40 years ago (high school), we were told the world was going into a second ice age and all petroleum would be exhausted in 20 years. Overpopulation would cause a “life boat” dynamic where some would be left to die. Then, in the early 90s it changed to global warming. Then in the 2000 to climate change because it could be cold or hot. IIRC. The “inconvenient truth” told us sea levels would rise 60 meters in 10 years causing the US coasts to be under water. I think that was 15 years ago. Science?

Have you ever researched that phenomenon to see if it was a majority of scientists and how much credit it was given at the time?

There are about 700,000 Americans that would sadly agree with you.

What year did it change from tailpipe pollutants to CO2?

was a thing and then there was Tuberculosis and there was HIV/AIDS and SARS and Mad Cow disease and Swine Flu and Bird Flu and now it's Covid-19. In 10 years there will be something else. And in that time there will be other factors that will pop up in place of ICE vehicles. Who knows. Maybe the EV batteries will emit something hazardous in 50 years and then we'll have to switch to something else. And then 70 years from that point we'll be facing some new challenges from whatever technology we're using at that point. I'll be long gone by then...thank God, lol!! But maybe in 2194 on the Camaro 584 forum there will be a Coldlap and a Wytevoid debating about whaever existing tech is outgoing/incoming. LOL!! Still there is plenty of time left to fully enjoy these vehicles. By the time the EVs become prevalent, who knows, maybe you'll have driven one and will be going on about how you just did a 2.63 0-60 on the test drive in regular mode. |

What would GM look like if Tim Allen was CEO? Would the Camaro live? maybe even see the Chevelle SS make a comeback?

Mary is a bean counter. Mainly worked on the assembly line and HR and management. Her degree is in electrical engineering, hence likely why she's wanting to pimp EV so bad. A lot of these executives are simply out of touch. A guy at my part time job just bought a Tesla. He's b*tching because there is no charging states for over 30 miles and has to use the slow home charger. I'd hate to see Mary having a serious say in what an EV Camaro should look like. These divisions need enthusiasts designing and consulting in the development. Classic example is the modern GTO. Pontiac bastarized that Cavalier look a like and it wasn't popular. |
