h/t Breitbart; Libertarians rejoice! Thanks to President Biden’s latest climate brainstorm, in the future the US Federal Government will only function within 200 miles of the nearest operational EV charging station, and only when a fully charged EV is available in the car pool.
From the Biden White House;
Leverage the Federal Government’s Footprint and Buying Power to Lead by Example
Consistent with the goals of the President’s Build Back Better jobs and economic recovery plan, of which his clean energy jobs plan is a central pillar, the order directs the federal agencies to procure carbon pollution-free electricity and clean, zero-emission vehicles to create good-paying, union jobs and stimulate clean energy industries.
In addition, the order requires those purchases be Made in America, following President Biden’s Buy American executive order. The order also directs agencies to apply and strictly enforce the prevailing wage and benefit guidelines of the Davis Bacon and other acts and encourage Project Labor Agreements. These actions reaffirm that agencies should work to ensure that any jobs created with funds to address the climate crisis are good jobs with a choice to join a union.

Start with the beast. Then all other presidential transports and vehicles that are used to protect him.
Just armor-up a Tesla, done.
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.
[Curious how they’ll make the F16 run electric.
And the M1A1.]
Well, reaaaaaaaaaaally long extension cords.
Duh.
:)
The new all electric fighters are going to strike fear Into the Chicoms and Iranians not mention the electric aircraft Carriers.
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.
UPS golf carts
What was the name of that automobile plant where John Galt worked?
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.
Great, start with AF1 and the pResidential limo.

Yeah theres some hidden benefits to it
Power grid outage will also take down most gas stations pumps though.
IOWs Coal Powered!
Wonder how far that M-1 Abrams will get on batteries?
