Looks like a cold beer; can’t read any label in the pic. Heh.
At least a piece of the Free Market still functions there.................
Do Americans control their government, or does their government control them?
“sinister”
White Europeans want to screw ‘brown’ people out of fair pricing for fossil fuels.
Exactly how are the people of Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Venezuela supposed to get by in a 100% renewable energy world?
While agreeing with the author's rant, I had to blink at this last sentence. What's on tap in the coming weeks? The Presidential election? Another IPCC conference? Hurricane season?
Do tell.
Shovel ready jobs 2.0.
How much electricity does California import from other states currently?
It’s probably just that heir ‘newness’ has worn off.
When Teslas first came out, spotting one on the road was a unique situation.
Now that they are everywhere, I see them many times a day, and they don’t even cause a raised eyebrow..............
The power utilities don't do that to save the environment. They do it to incentives the EV owners to shift some of the power demand to a time of day that's easier for the power utilities to provide, which is at night.
I have little control of the timing of when my HVAC has to run (whenever I need the house cooler or warmer), when my stove and over run (when I'm hungry), or when my water heater runs (when I use up hot water). But charging an EV can be done at any time from the time you get home that afternoon until the time you leave the next morning (as long as you come home with enough charge to make it to the nearest fast charger in case you all of a sudden have an emergency trip to drive, or have a gas car as a backup). The power utilities have long wanted to shift some of the demand to night when most everything else is off. EV's are a new major demand on the grid, but at least most of the time for local driving it can be done any time of the day that's easier for the utilities.
Reference to the election campaigns I suppose.
Biden may have to backtrack on his “50% by 2030” program...................
Camels, elephants and coolies.....................
Neither.
Globalistas control them all....................
There's no "shifting" going on. This is just an additional power usage to their normal usage that has already existed.
The grids big weakness besides not enough generation to address the large amount of power to charge,all those EVs are the transformers? Current transformers are designed to cool off at night under low demand conditions. Users start charging EVs over night and the transformers never cool down which is a design feature to increase their lifespan. Transformers are going to be like popcorn, POP! POP! When they get destroyed from too much heat for too long…… Nice one DOE!
Yesterday in my small town in southern NH there was a 2 alarm fire. My towns volunteer fire depart and several surrounding towns responded.
The first on the scene found the garage of the home completely engulfed. It could not be saved. They just kept it from spreading.
The story was big news on the local town Facebook page. However, I have yet to hear the cause of the fire. This was an expensive house. Probably over 3500 sq ft. In one of the more expensive neighborhoods in town. They did get the fire out. Although, the garage was a total loss. SO, maybe it was NOT an EV fire.
I literally was just discussing the ability of my local fire department to put out EV fires on Sunday with several volunteers.
Last year I my town...wasn’t even charging....just sitting there:
Homeowner questions EV safety after fire destroys her Nocatee home
A Mercedes Benz loaner car caught fire Wednesday inside the garage
The real question was IF you had to pick from either the 15 year old Honda Civic OR the five year old Tesla 3 for your daughters/sons first car which one would you buy?
Anyone know if the entire fleet of government vehicles, provided to all the federal agents and others, has been replaced with EVs?
Nope......................
