun and rain and grown by farmers rather than run on gasoline, which has a carbon footprint of 1. LBS pump to tailpipe per gallon or 2. LBS CO2 per gallon earth to tailpipe according to the Mass Institute of Technology. Although E 8. 5 is hard to find in some parts of the USA, it is much cleaner than gasoline and since I am a believer in Climate Chaos as a result of Global Warming, I have chosen this greener fuel. On the trip back from Fort Mac, I ran out of fuel in Red Deer Alberta after searching in vain for an E 8. CANADA. In Red Deer Alberta we were told by Husky Oil reps that they had never heard of E 8. Lincvolt does not run on gasoline by design. In Canada, where the dirtiest oil on the planet is extracted from the Alberta Tar sands at an immeasurable human cost to the First Nations people, and disease statistics reflect 3. This is un Canadian. As a proud Canadian, I cannot let this go by without a fight. Canadians deserve Freedom to Choose the Fuel they use. Canadians should have a fuel choice at the pump that considers Future Generations. Canadians should have the freedom to express themselves through the choices they make, not have those choices made for them by a government that is too close to industry and over concerned with money and petro dollar value. We do not have to be spoon fed by the Big Oil Companies. Stand with me for Future Generations and Bring Light to the conditions In Canada as we move forward on this mission. As time passes, you will see what we are up to. If you believe in Freedom of Choice for Canadians, you will have a voice in this with us. It will be your chance to stand up. BRING LIGHT FUTURE GENERATIONS Neil Young. Tweet. Lincvolt is living proof. The big car has a lot to say. An 8. 6 reduction in Greenhouse Gases per gallon of fossil fuel if you burn next generation bio fuel instead of gasoline. That is the future. Cellulosic ethanol. Canada should be ashamed of the Alberta Tar Pits. The tar sands have impacted First Nations so badly. I am 8. 5 years old and us old people are having such a hard time today because this is not what we knew growing up. We used to drink the water straight from the streams and creeks, and now no one can do that. We dont know what is in the water now. I eat very little of the food I grew up on, moose, caribou, fish. We dont even eat the berries and medicines anymore because there is too much pollution in the air and the land. When I was growing up people just died of old age, now there are so many sicknesses that were never here before. Dont believe the oil company propaganda you are subsidizing Do something. Because we want to show that big cars can be clean cars, because in fact there are many viable alternatives to fossil fueled carbon pollution destroying our planets climate balance, we want to show what a big clean car can do and why you should actively oppose the forces of Climate Chaos that are attacking the world we live in. You can make a difference by not giving up.
