Good morning Kirk, Today we are in a heat wave 45 degrees, but Friday and Saturday the evening will dip into. the 20's They have stayed nice and toasty, I'm optimistic my design has past the test. I've cleaned an area for storage in the attic, for future use. Jan and I will be returning to Houston February 13th and my neighbor will plug the light bulbs back in if it get below 35 in between. Taking a day off today and going to visit friends and employees of the dealership I'm still part owner of. With regard te the EV's not working in the cold, if that condition occurred in an ICE, there would be a class action lawsuit to the maker. Once again we have our politicians to blame for their over support and hype of a plan that did not consider the unintended consequences of a half baked plan. Some day they'll learn that supporting free market demand is what they should hitch their horse to. Free money for housing to those without good credit or substantial down payment is the sauce that cooked us up the Great Financial Crisis. Now we have cooked up climate numbers mandating us all to buy ineffective EV on a national basis. All along we throw money we don't have to the public as incentives to buy vehicles that don't work across our large and diverse country. It almost seems as though they and their ever increasing need for money, (with which they remain in power) cause them to get behind the next scheme of the next election cycle, from which they obtain funds from. It may well be a good thing we are loaded up to the hilt with debt! Then they'll go after more taxes and soak the wealthy - not good either. Who do they think creates the capital for investment and wealth creation? Sigh. Bob
