We know how ‘green’ the elites really are. Whether it’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg having his bike hauled on a massive government SUV for brief photo ops (a popular fetish for green leaders that’s up there with the Kaiser’s pre=chopped woodpile or Putin’s pre-caught fish) or Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm trying to stage a publicity stunt for electric cars only to get the cops called on her.
Between stops, Granholm’s entourage at times had to grapple with the limitations of the present. Like when her caravan of EVs — including a luxury Cadillac Lyriq, a hefty Ford F-150 and an affordable Bolt electric utility vehicle — was planning to fast-charge in Grovetown, a suburb of Augusta, Georgia.
Her advance team realized there weren’t going to be enough plugs to go around. One of the station’s four chargers was broken, and others were occupied. So an Energy Department staffer tried parking a nonelectric vehicle by one of those working chargers to reserve a spot for the approaching secretary of energy.
That did not go down well: a regular gas-powered car blocking the only free spot for a charger?
In fact, a family that was boxed out — on a sweltering day, with a baby in the vehicle — was so upset they decided to get the authorities involved: They called the police…
Energy Department staff scrambled to smooth over the situation, including sending other vehicles to slower chargers, until both the frustrated family and the secretary had room to charge.
Did the family not realize that the Lada convoy showing off the great accomplishments of our red-green energy manufacturing (leading humanity and the planet back to a dark age) was being driven by the nomenklatura?
Behind the EV convoy facade were actual vehicles doing the dirty work that made the publicity stunt possible. Green remains a hall of mirrors: a set of endless facades reflecting lies, myths and fantasies.
At least the cops did the right thing and supported the citizen.
Question: How is it that government gets to tell us what to buy? Is the USA now a monopoly and public servants get to tell us what to buy?
Are these public servants financially benefiting from these orders.
Are these “unfunded mandates” where we are ordered to buy stuff by government fiat but we can’t write this mandate off our taxes?
Then we have become obedient sheep.
Yeah, I don’t mind when they’re peddling things I want but when they peddle shit, that’s another mater.
And I don’t like it when they tell me what to do and think.
Jeff:
You have to understand when everyone is forced to own an EV, just think of how funny life will be after that. You will have a chance to wait in line to charge your vehicle and be late for work. Don’t worry, the boss won’t mind you being late. You could charge your EV all night in your garage and at the end of the month receive a $400 electric bill. At the same time gasoline will drop to 50 cents a galleon because no one will be driving gasoline powered cars anymore.
Don’t forget, you will pay $60,000 dollars for your EV, have a ten year payment plan at $500 a month. At the end of three or four years, all the batteries will have to be replaced. You will receive a $6,000 bill, but that OK, just charge it to your credit card at 20% interest.
All of this will be Biden’s fault and yet millions will vote for him in 2024. Ain’t America funny.
P.S. I forgot. Don;t drive along the coast , I understand EV have caught fire, if exposed to salt water. A number of people found that out in Florida recently. The joy of owning a EV.
A little humor for the evening.
LOL, all true! And even rain water makes EVs burst into flames.
Yes they absolutely do own stocks and are patent co owners of the companies and products they are mandating us to buy.
Fauci owns stocks in big pharma companies producing the EXPERIMENTAL mRNA death shots and owns part of the patent on the mRNA Covid shot.
Every deadly dose that was taken was $$ in his pocket, and the same for the rest of the genocidal public officials and politicians mandating the poison shots.
Some of the mRNA vaccines were modRNA.
She’s got to be one of the dumbest.
She was the one who was advocating electric tanks.
The dumbest? In this administration? That’s a tough one. There is so much competition.
Dumb, yes. But more importantly: traitors. All of ’em.
Why is that dumb? There will charging stations everywhere and battles will pause for ten hours while the tanks recharge their batteries. Now you’ll have to excuse me. I’m expected back on planet earth.
Why wasn’t the family sent to prison, and the baby aborted as is Jojo Cabbage Brain Biden’s way of doing things?
Ah…the liberal photo op: non-virtuous virtue signalling is at the heart of all things Democrat. Aren’t you glad you spent $70,000 for the Cadillac Lyriq alone for her? Jennifer certainly is.
When the dust finally settles, Americans finally have their say and underwater car companies realize the fiscal error of their ways, American petroleum will once again rule.
I believe Toyota is busy NOT drinking the electric car kool-aid and ramping up to be the leading seller of gasoline powered Automobiles in the US by 2030, The press is vilifying them now, I’m betting that those press words will not be too painful to endure on the road to US brand dominance and financial joy.
That’s a smart strategy 🙂
Are the EV dealers going to start offering “Advance team,” services, for their EVs?
That npr article was dripping cheese. Most of the problems they encounter are from forcing a technology that isn’t ready and isn’t profitable. Over and over they talk of the billions the federal government is “pouring into” it. But if it was good enough, much less better for most people, they wouldn’t have to waste billions on it.
A mall parking lot near me was recently re-tarmacked. I then noticed that a lot of the new tarmac was getting torn up, with tire-track patterns left as “finger prints.” Then, only last week, I learned that electric vehicles are so heavy they tear up roads. Hmm. Their weight also means that if they crash into you they’re more likely to kill or cripple you than a gas guzzler…All for the greater good.
Good point. Heavier vehicles tear up the roads much faster than the linear relation of their weight would indicate.
For example, an increase in axle weight from 18,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds causes 50 percent more damage to the pavement.
