Golf Resort Living and Golf Cart For Transportation For Local Shopping

Other cities have modeled their plans around Palm Desert's strategy and it has worked well.

Still, there are reports of golf-cart injuries which have increased over the years, perhaps due to the number of golf clubs and thus golf carts produced. Golf carts can be dangerous suggests one recent study of course anything can be dangerous if it is not used properly.

What about saving Fuel?

Did you know that to fully charge a golf cart costs between $1.80 and $3.00 and that gives you an average of 20-30 miles around town. It's a great way to go, especially if you live close to most of the things that you need in the city. Discouraging the use of Golf Carts in the city is downright evil in my opinion, but some politicians wish to curtail your rights and keep them off the street.

Golf carts not only are safe if used properly, but it is an eco-friendly thing to do. Using golf cart if your city permits is an American thing to do, voting with your life-style to remove the dependence on foreign oil. I think it's wonderful and recommend it, but everyone must decide for themselves.

Many folks just love the idea of having an electric car, in fact, they'd like all cars, trucks, and buses to be electrically powered, along with all bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles. But wait I say, what about my electric golf cart which I often cruise to Starbucks in? You see, golf carts are street legal in my town of Palm Desert, CA - and I like many residents here take full advantage of this little known fact.

Not long ago, I was talking with an acquaintance from Sweden whose friends work at a local Volvo factory there. I was told that Volvo was planning on making more models of hybrids and electric vehicles in the future. We talked about how wonderful it would be if all cars were electric. And I said; "well, if they figure out the battery deal, then I am with you, but look at the cost of lithium and REEs right now, that not a good deal."

My acquaintance said; "You are right it is way too expensive, but due to the fact that not enough are being produced I guess?" Surely, that's correct, but there is more to it than that really, you see, China is hoarding REEs or Rare Earth Elements for their in-country manufacturers. Other nations now also want to get in on it and artificially raise prices, same as the Oil Cartel. Indeed, these alternative energy entrepreneurs, corporations, and the nation-states with the raw materials are hardly saints.

They see money and dollar signs written all over the alternative energy sector and green-propulsion systems which are to be our future transportation by way of global mandate in the name of climate change. And unfortunately, it seems everyone in the supply chain is working to manipulate things. Perhaps you noted recently what happened with the EU carbon-trading corruption case which actually caused the halting of carbon credits?

Some have contended that it is much more diabolical here in the US and claim that we basically have a few billionaires trying to wrestle the energy sector from the incumbents, Big Oil, Coal, etc.
