Nissan Leaf $18,000 (after rebates) +Kia Rio (gas) $20,000 = $38,000 or a Subaru Outback = $38,000 two for the price of one!

Considered it, but they need to get cheaper. My neighbor has an EV and he pays far less to charge it than I pay for gas.

What they neglect to tell people is that it causes more pollution creating the batteries for electric cars then what were already causing. These electric cars are not the awnser to our problems. Engines don't run on liquid gas they run off the fumes that it creates they can fix it but they won't!

Riiiight, because finding and extracting petroleum, refining it into gasoline, transporting it, and burning it is completely pollution free, LOL,

Charging them & keeping them charged has become an issue with recent cold weather.

Wouldn't have one. Not enough charging stations, it loses mileage distance in cold weather, and the batteries can catch fire. No thank you! Would consider a hybrid but never an all-electric car.

Far too many children are being forced into slave labor just so idiots can say they are being good citizens of the planet.

Absolutely NOT. That is going in the wrong direction and is going to be more of a problem than a help. It is ludacris and not viable. Global warming is a hoax, from the corrupt left. The Earth has been cooling and warming on and of for thousands of years! I do not like E V's!!!

What a scam. If everyone went to E Vehicles, we wouldn't have the power generating capacity to service them. Check out the amp draw on elec vehicles and figure it out. Guess we could build more nuke and coal plants to make up the difference.

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.
