"How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree?)"

With a submachine gun aimed at their temples.

“Grid-Draining Electron Guzzlers And The End Of Driving”

Hard to see how the Democrats can continue to let people drive their electron-guzzlers when old women are freezing to death for lack of money to run their electric heaters.

Something to think about with elections coming up. Is your distaste for Trump and the RINOs enough to cause you to give up ALL forms personal transportation (except, perhaps a bike or a scooter)? If so, then yes, feel free to sit out this election too, and ‘send another message’ to the GOP regarding your anger at them.

...Two days ago, the White House rolled out “the toughest-ever” automobile emissions standards

Can states sue the Federal Government directly? The Court of Supreme Whim has apparently been whittling away at the Bureaucratic State (B. S .) It has slowly been erasing the power of the BS to make up law regardless of what Congress intended or actually wrote into the law.

Give the Court the chance to finally put a stake into the heart of the BS having nameless faceless unelected unaccountable bureaucrats making laws.

Have an Attorney General from a sane State sue the Federal Government over this EV nonsense. Take on the Global Warming scam directly to Court! Put that scam itself on trial! Then sue again because electric cars don't even help this non issue! Stress the point at how far we have come from Congress actually writing the law to BS legislating insanity

Evs are made largely with plastics, rubber, metal, and costly lithium batteries that tend to explode if caught in a flood or for no reason st all sometimes. Plastics and rubber are derived from petroleum, metals mean mining which is not so great for the environment, and combined with the cost and low mileage, it is just not worth it at this point anyway. What I don’t hear about is this: At night most evs will be on charge. That’s millions and millions (if the dems get their way) on charge at the same time. We’re going to need bigger and more power plants, not solar and not wind, they won’t make enough power and are too costly.

Wonder how long those machines will last when bums find out how much copper is in them that can be cut out and sold for scrap.
When I worked in a power plant we were constantly making rounds to check on copper ground wires and thick cables to make sure they had not been cut and stolen. As one construction worker said, a good worker can double his pay by stealing copper.

These 3 and 4 letter government agencies are myopic. All they care about are there own administrative fiefdom. The EPA doesn’t care about power generation capacity needed to meet their dictates. It is like the CARB out in California. Forest managers can’t do controlled burns unless conditions are just right, which they never are. So when they have drought conditions, several millions acres of forest burn.

Also, welcome aboard FR.

Sure, there won’t be enough electricity or the necessary grids to spread it around for all the EVs the gov’t. wants on the road, but whoever said they used any common sense in figuring this out before giving the go ahead for EVs? If a high schooler can figure this out, why can’t one of them replace Jennifer Granholm?

They don’t have to worry about the grid since EV’s get their power from buildings.

According to the mysteriously demolished “Georgia Guidestones”, the right size human population is 500,000,000.

That means killing 94% of the current human population.

“Genocide” doesn’t even properly describe it ...

They want you to walk on a dirt path.

No. They want you to die, and they're quite willing to kill you. See my previous post.

Klaus Schwab has indicated flexibility by stating that he’d be ok with a billion.

Thanks for the welcome. I’m no stranger to FR, been reading posts for years, was once a member, now again, can’t really explain the lapse, but now more than ever I feel I need to make my 2 cents heard.

anyone capable of doing math can figure out an all electric transportation system is a disaster
