The current electric rate in California is on average 46 cents. Calculate that in addition to the average $40,000 buy in for an EV. I don't need a new car and the one I have will last me for the next 20 years. At 65 I'm not going to buy into the yet to be properly developed EV. For EV's, there are 2 big problems facing them - the production of electricity and the production of batteries. Both currently, are very dirty, inefficient, and destructive to the environment. 37% of electrical generation is from Natural gas. Natural gas is a hydrocarbon mixture consisting primarily of saturated light paraffins such as methane and ethane, both of which are gaseous under atmospheric conditions. The mixture also may contain other hydrocarbons, such as propane, butane, pentane, and hexane. 15% is from Coal. Burning coal produces environmentally harmful emissions. These include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, carbon dioxide, mercury, and other heavy metals. These emissions can contribute to acid rain, smog, respiratory illnesses, lung disease, and global warming. 19% is from nuclear power plants - we all know the environmental impact of these. The remaining 29% is generated by wind, solar, and hydropower. Wind generators present their own unique environmental hazards which includes lithium-ion batteries as are also used in solar generators in addition to the solar panels themselves. The environmental impact associated with the production of lithium-ion batteries: Mining The extraction of lithium, cobalt, and nickel for lithium-ion batteries is energy-intensive and can cause environmental degradation, water depletion, and contamination. Mining often takes place in countries with poor environmental and human rights standards, and can disrupt habitats, pollute, and lead to worker poisonings and child labor. The mining process also requires large diesel trucks and fossil-fuel-powered refineries, which emit carbon dioxide and contribute to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Disposal Improper disposal of lithium-ion batteries can release toxic heavy metals into the environment, which can harm human health in the long term. Lithium-ion batteries can also overheat and catch fire if exposed to high temperatures or penetrated, releasing carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide. The environmental impact associated with the production of solar panels: Waste Solar panels can contain hazardous heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and silver. When they break, they become hazardous waste and can only be transported at certain times and along specific routes. The solar industry is working to reduce waste by extending the lifespan of panels, recycling components, and finding alternatives to certain materials. Land use Large solar installations can cover thousands of acres of land that could be used for housing or agriculture. These installations can also alter the landscape, which can impact plants and animals, surface temperatures, and sun exposure. The environmental impact of hydropower electricity generation: Hydropower can harm fish populations, change water temperature and flow, and force people and animals to relocate. Dams and reservoirs can also obstruct fish migration. Some say that exposure to methylmercury from hydroelectric projects can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and neurodevelopmental delays in children. So, while the liberals rant and rave about the carbon footprint of burning fossil fuels in automobiles, using electricity, at the present time, does very little to reduce the overall environmental impact associated with personal, commercial, and military transportation. The technology to produce clean and low cost electricity needs to come first, not the vehicles to be powered by it. It is the old putting the cart before the horse - it doesn't work. Cheap environmentally friendly electrical generation is possible but the obstacles to develop such are immense. The profit governed corporations and those whose wealth depends on these profits, have blocked all technological breakthroughs that threaten the stability of their growing wealth from super-efficient combustion technologies to low-to-no-cost electrical generation. The best current alternative to using fossil fuels for combustion engines is ethanol. Ethanol can be efficiently produced from high-yield rapid-growth plants and other organic materials. While one of the byproducts of burning ethanol is CO2, this can be mitigated to marginalize its environmental impact. The best long-term solution is electricity but the generation, storage, and distribution of it needs to be advanced well beyond what is currently in place for it to reasonably replace the combustion engine.

I gave you’re a Polaris fan but what was it like? 19 recalls is that quality only 22 alpha and I’m never had a problem with it ever ever not recalls or lines so the fact Polaris is nice but what I was at the Polaris shop name her fixing 127 slidesl a day And if you look at any of the black cat riders they can go places you never ever went with your fucking 9R our boost never the truth

You mentioned your dad hunted unit 1 last year muzzleloader and maybe a podcast, have you done the podcast yet where can I find it, I have one of the 2 archery tags for this year 2024

Great discussion. I live in Tahoe at 6,000 elevation and will be riding up to 10,000. You’ve helped me decide. It will have to be the boost. Thanks for the help.

Sooooo beautiful

Big boi ❤️❤️❤️

Wow ❤

Thankyou for this ❤❤❤

Almost looks like a black-brown bear mix

Beautiful!!!

Будь здоров , МИШЕНЬКА ! ! !

My bear of the same size and color will NOT get off the floor in front of our fireplace.

I like his cinnamon ears. They really stand out against his dark brown coat.

i can't find a used trail sled anywhere near me.all there are for sale used are mountain sleds which does me no good because i live on a huge lake and am surrounded by trails and forest service roads,so i guess i'm buying new.there is fuck all online about entry level trail sleds,unless i plan to buy the baddest machine out there i'm sol on finding the right budget/entry level full size sled.

i'm 57 years old and am looking to getting into a snowmobile instead of tracking my new side by side.had tracks on my previous one and had a blast with them.i bought a house on a 17 kilometer long lake so that's where i plan to learn the basics.we have hunderds of kilometers of forest service roads and snowmobile trails that aren't groomed.now i just have to pick the right sled,a crossover or a dedicated trail.leaning towards a backcountry x.most of the guys in my atv club are avid sledders,so i will be using that resource.

Neither one of these dudes didn't know nothing about nothing.They kept stuttering again.They don't know nothing to give a true advice any truck

Need a life time of points to draw those units. I would rather hunt every couple yrs on a good unit vrs waitin. There r big bulls in units u discussed but not the type to wait 25 yrs 4.

Yes, sub-adult Bald eagle. Beautiful bird either way.

Nice camera, nice microphone, nice backdrop, and nice clothes... does this mean you have the qualifications to give snowmobile suspension advice... by the things you say, my opinion is no... youtube sucks because anybody think they are qualified to give advice... go to a suspension shop and talk to someone who actually has EXPERIENCE in snowmobile suspension... I personally endorse Ian @Monster Performance...After this video, I have more questions than answers now...

Like the conversation Friend and family have hunted up there since the mid 70s . I'm always trying to keep up with the regulations but yes I am getting stumped ? Points and no points we have always drawn some tags this year nope !

Nice one guys! Next elk video can you talk about preference points and how to go about getting enough for those units

Gas. If you’re buying a new vehicle, get one with a tank that holds more than stock!

We are fully behind EVs and see things quite differently than you do about how fast this is going. However, I think you guys did a great job of laying out a point of view that needs to be listened to. We'll tune in again.

For Colorado just pull up CoTrex it lists tons of trails and is very user friendly. For more overlanding look up the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route aka IDBDR. Tons of people start north and work their way south. Also look at Arizona’s BDR route but some areas may exclude UTV’s down there.

Sounds like you should have just bought the Polaris expedition

German Shepherd goes with me too. For super stealth, rode with IR lights on rig and NODs. Amazing experience.

Let me know what you guys think, what side by side do you prefer?

Facts

Drove DB5 like steering a fast load of pork.😀

No. Those transmissions were not co-developed. They are unrelated. Dummies. The half ton 10-spds, yes. The HD’s not at all. Get your shti straight.

I've had good service with the Duramax, so I bought a new Duramax..Different Stokes for different folks..what ever gives you the best service..

Not the consumer, with these prices 🤣

Overrated garbage

What about the death wobble on the newer Ford pickups.

If you run out of battery you drag a gas power generator out to you EV? That’s convenient.

Love this content with the trucks! Perfectly ties in with my sledding lifestyle

Glad you made this I’m actually in the market for a new truck and I can’t decide which brand I want. My gut says go with Ford, but my “ fancy” side wants to go towards a Ram. I’m not really interested in Chevy and GMC needs update their interior but the cost of truck now a days is outrageous so I’m stuck on which to choose and who isn’t going to cost me the most on maintenance.

I love my Denali truck.

You guys might want to revisit this in a year. Ram HDs are getting a refresh for ‘25 with 8-spd ZF Powerline transmission. It’s a Raaam, not a Dodge!😂

Fun fact dodge dropped the name dodge in 2009, now they call it a RAM!

Would a Canon R6 M2 be okay for outdoor shooting competitions? 🔫 What other gear would you recommend for that?

lame show... you guys right off the bat went boost and then rambled on for half hr of bullhish

Is the matrix chaos a lot more rowdy than the axis chaos? A lot of other TH-camrs have said the chaos is actually really good at everything just more maneuverable and fun.

Hunting public lands on opening day can be like shopping at the mall on Black Friday. Nevertheless, I enjoy spot & stock and ambush hunting for big game. For this, I take the best backpack spotting scope and binoculars I can afford. I enter an area in stages. First, at the longest distance, I use my spotting scope to pick apart the landscape. As I carefully move into my intended area, I use binoculars to see everything, like a sniper moving through enemy territory. If I spook something, I've lost my advantage.

I want to buy my first sled this summer. Would I be better off buying a summit because of all the problems with Polaris or is it not that big of a deal? I’ve ridden both and I like them both.

What track length would you say is good for northen Sweden?

Love the story and connection, looking forward to the merch

Went 165 for climbing steeper terrain as an amateur with lots of steep stuff to climb. However, next sled will be shorter for those other days. Thanks for your instruction! Your awesome!

Looking forward to seeing the merch! Good luck to you!
