Personal interlude - A little disappointment

I'm a little down to see so few people I know buying Electric Vehicles.  I know it's only one piece of the lowering emissions puzzle.  Smaller family size, more sustainable food production, clean energy, low carbon materials production.  These are all part of the puzzle too. My youngest son graduates college in May 2019. I'm so proud he has done this where I could not. My older son has an AA and great job as well. Both boys flying higher than the 20th Century voyager.

So we helped the youngest with the most base model of the Tesla 3 for graduation. Kevin for years had gone to Electric Vehicle shows and EV outreach meetings. I was proud to help him and his smile at driving an environmentally better vehicle is unmistakable.

Ok it's a first world solution, a fast fun EV.  Still considering it's impact why aren't more people I know buying EVs.  Base models can be had for $35K but despite my efforts to get the word out few if any friends are buying EVs yet. A mystery to me why folks aren't spending an extra 5K over that Avalon or Camry to get a fun car with no emissions. Well I guess I'm not a vegan either so we all have some improvement to go. Still Solar Panels on my roof, EV in the driveway - parts of this are not that hard people. Now - recycling with less plastic and local food - that's a challenge for me I admit.

Don't give up. A used Volt, Bolt, or Tesla is also possible for those short on funds. Source your electric Get on board.

On a personal note Opportunity on Mars finally was declared dead.  The 20th Century Voyager is lonely out here, signalling back to friends on the iceberg ahead and trying to tell the net about a critical change in course we must make to save our grandchildren.
