1. Placer County…Sacto, eh? As Rush would say, “For you folks in Rio Linda….”

2. It’s only an environmental disaster when oil, coal or nuclear is involved.

3. meh. growing pains. they said the same kinda schtuff when the IC engine putt putted across the land very late 1800s.

   1. Those aren’t growing pains. This is artificial life support for placenta. When the glorious internal combustion engine was developing it wasn’t because of corporate welfare. FOAD

4. The driver wasn’t, by any chance, listening to this, was he?

   1. Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUwEIt9ez7M

5. Some underground parking lots have banned all electric cars from using the parking and those are just small batteries compared to the big suckers.
   I wonder where all that city center crowd is going to park their E-cars now?
   This E-car thingy has all the signs of being a very well thought plan, right?

   1. Is our society not progressing at a tremendous rate? The American Red Cross will no longer take blood donations for convalescent plasma from those who have taken the “SHOT”. A brave new world is it not? Burning “GREEN” cars. DISEASES that do not exist, and cures that kill. Sure am glad I lived this long.

   2. I wonder where all that city center crowd is going to park their E-cars now?

      Ah, but people laughed at me when I told them I take public transit downtown. I got to where I wanted to go to take care of business and I didn’t have to worry about parking. Now, of course, I don’t have to worry about an electric vehicle going up in flames next to mine.

      Nah, that would be too logical for them.

6. “Truck carrying flammable cargo crashes, cargo catches on fire.”

   Meh. Happens probably once a month with a gasoline tanker somewhere in the country. Spontaneous combustion when just sitting there is a cause for major concern, not so much when a crash happens.

   1. Just a bit toxic.

7. Electric vehicles have their market niche, and as such, accidents like this will happen. Who cares? …other than a few Karens.

   1. No they don’t have a niche, none would be bought or sold had it not been for corporate welfare. The only good use for them is to drive over cyclists until they both catch fire.

8. Charges pending.

   1. Pun intended?

9. “I love the smell of (burning) lithium in the morning.”
