I thought Lisa Simpson was the smart one...I guess she never made it out of grade school in order to fail high school chemistry?

Lisa is on to something, lets ditch the batteries that need charging and use the ones where we would stop to regularly fill up with chemicals.

the things we see

I'm a pump mechanic. Sewer bypasses, creek bypasses, draining quarries, municipal water, etc......

Years ago we were doing a sewer bypass in Little Rock. Got a service call on christmas eve, the pump wouldn't pump.

Disconnected the suction line and shined a flashlight up into the pump.

The reached in with a long pry bar and plucked out a tee shirt, pair of blue jeans, some socks and undy'

Informed the customer that cleaning out the intake on the pump is their responsibility and handed them a bill. Triple time since it was the holiday.

Fast forward to the end of the job. Went down to load up the hoses and drag the pump back to the shop.

They had a whole laundry basket worth of men's clothes (similar sizes) in a pile next to the pump.

I figure someone ticked off their significant other and the "other" dumped all his clothes down a manhole

It all depends on the type of battery. Yes, some do generate electricity chemically.

Even those require energy to manufacture them, and surprise, surprise, the 2nd law of thermodynamics says you can't get out more than you put in, and it doesn't matter how you put it in, you can't get out more than you put in. (Actually, you can't even get that much back out. There are always losses.)

HOW they get that energy does not change that. Manufacturing chemicals which are then placed in a container and react to create electricity is not creating power. It's just another way of storing it.


So she's correct. Batteries store energy. Period. They do not create energy. That's essentially the definition of a battery.

Marketing fail?


I call it truth in advertising!

It all depends on the type of battery. Yes, some do generate electricity chemically. But most of the one used in hybrid and EV cars only store energy. That energy that comes from gas, coal, nuclear, solar, wind, etc. So unless you specifically charge those batteries from solar or wind, they are not zero emission.

LOL ok Lisa

The batteries in EVs only 'transfer' energy NOT 'create' it. The proEVers want you to see then as 'clean' without considering just WHERE and HOW do they get their new electrons from. usually overnight plugged into a $$ wall outlet.

That ain't just Ireland. Buddy worked for Ford back in the mid 90's. He had a limo come in for repairs and service.

Coworker was goofing around in the back of the limo, reached his hand between the seats and pulled out a vibrater.
