I wonder why nobody has built a hybrid pickup? Seems like putting a bunch of batteries under the bed might be a good way to improve traction, in addition to improving the overall mileage of the vehicle.
Are there some technical issues that perhaps I'm missing? I mean, I'm no automotive engineer...

Ford is making the F150 in a full electric version, but it won't be out for a year or more. Tesla is making one, as is Rivian. The Rivian will get 400 miles on a charge, has incredible clearance and can go through water 3 feet deep. Tesla's will have a 14,000 pound towing capacity.

Good! Pass the cost on to your client! That's what's supposed to happen!
What purpose does that accomplish?
It increases the cost of using carbon fuels and people / clients look for alternatives, or they pay the tax which goes to fund development of sustainable solutions and alternatives, and the additional costs and funding provide incentive to invent develop and produce sustainable alternatives.
If you're not smart enough to understand that, then you probably shouldn't be driving any type of vehicle at all.Last edited by reckless toboggan; 01-23-2020 at 08:31 AM.

That’s not how taxes work. But yes heavy pickups and suvs can get accelerated deductions. Cars cannot.
So a $50k suv can depreciated in full the first year. If it’s a light car it takes five years.
And if you trade that pickup in three years for $30k and buy another $50k pickup you only get to deduct another $20k not the whole $50k

VW got caught cheating on diesel emissions by independent researchers and as a result we now know the amount of pollution emitted by all diesel-powered vehicles is much higher in the real world than was previously claimed by all car & truck manufactures.
Air pollution has well established links to lung cancer and heart disease, and is also connected to increased risk of other diseases like diabetes and Alzheimer's arising from the chronic inflammation that it causes.
Setting aside greenhouse gasses, the dividends gained from moving to cleaner more sustainable technologies is a cleaner less polluted environment which also benefits human health.

A tax on carbon dioxide emissions in Great Britain, introduced in 2013, has led to the proportion of electricity generated from coal falling from 40% to 3% over six years, according to research led by UCL.

Cardenas and his team were diving in the area to try to study the effects on the ocean ecosystems of groundwater from nearby islands. There, they discovered Soda Springs - not created by any human cause, but a nearby volcano, venting through cracks in the ocean floor.
"It's really a big part of the ocean that is left unexplored because it's too shallow for remotely operated vehicles and is too deep for regular divers," he explained.
It's not a cause for climate concern, since the area has likely been bubbling for a very long time, maybe even thousands of years; but Soda Springs could be the highest concentration of carbon dioxide ever found in nature.

Excellent 2 hour episode of Nova on PBS "Polar Extremes" about climate variability and the science behind determining past climates and using that information to predict future climates. Should be available to stream on the Nova homepage now. A lot better than the usual Nova episode.

your problem is you have changed the narrative to fit results. CO2 should be eternally warming the planet given human increases; things like 700 inches of snow in Tahoe last year should never have happened. I am not, if the sun weakens intensity, it cools, if it intensifies it warm and man is a pinprick. sun is weakening, its cooling.
and i'll keep posting here as long as this political issue is not in polyass. I leave the weed thread alone as its legal, you all are adults and you all know long term will not work out well for you; not going to beat you over the head with that.TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !
