Start with the beast. Then all other presidential transports and vehicles that are used to protect him.

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.

Insanity indeed!

NOtice that it specifies that all electricity for the
vehicles must be carbon pollution-free electricity.

Essentially that means that ALL electricity must be
that.

It’s the details that will kill us and they know it.

One winter day with temps around -14 I passed a Chevy Volt that was straining to maintain 45mph. The small lawn mower sized gas engine used to keep the battery charged was screaming to produce enough power to keep the electric motors running and maintain some charge to the battery. A pure battery driven vehicle would have been stalled at the side of the road with its occupants freezing.

And the M1A1.]

Remember when a town in Alaska had their winter festival and someone made a statue of Al Gore out of a block of ice? The invited him to come but only if he drove an electric car (they don’t work in subzero temperatures).

That will cost us, first when they buy them, and second when they sell them for junk six months later.

Insanity.

Nowhere near enough resources to ad government fleets of ev’s to charging stations, much less the electric grids where they will reside.

Being socialist means never having to actually think about what you’re saying.

Yeah theres some hidden benefits to it

Power grid outage will also take down most gas stations pumps though.

Repeat the stories LOUD and OFTEN. Eventually we change the nature of the conversation. They want us to shut up.
