Andover High School, Class of 16' :o

Great to have another person with me. Right now I am in the process of drafting a bill to tax carbon, but for it to pass it needs to be on the ballot. I am going to need some money up front to hire a...

For sure! Personally I think that when we talk about sustainable energy, it really means solar energy, so I am slightly partial to it. But really sustainable energy can come from multiple places,...

A part of this movement is to eventually transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy.

I think that in reality, it would be much harder to move energy companies directly than it would be to...

A gas tax would need to be done over a long period time in short increments [[unfortunately). Or maybe it could be done through a carbon tax?

Interesting outlook, it seems like a totally feasible outcome. Unless alternative fuel sources become prominent, I don't see how it could have a lower demand.

Well the short answer the that question is no. There are legitimate scientific gaps that are preventing us from figuring out how we can synthetically replicate the photosynthesis that plants do on a...

Is that enough? Are there other directions to tackle this from then?

Unless they aren't paying for fuel, i.e. electric cars ;)

But that is aside the point, we are looking at possible tax cuts for higher R&D, and production, of electric cars.

So what what point would a subsidy become appealing to automakers? How sizable of a tax cut do you think would appeal to them? Purely looking for speculation, I'd assume you wouldn't have any means...

I fully understood this from the beginning. The key is blind hope, sticktoitiveness, and knowing when to quit.

They would like you to think that what you think of them does not matter. They want...

We fully agree when it comes to R&D, more money needs to be put there so that consumers see more direct financial benefits. People really are not interested in what is good for them in the long term,...

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. How do you think that we can 'cure' that?

Well what I am looking at now is finding away to induce the innovation required for electric cars to take off. I honesty think that they meet peoples needs really well right now, but electric cars...

So guys, we know that there is a ton of land in the city that needs to be leveled. Old houses, old factories, etc.

Could some things be done on some of this land to help increase demand so we are...

When was the 50mpg standard created?
But anyway, as you said this is not achievable without a big push into electric and hydrogen fueled cars. I could only find three cars from the big three...

DC looses less power over long distances. AC would be used for local, but DC would be used in transferring energy across states.

Ok so then should we be pushing 'the big three' into producing more 'attractive/affordable/efficient' electric cars? I think that needs to happen in tandem with the grid being upgraded because a...

1) I think that innovations in electric vehicles will follow an upgraded local electrical grid. "The big three" will end up following suit, its something that they need to say relevant.
2) There is...

Oops, my bad. I didn't mean to say DC.

I know the difference, I just miss wrote it as DC and not AC.

So the vision is about making Detroit the first major northern city to enable widespread use of electric cars and that the best time now for Detroit to ‘rise up’.

I am currently working with a...

'
I want to make that dream a reality, for you and everyone else in the city.

Spending money to fix schools, fix the crime rate, bring people out of poverty, and fixing the infrastructure are...

I'll bet every single person on this forum wants to help the city rebound.

It is going to be very hard, people are going to fight it.

Don't back down, don't loose faith.

Yes there is still innovation that needs to happen. I don't have all the answers, I want to rebuild the city. I'll bet you would love to as well. Don't loose faith.

The idea is to prepare Detroit for an electric future with a new electric based infrastructure [[i.e. a new electric grid... potentially). I don't have all the answers yet, I want to raise a group of...
