Letter to the Editor: Some electric ideas
Trending
Yes, I do believe in global warming. I am 86 years old and I still live in the house I was born in. Also, my dad and five sisters were in this same house. My sister and I rode horses to the Barlow Fair when I was about 14 years old. By the last of September there was no green grass.
There was lots of ice, though.
I think we do need electric cars, but also gas cars.
Abe Lincoln and I had things in common: I am a conservative Christian and a Republican.
There are two ways to make more electric. Would this work? There are more people in prison than there are in colleges, and this was tried once in 1900. A bus was set up to run on the pedaling that produced enough electricity to run the bus.
The Bible says, if you don't work, you don't eat. To encourage enough people to pedal, you would have two types of meals: food to stay alive and better food, for an incentive.
The second thought is about Yellow Freight. It is in bankruptcy. They could get a grant to install electric chargers in each truck to plug your car into the truck, to charge your car. Trucks have to run all night to keep warm or cool.
The cost of keeping someone in prison is more than $100,000 a year. Help them work.
