Video: San Francisco Giants Parade Celebrates World Series Win

Fans crowded San Francisco streets, climbed trees and craned their necks to get a view of the 2012 world champion Giants.

Before the sun came up Wednesday, a light rain coated the streets of San Francisco, along with thousands of people lining more than a mile of police barricades. 

Those fans soon multiplied in numbers, as an estimated 1 million people celebrated the San Francisco Giants' second World Series championship in three years.

Watch the video for a gimpse of today's parade, which featured current and past players, dignitaries, AT&T Park employees and more.

And as for this "Green" nonsense, keep in mind that when that electric vehicle was…Read More manufactured, pollution was generated, some of it toxic like how those tires were made, the brakes, even the hydraulic systems and the lubricants and coolants used--and then there are those batteries. And despite that, the vehicle still is not done polluting, especially when it needs electricity and that the power generation itself is going to be where the pollutants for this vehicle will come from while you are using it. Like my car and every other car out there, yours does have a tailpipe, just that it is not attached to the car, itself. And then comes the disposal of worn-out parts and even when the rechargeable batteries need to be replaced, all that selenium or in some cases even lead is going to require its own kind of disposal so that these do not harm the environment around them, because if they get released, they are toxic to most carbon-based life out there.

If you want charging stations put up, then you should pay to put them up. The rest of us don't want…Read More to give people who drive electric vehicles the "free ride", especially as their fees for their own cars go up as Alameda County institutes their $20/year surcharge for vehicles registered in the county. I know one thing, if I had a charging station set up for people to charge their electric vehicles, I would be charging those people money for charging their cars at my station. The electricity your car may use to keep its battery charged will ultimately be paid for by somebody else under the scheme of "public" charging stations. It costs money to generate electricity and you should be paying for that electricity wherever and whenever you charge up, plain and simple, since you use that electricity and should be both paying for it and paying taxes on it like the rest of us. Perhaps treating charging stations like parking meters should be the solution, even for the owners of businesses downtown, who may not like the idea of paying for your electricity usage to your vehicle and may view somebody asking them to do that as a "freeloader" or a "parasite", much as I view them when they ask for more charging stations.
