This does NOTHING for the “climate”. In fact, it makes it worse if you look at the total energy picture. These people are morons.

Does that include tanks and personnel carriers? How about line ships.

I think carriers and subs are already, technically, electric in that the nuke plant makes steam and turns turbines with power motors, but not sure about that.

Icebreakers, at least the ones I was on, had gas turbines going to reduction gears for multiyear ice, and diesel-electric motors for cruising and light ice.

Meanwhile....Chicoms are moving into Africa and South America for rare earth.

Afghanistan apparently has huge lithium reserves.

I heard a knowledgeable guy on the radio one night who did a great job explaining that overall the EVs use more energy than gas cars. This included just the extra energy required to build the batteries.

Of course they are morons. They're democRATS.

They better start cranking up the fossil fuel coal fired generating plants to provide enough electricity to run this new fleet.

Because in reality, electric cars are coal powered cars.

Watch this short 5 minute video clip from Pragar University about how electric cars are really worse for the environment versus gas fueled ones.

Are Electric Cars Really Green? NO!
