carnage could kill you

Jennifer, thanks and we are looking forward to better days. It's going to be one small step at a time that makes the world more inhabitable and stable. Not an easy thing for any of us.

Hi Bill, I am having a lot of fun here. It keeps me busy and I am thrilled you liked this. Your comment means a lot, sir!

IE, I was reading some info on Maldives as a result of seeing where you are from. It must be very different from here, which is wonderful of course. I often imagine a much better infrastructure for getting from place to place that reduces the number of cars we use, but we like being able to go on our own schedules. It's a luxury.

Anne-Lise, we actually have seen that many people in Norway are driving electric. It's a really good thing for your country!!! If you have charging at home or nearby to where you live, you will be in great shape. I'm just sorry we need to have a car at all. They're very expensive to own.

Daniel, you are so kind and generous with comments. It's a lot of work to respond in the way you do and makes you a very special someone for all of us here. I just can't imagine what people will be thinking (if we're still here hundreds of years from now) about how we used cars as a primary means of transportation even though we damaged the environment. The fact that they sit unused for long periods makes electric charging work really well. We put charging in our garage so it was easy to go EV. We've also made some long trips, and that worked out really well. When there is charging available at both ends of a journey it's easy...some hotels also offer charging and we usually select those if we're on a long trip.

David, glad you could laugh....I know you have a sense of humor!! At least stills used grain and would not be releasing carbon that was sequestered over millions of years. I am imagining that we are about to witness some remarkable happenings as a result of the exponential growth of our species and release of greenhouse gases. We lemmings live in very exciting times.

thanks, I try to be eclectic. I think you do too

Andrea, most welcome are you! I was hoping someone would notice the hidden pun...car-nage. I am repeating myself, but I am very fond of your work and dedication to poetry in general. You have a very interesting take and so many different subjects, and that is wonderful!

Vijay, no doubt we can't switch instantaneously. But if we are serious about surviving over the long term, we should make the switch as soon as we can and do a lot of other things to protect our home planet. It's a fun subject and we can also see some humor in it since that adds to the pleasure of examining the situation.

Yes Kim, I have mixed feelings about where we're at. My wife and I share one EV and nothing else. My son and daughter each have a model 3. However, we also know that these may only help the environment slightly, though as the source of electricity changes over time to wind and solar, they become more environment friendly. Gas cars are always bad.
