The electric car race in Montreal was a financial failure
I read Le journal 24 and it appears that for the local businesses it was a failure. Restaurants were close to empty and other establishments have reported similar. They're all claiming that the 3 weeks of hell the city put them through getting ready for the event wasn't worth it because they've all lost money.
So another failure for the electric car |

As for Montreal.... This city really has been pushing these events and festivals for years instead of getting a real economy. Government hasn't heard of Internet and how today many people would rather just sit at home instead of going to a concert, event, etc. It was destined to fail and all the merchants knew it but no one in city hall would listen. At all levels Quebec's government and institutions are incompetent at best and half-ass at worst.

Because an electric car event was a failure doesn't mean electric cars will be a failure.

Electric cars are only going to be a "Niche" in the foreseeable future. What's going to really hit the market are self-driving cars. Personally I'm hoping that big oil pushes back against them because people who own their own cars will always use far more gas than a fleet of "pay per ride" cars will.

you can say I'm a luddite.... You can even claim I'm "scared" of the technology and change... But the future is Aldous Huxley and I'll argue we're already living in a dystopian world I know a few things about technology because when I was a child my parents still bought gramophone records. I've had 45s, LPs, 8 tracks, etc. Back in the 70s some of "old timers" we're already trying to digitize and transmit smut using the "Internet" so we wouldn't get caught smuggling it across the border or on sex tourism. Honestly none of this shit has made the world any better. When electric self-driving cars become the norm you can kiss freedom of any kind goodbye. The establishment is going to know where you are... where you're going.. who you're seeing... etc. Plus there's going to be so much unemployment that guaranteed Welfare will be the norm and that means if you don't kiss the establishment's asshole you won't eat or live indoors. So if you really want to do the world some good... Go back to the horse and buggy.

Digitizing porn in the 80's and early 90's lead to the explosion of porn and porn business we have today, created lots of new wealth and even social networks like GFY, that you and I are talking on today. And of course the underlying technology of the Internet has made the world much better. We connect with each other, we do business, we see the world in ways that were impossible just 25 years ago. How some people have used this technology on the other hand, is evil. That I will of course give you. Don't blame the tech, blame the people who use it for nastiness. Quote:

All stupid crap-talk aside, the Formula-E race in Montreal was a great idea.
Yes it could have been planned better but the event was a perfect showcase for Quebec's green energy programs and electric cars in general. And anyone who knows their car history, car races are a huge boon to the car industry. The Forumula E races are sanctioned by the same body as that of the F1 race - Paris-based Fédération internationale de l’automobile, and adds Montreal to the list of exotic cities like Hong Kong, Marrakech, Buenos Aires, Paris, and Berlin. The race also brought over 20 million viewers world-wide. Was it perfect? No, but instead of bitching about it like a whiny old "bring back the good-old days" grandpa, ideas should be considered to make it an even better race next year, and the year after that. And if you can't or won't, don't complain anyway - someone else will do it for you.

If you've ever had the pleasure of spending more than $500k to produce a smut film and attended the "actual real life premier" of that movie in a real cinema.... Trust me you wouldn't say the Industry has been made better by the Internet. Just the same, Some of us old timers we're stealing, bribing, threatening, hustling and false promising everyone connected with ARPANET to help them transmit pirated smut from one state to another and to avoid getting arrested on sexual tourism charges. I'm not sure if anyone succeeded but I do remember being hit up for some hook-ups. Quote:

Nope I can honestly say we discuss the bomb instead of computers. Also no new jobs were created by automation... It was market diversification and demand for cheap throw away crap that created new jobs. The problem is that today's automation is saturating the market's needs and no one is producing anything different. Plus governments and corporations (aka. The Establishment) have gone absolutely hog fucking stupid with surveillance. The Establishment has always seen us as necessary evil to create wealth and power. It's also paranoid that one day we might not need them so they use technology to keep us drunk on fear and hope with the occasional brainwashing dream displayed on a screen. Quote:
On the other hand despite you and I having this conversation I'm still all alone in my home when I type out my responses and this computer is a toxic environmental nightmare produced by slave labor

Who sits around wanting energy sources that are alternatives to dirty fossil fuels to not succeed? Old assholes who have maybe a couple of good years left...that's who. I guess if something doesn't make money right now, then it's worthless. I'm putting aside the fact that you just cherry picked one story like it means something in the broad scope of successes or failures in clean energy.

Or did the 1980's call and want their idealism back? This entire electric car thing is so 1980s Generation X that it might sell better if Boy George was hired as its spokesperson. Here's something you don't want to know and that is it takes 3 barrels of crude oil to make 1 solar panel and the technological grid needed to support it is a toxin nightmare built by slave labor and children mining the minerals for the chips.

To clarify:
Quote:
Formula 1 races in Montreal are on their own track, with the parties held on Crescent street, one of the most popular dining and clubbing streets in Montreal. Trying to somehow attach the slow business of bars & restaurants on a single, poorly planned race to electric cars in general is super lazy of you, and only goes to display your extreme confirmation bias against electric cars and change in general.

You don't think that "the industry" has been made better by the Internet, but you're looking at this the wrong way. The way that you used to make porn, is no longer an interesting option, to anyone or even now to you. It's too expensive, too slow, and almost all the porn theatres are gone, right? Instead of crying about the long-gone old days, why not embrace the new? Surely a man of your creative genius can take advantage of all these modern tools to create a masterpiece of "smut", no?

Next, a typical solar panel pays for itself within 2 years of its carbon cost, as of 2015, meaning all the energy it produces after that is "free". In 2017, new technologies such as solar tiles, use alot less materials and energy during the production phase. Quote:
To SUPPORT it however is another story. Gas and oil require manufacturing, transportation via trains and pipelines, and storage underground (for gas stations). There are so many possibilities for disasters with gas and oil and disasters happen daily with this form of energy, causing an obscene amount of pollution. How many disasters have there been thanks to Solar panels? Please check the tag on the back of your shirt collar. What brand are you wearing?

Because I still lend him money I'll never get back. But I've got a lot less days ahead of me than I do behind me so I'm not too concerned. My grandson is an over-educated bum. Albeit he's a very lovable bum but a bum nonetheless. Quote:
So the reason I'm on here the Internet is because I've got nothing better to do. It's also the reason I continue to make my small contribution to my local smut industry. It gives me something to do without any kind of commitments so that I can bugger off to go fishing with one of my kids or babysit my one of my great-grandchildren. I've made the bulk of my money from a porn industry that offered more than $2.00 commission for each porn membership sold or a .05¢ click thru. And this is what it comes down to.... You can talk about technology and the availability to make porn and watch porn with a keystroke. BUT I've actually had Sturman hand me a suitcase of money and tell me to make him a movie. Quote:
If you notice I wrote "Hook Ups." What I was asked for was the broads to either get someone laid or setup. Now what the jizz biz does extremely well is gossip. The talk at the time was about certain people attempting to transport porn electronically instead of physically. Several of those people wanted hook ups from me. So you do the math. Quote:

Fuck the beer... I make my own whisky! I brew single malt (of course). I use rye, barely, wheat and corn and I use birch barrels. Oh and I've got a fair amount that's been nicely maturing since 1979 according to my secret recipe. So I'll bring a nice big bottle. Warning... When I drink I like to get into fights and fondle women I don't know. Especially women with really big tits and big asses.
