Shock of the old: Believe it or not, battery-powered vehicles
have been around since Victorian times.
The history of the electric car is surprisingly enraging. If you
imagine early electric vehicles at all (full disclosure: I didn’t until
recently), it will probably be as the quixotic and possibly dangerous
dream of a few eccentrics, maybe in the 1920s or 1930s, when
domestic electrification became widespread. It’s easy to imagine
some stiff-collared proto-Musk getting bored of hunting and
affairs, eyeing his newly installed electric lights speculatively, then
wreaking untold havoc and mass electrocutions. The reality is
entirely different.
By 1900, a third of all cars on the road in the US were electric;
we’re looking at the history of a cruelly missed opportunity, and it
started astonishingly early. The Scottish engineer Robert Anderson
had a go at an electric car of sorts way back in the 1830s, though
his invention was somewhat stymied by the fact rechargeable
batteries were not invented until 1859, making his crude carriage
something of a one-trick pony (and far less useful than an actual
pony).
It’s debatable whether or not Scotland was ready for this brave
new world anyway: in 1842, Robert Davidson (another Scot, who
had, a few years earlier, also tried his hand at an electric vehicle)
saw his electric locomotive Galvani “broken by some malicious
hands almost beyond repair” in Perth. The contemporary
consensus was that it was attacked by railway workers fearful for
their jobs.
Despite this unpromising start, electric vehicles had entered
widespread commercial circulation by the start of the 20th
century, particularly in the US. Electric cabs crisscrossed
Manhattan, 1897’s bestselling US car was electric and, when he
was shot in 1901, President McKinley was taken to hospital in an
electric ambulance. London had Walter Bersey’s electric taxis, and
Berlin’s fire engines went electric in 1908; the future looked bright,
clean and silent.
By the 1930s, however, the tide had definitively turned against
electric, cursed by range limitations and impractical charging times
while petrol gained the upper hand thanks partly – and ironically –
to the electric starter motor. The Horseless Age magazine, which
vehemently backed the petrol non-horse, would have been
delighted. There was a brief resurgence of interest in the late
1960s, when the US Congress passed a bill promoting electrical
vehicle development, but nothing much actually happened until
the Nissan Leaf sparked interest in 2009. Electric still isn’t quite
there yet, battling infrastructure and battery problems that might
have been familiar to Anderson and friends.

The phrase “wreaking […] havoc” (1st paragraph) is similar in meaning to:
Los últimos días del sitio de Tenochtitlán
Y todo esto pasó con nosotros.
Nosotros lo vimos,
nosotros lo admiramos.
Con esta lamentosa y triste suerte
nos vimos angustiados.
En los caminos yacen dardos rotos,
los cabellos están esparcidos.
Destechadas están las casas,
enrojecidos tienen sus muros.
Gusanos pululan por calles y plazas,
y en las paredes están salpicados los sesos.
Rojas están las aguas, están como teñidas,
y cuando la bebimos,
es como si bebiéramos agua de salitre.

Diversas organizações da sociedade civil organizada peticionaram ao governador do estado Alfa solicitando que fossem adotadas as medidas necessárias para a decretação de intervenção estadual no município Beta. A solicitação decorria do fato de, há três exercícios financeiros, não serem prestadas as contas devidas, conforme prescrito em lei.
Ao consultar o procurador-geral do estado em relação à possibilidade, ou não, de ser decretada a intervenção almejada, foi corretamente informado ao chefe do Poder Executivo que:
O mercado procura por empresas sustentáveis, que demonstram
preocupação com o uso sustentável de energia.
Dentro desse contexto, edificações podem atestar sua eficiência
energético por meio da obtenção do selo Procel.
Nesse contexto, assinale a opção que indica um parâmetro a ser
atendido por uma edificação para obter o Selo A Procel.
