Does this mean fake solar panel vinyl wraps will become a thing? -- MP4VT2004 07/05/2019 12:46PM
I seem to remember top gear doing a thing on a Fisker EV that had them ** -- VermontHokie 07/05/2019 09:06AM
Wasn't done in the past likely because solar panels weren't efficient -- Tafkam Hokie 07/05/2019 08:22AM
I would think the increase to the sticker price was a factor also -- MAHokie69 07/05/2019 08:35AM
I bet they get 100 MPG -- bigbadbird 07/05/2019 08:16AM

The ethanol boom was because it had to replace an emissions -- MEHOKIE 07/06/2019 07:53AM
What somebody changed a policy to help their ability to make money? -- Vtskier1 07/05/2019 09:58AM
Not TIC, but like most policy decisions, short sighted and opportunistic -- Vienna_Hokie 07/05/2019 12:31PM
And I'm not even sure it created more energy... -- `lag 07/05/2019 08:42AM
Agreed, production costs plus conversion to usable energy -- Vienna_Hokie 07/05/2019 09:03AM
Probably increased food costs temporarily ** -- bigbadbird 07/05/2019 09:18AM
Not dramatically, probably had more impact on liquor than food -- Vienna_Hokie 07/05/2019 09:48AM
From a 30,000 ft view, never made much sense to me to -- Tafkam Hokie 07/05/2019 09:48AM
Are you sure about the tradeoff in the production? I don't know, but I'm -- jmanatVT 07/05/2019 10:44AM
The distilling process to convert the grain to fuel is a sinkhole -- Vienna_Hokie 07/05/2019 12:16PM
I don't know the exact numbers -- Tafkam Hokie 07/05/2019 12:07PM
Yep, the market didn't decide that, pols did -- Vienna_Hokie 07/05/2019 09:53AM
It's not just tax money redistribution schemes, it's accounting for impacts -- jmanatVT 07/05/2019 10:50AM
Depends on your definition of the market -- Vienna_Hokie 07/05/2019 12:25PM
I doubt it is "corruption" per se -- Tafkam Hokie 07/05/2019 12:15PM
God knows what crash repair costs would be. Insurance company would cringe. ** -- Stork 07/05/2019 08:13AM
Insurance companies don’t care because they will pass that cost along. ** -- Hoakie82 07/05/2019 11:01AM
Pass it along to the guy owning that car. ** -- Stork 07/05/2019 11:10AM
Exactly right. They are only insuring value. ** -- Hoakie82 07/05/2019 3:10PM
The electronics packages now already get repair costs quickly into "silly" ** -- Hokie Bird 94 07/05/2019 10:47AM
Probably not too bad. Just pop off the panel and attach another. -- EDGEMAN 07/05/2019 08:14AM
I think the question is what happens to a hood mounted solar panel when a -- 81_Hokie 07/05/2019 09:04AM
Well cell phones are banned so no more rear enders ** -- fordham 07/05/2019 11:33AM
How do the hold up to hail and small meteorites? ** -- TomTurkey 07/05/2019 10:23AM
But something that incurs extra repair costs also incurs extra -- PhotoHokieNC 07/05/2019 09:47AM
