1- The fuel efficiency benefits of green cars are compelling, but has anyone done any research regarding the amount of resources (energy, coal, electricity) etc. required to build one car?


excellent.
you are smart.
we need so many energy coal and electricity to build a car.
but worse we need so many employees. Designers, engineers, technicians, marketing employees, and employees.
Must feed all this employees with food.
Must transport this food to this employees.
Must transport this employees to work.
and so on.
it’s a long process. So much energy required to build a car.
Then when we built a car, we must use this car during 25 years. Several owners.first hand owner, second hand owner, and so on.

It doesn’t mean that the one who buy it new must use it during 25 years.

And today there is a massacre going on.
Millions of people buy a car.
And this idiots don’t know that a car rust under the rain.
Millions of people let the car outside during the night.
That’s an ecological massacre.

A beautifull car, a motorbike, a truck, a train, a subway, an excavator, must not stay under the rain at night.
if a car is covered every night with a plastic cover, it will not rust.
If a car stay oustsie at night without plastic cover, it will rust early.
After 10 years this car will be rusted.


We must protect our items, we must maintain our items.
So they will last during long time.
So we will not extract row materials so often.
So we will not use so much energy.





2-a more important question is for what you use your car
most people do not think about it but they only drive a few miles with their car on a regular basis but they still have big heavy cars or cars which a suited for long trips...the thing is they use a lot of fuel because they are not built for short trips.



good also.
the car it’s a one tone machine.
We use it to move a 70 kilos body in average.
for short distance, we must use a scooter.
simple efficient, need so few oil.




3- A used car is a good alternative but think of its engine efficiency too. It might be emitting more CO2 than newer more efficient cars and in the long run we'll only be adding to more carbon in the atmosphere, more than what it took to create it.


Interesting. But we should change the engine for a high end one, while keeping the car.
CO2 is a fashion talk.
5 years from now we will not talk about it any more.

frankly the car makers cheated us.
They force us too buy new models. They produce too many cars. We don’t need so many.

An engine is just one little part of a car.
We should be able to remove it easily,
After 5 years, We should be able to replace the engine easily with a new high end engine, more efficient.
We must buy a good brand. Reliable.
We must protect our cars against the rain.
Doing so it will last 25 years.
And every 5 years or something like that, we replace the engine with a more efficient one.

That will be ecofriendly.
less row materials, less energy used for building cars.

I work for a research institute, people very smart. I know about cars.
You are from Canada, this country know nothing about building cars at a large scale and cars technology.
Canada doesn't build any vehicles : Cars, motorbikes, tracks, buses. Canada is not really an Industry country. They don’t produce mobile phones, computers, industry tools machinery high tech
German people, Japanese, USA, French, sweedish, Koreans, Chinese, Indians are the only one on earth who mass produce vehicles.
Just people who doesn't anything about electricity believe in Ecars.
Do you think that the electricity come from a spring in the mountain or something?
Electricity is made with crude oil or gaz or nuclear plants or coal.
That kill our resources at first, and it pollutes so much.
This city electricity plants exhaust so much carbons.
And the worth things is that only 30 percent of what they produce arrive to your house.
65 percent get lost during the electricity wire travel.
So electricity is the worse energy in fact.
Just it's enable people like you to receive a good paycheck by making the population believe that it's the future.
In 1920 the first cars were already electric. You invent nothing. Just make people believe of a future things.
Scientists i know them, they can't see the elephant right in front of them.
And they think making money at first. Even if they reinvent something that will never take off.
A car weight one tone. and a human weight 75 kilos.
Then our vehicles must weight 80 kilos maximum and drive at 50 kilometers an hour.
In the cities at least.
Will take 20 years to the scientists to understand that.
.
Our cities must be less poluted. The electricity can't just move anything right now.
An ebike must be reloaded every 4 hours.
An ecar must be reloaded every five hours.
Just must not produce this useless things. That's a con, money extorsion. People from the population buy that and can't drive it in fact. They abandon it in the garage after 2 months.
That's the reality.
Now we can only use gas scooter. It's uses so few gas. That doesn't produce any carbon compare to a car. Like 5 times less carbon as a car. Ans you can commute with it. Nothing elese works right now.
And if the popuation use at a large scale this gas scooters with roofs, then we can mass produce biofuels.
Even if it's more expensive, biofuels will be very affordable for the 5 liters of a gas scooter.
Stop your research about ecars. You will never be able to move a one tone car during three days, with bateries that last five years. Think weight, must be more light! you blind scientist!. No need anymore of this one tone matal box. I m more smart than you.
