Electric Vehicles are a solution for a problem we don’t have but now we find out EVs are the problem
Good metaphor.
Or metafur, as Zell Miller would have said.
Love the title. It is so true
Electricity is going to be the unobtainium of the 21st century.
Cars dead on the side of the road with billions of metric tons of cheap energy 10 meters underneath their wheels.
It stuns me, that the enviro extremists don’t see the big picture.
They say they want an electric car, so they can drive a pollution free car.
But they never consider that in many places, that car is recharged from electricity generated in “fossil fuel” power plants. And they never consider the mining of minerals needed to manufacture the batteries. And they never consider the toxic waste problems involved with disposing of old batteries.
It may seem obvious to us, but, electricity doesn’t come from an electric outlet in the wall. Electricity has to be generated somewhere. And in many places, fossil fuel power plants generate the electricity to power the electric car.
I wonder how many EV owners with buyers remorse left their cars to flood during Ian in order to collect the insurance money...
A guy on twitter said a female alien told his father that an Age of Peace was coming.
I responded "not as long as humans are involved. Humans are aggressive, we like a good fight."
Same thing applies to EVs. If someone can develop a loud, smoke-belching behemoth that runs on electricity, it might have a chance at success. But these little whiney vehicles? No way. Even if they can outrun a Bugatti.
I notice that all ev commercials show the ev driving into the mountains or forest where charging is not available. So let’s assume we buy an EV in LA and drive it to the desert for a day of fun. We tow a trailer with our electric recreation vehicles. We drive the 100 miles to the desert and ride all day till our batteries run out. Push them back on the trailer and head home. Maybe we get there but more likely we find we have to locate a charger half way home. Now our day of fun has turned into 18 hours...6 of those charging our car or truck. We get home at 2 am so we can charge our car and commute to work starting at 6 in the morning. Sounds like fun to me...

NO!!!!! There is a big difference.
Veggie burgers are cheaper than real burgers.
EV’s cost double of gasoline cars.
It didn’t take long for TexasGator to get on here and defend EVs till his fingers cramp up on his keyboard.
Standby everyone. You’re all about to get edumacated.

Wish it was “electric cars are the Fen-phen of cars”
Just to keep the record straight, Burger King used to serve a very good vegi Burger based partly on mushrooms and walnuts. I ordered them all the time, and they were delicious, especially with cheese. They dropped this wonderful offering when they introduced the Impossible Burger, which was horrendously, even impossibly bad. It’s a shame if they don’t bring back their original vegi burger menu, but I don’t expect it to happen.
One can eat a veggie burger with no ill effects.
But electric car batteries can blow up at any time!!!!
