$50,000 electric car or $45 carbon filter

[First77]

I am very skeptical about the real effect of the filter on cars emissions, I mean, this carbon dioxyde can be filtered and kept somewhere but it cannot be destroyed so simply just with a $45 filter or we would have no more global warming problem if it was that simple, it seems like a scam to me but maybe it help a little bit. Anyone knows how it could really work ?

carbon dioxide in filters will be like ash from wood fire. Ash is good fertilizer for plants and trees.

Teslas may produce as much CO2 as gasoline powered cars

Touted by some as the planet’s greenest vehicles, electric Teslas may be as bad for the environment as traditional petrol and diesel cars, the latest research reveals.According to researchers at the UK-based climate data provider Engaged Tracking, the production of Tesla cars, as well as fossil fuel-powered plants used for generating electricity to charge the vehicles produce nearly the same amount of emissions that conventional engines do.

“The annual emissions of a UK car is 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide, based on an average of 7,800 miles a year,” the research firm’s chief analyst Jonathan Harris told The Sunday Times. “Both the Tesla Model S vehicles we analyzed have the same emissions as an ordinary petrol car of 1.5 tons of CO2 per year.”The researcher also compared Tesla Model S to the BMW i3, which is smaller and produces an annual emission equivalent of 1.3 tons of CO2, making it 15 per cent more efficient than the Tesla Model S.

According to Tesla, the comparison between the Model S and an average car was not fair, because the Tesla was much larger. The company said that the BMW i3 should be compared to its smaller car - the Model 3, while Model S should compete with such a vehicle as the Mercedes S-Class S500. Tesla claims Mercedes produces nearly 300 percent more emissions than its Model S. “It makes no sense to compare Model S to the average annual emissions figure for cars in the UK, because that average includes a lot of smaller models that are dissimilar to Model S,” the company said as quoted by the media. “'Any fair analysis shows that electric vehicles like Model S and Model 3 generate far less CO2 per mile than any comparable gas-powered car.”

Why did you just copy and paste the exact same post you did in the first reply to this thread? I must say that this is a great point though. The production of electric vehicles definitely takes a toll on the environment, just as the production of any vehicle. You also have to take into account the fact that with an electric car you also have a huge battery to dispose of when you're done with it. In most parts of the world it's funny to buy an electric car to "save the environment", then charge it with electricity that what produced in fuel-powered plants. Over time renewable energy will become more widespread across the whole world and production will become more advanced. Although, at present, electric cars are not the answer to all the earths problems, I think it's a good step in the right direction. I don't know much about carbon filters, but if it'll really help you emit less CO2, sounds like an okay idea, though I won't how much carbon is emitted by creating the filters and transporting them to you.

Tech giants like Tesla, Uber, or Spotify are making less and less profit at the moment and experts are worried about their impact on the world. Are we seeing a new economic bubble in the making? RT’s Daniel Bushel finds out.
American tech corporations are often making headlines nationwide and internationally, although their own performance is far from perfect. They lose more and earn less, and experts warn of a potential “bubble” looming in the horizon.

Tesla, Elon Musk’s flagship company, is worth more than Ford or GM, but produces only a small number of cars. Spotify, a music streaming service, as well as Uber, are losing billions of dollars every year.

It is all about the game and how you play it.

No it isn't about the game and how you play it.

It's about a completely fraudulent device that does nothing, which is alleged to do very specific things, by some people seeking investment capital.

It works for 4 weeks?

Eigth grade chemistry will show this is false. Look only at the purported chemical reactions, then to the molar volume of gasoline, the output molar volume of CO2, and the amount of NAOH....
