    Very simply put without all the scientific data.... Switching to grid electricity instead of gasoline gives us a chance to switch how the energy is produced. You can't make a more environmentally friendly gasoline but you can source electricity from renewables as cost and tech improves over time.

    No matter how you look at it, it's a step forward. The side step or trade one for one argument is old and promoted by oil industries.

    pssst....here is a hint...

    The United States solar energy market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.32% during 2020-2025


    Also, despite what you were promised 4 years ago....coal....is NOT going to "make a YUGE comeback...the biggest the world has ever seen".

    My thought on forums is that you can learn just about everything you really needed to know with respect to the original topic within the first page.

    I am still undecided if I want my stock gemini powder coated or not... Getting delivery on Dec 12. I'm Gonna decide when I see it in person. It's hard to decide based on photos

    Thank you for a lively discussion.

    Before accepting delivery, I was dead-set on removing the caps and powder-coating the wheels black. But after taking delivery, it doesn't bother me at all so I'm keeping them on and saving myself a few hundred bucks.

    You can also Plasti-dip rather than powder coat. It is less permanent and would give you a decent idea of the look.

    I’m not sure what color wheels to go with for my white MY. I’ve seen plenty of blacks both satin or gloss. And I lean towards a dark grey. Anyway, to see the look I plasti dip the passenger side tires.
    (Plasti Dip Luxury Metallic, Selenite Gray)
