I went through the big freeze in Texas in Feb. 2021, the wind mills froze up, and solar was useless.

Get mad at me but Vivek Ramaswamy was correct, when he stated in the debate, where he stated that fossil fuels are necessary for a prosperity society.

Pretty much

People like Tesla Humper and the fake news will tell you it’s wonderful even though it’s clearly *worse*

“Scientific” American?

Nothing but political propaganda. This whole piece is riddled with “hopeful” statements that we may make advances in the future, some things may become possible, other things are “within the realm of the possible” and basically, gee whiz, wouldn’t it be swell if this all works out for the best?

There is no science here.

Everything will be fine after they knock the worlds’ population back down to 500,000,000. That’ll be around one million people serving each deserving oligarch.

Green energy globalist elites with their absurd policies are promoting poverty, hunger and disease. They hate America, its freedoms and liberties and Americans.

Technology to burn coal with minimal polluting effects should be a priority in energy research. We have plenty of the stuff.

And nuclear must be an important part of the mix, even if it does scare liberal snowflakes.

They already are, and pseudo-Scientific American knows this well. The majority of power charging those electric cars is coming from coal. Period.

.....The Coal Truth: Will the Coming Generation of Electric Cars Just Be Coal-Burners, Once Removed?.....

YES!!!!

EVs are unnecessary, dangerous, and WAY too expensive. They should be banned. Politicians who want to require them, and/or to ban meat and dairy should also be banned from office forever!!!!

Yes, because it’s just not possible at this time to produce enough power from the Sun or wind. Battery technology is not able to solve the problem of the need for power regardless of the weather.

But the politicians are messing things up royally. They are fanatical about forcing us to drive EVs, and at the same time are destroying the supply of “fossil” fuels.

If the politicians are allowed to have their way, we are in for impossibly high energy costs and severe limitations on our ability to go places. (But the ruling elite will go to climate conferences in their multiple limousines and private jets.)

First EV’s are incredibly inefficient. Due to battery and power losses. 2nd they are chemical polluters. And before long they will be chemical polluters on a grand scale.

In my opinion emissions shot out of a massive cannon into the atmosphere are 10X worse than the same amount of emissions dispersed out of millions of tailpipes on roads.

Coal burners will be expensive. There's an additional toll to pay when you burn coal.

The electric car will not compete against the best invention that man ever came up with and that is the combustion engine.

Nuclear power is the obvious answer. Replace the 1950s regulations with 2025-lite regulations for safety and go full steam. A plant Vogle and a power plant of a sub every year to infinity.

Of course you and VR are correct. The only ones who believe that solar/wind are anything but virtue signaling are the politicos getting rich off kickbacks from the CCP and the NPC’s who support them.

Any civilization needs baseload — which is why the WEF is killing it. Peasants are easier in the dark and it is easier to convert their children to slaves.
