Bloomberg Predicts EVs Cheaper than IC Engine Cars Within 10 Years (computerworld.com)

Lucas123 writes: With the price of lithium-ion batteries continuing to plummet, already dropping 65% since 2010, electric vehicles will become cheaper to own by the mid-2020s, according to a new report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The report also forecasts that sales of EVs will hit 41 million by 2040, up from 462,000 in 2015. By 2040, EVs will make up 35% of new light-duty vehicle sales, even if the price of crude oil goes back up from $33 today to $70 in the future. The adoption of EVs will displace about 13 million barrels of oil per day by 2040, when the clean-energy cars represent about one-quarter of cars on the road.

Re:what point? Libertarians vote fasist

Wow...you REALLY haven't been paying attention to what has been going on, have you? When a speaker that the SJWs don't agree with comes to speak, do they do like what we now call "classical liberals" and simply hold up signs expressing their views, maybe actually try to debate the person on their positions?

Nope because the SJW positions are so whack-a-doodle that rational debate is right out so instead you have SJWs and BLMs bathing in fake period blood and screaming about "muh privilege"...to a gay man. Which is their oppression Olympics was to be actually believed would be one of the most oppressed groups out there. But of course it doesn't have dick to do with oppression, or thug lives, or anything else but good old classical Marxism taken straight out of the little red book. Their entire platform is "the rights of the group matter more than the rights of the individual" which is nothing but straight up Marx.

So yeah people are long past fed up with frankly how extreme the left has gotten and just as we saw in the late 70s we are about to have a VERY hard swing back to the right. People are being tired of being told they are to blame for things their ancestors didn't even do (just FYI less than 5% of Americans alive today can trace ancestors back to actual slave owners) or being told that the core tenants that America was founded on, that if you work hard, study, and better yourself you can get ahead, is total bullshit and all that matters is what your sex or skin color is and how that ranks on some oppression scale.

And at the end of the day who will be to blame? The left, just as it was the right who was to blame when they let the moral majority and neo-cons run the centrists out of the party and fucked them for the better part of the decade. Americans are all about fairness and equal opportunity, but the extreme left that has taken over the party do not care about equal opportunity but equality of outcome and between that and the SJW faction grabbing the mike at every chance to act like whiny Captain Planeteers? Yeah get ready for a BIG hard right shift. Mark my words...2016 is gonna be 1979 for the left all over again.
