Breitbart ^ | 31Aug | Pollack

Posted on 09/01/2022 6:27:47 AM PDT by qaz123

California will suffer an energy shortage and “Flex Alerts” through Labor Day due to high temperatures, and residents will be asked to conserve electricity during afternoons and evenings, which means refraining from charging electric vehicles, among other uses.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ....

Don’t worry, one day you’ll be able to buy the batteries off the shelf in Home Depot or Ace Hardware and you’ll be able to circumnavigate the place, 3 times, on one charge.

Yet these California lunatics closed one nuclear power plant and are about to close a second. The place needs to be de populated.

They rely on chaos confusion distraction and anger to get what they want. Great way to do business.

Every EV should have two hitches, a front one to turn it into a donkey cart, as you noted. And a back one to pull a generator in areas where animals on the road are illegal.

I foresee a cottage industry sprouting for we rednecks. Install an in-bed gas tank and portable generator in the back of our trucks. Open a website for roadside charging. Make roadside charging calls for a nominal fee, lol 😂!!!

Just wait for the day when everyone is driving EV. Your driving will be monitored by some progressive who will only allow you to drive when you “need” to, not when you want to.

This is what happens when following the rantings of a retarted and abused Swedish teenager that plays hooky instead of learning real science. Californian look up to this retard because she is their intellectual superior.

That’s donkey abuse. The batteries in EVs are so heavy that they will need a mule train.

That’s what gas generators are for.“

If you live in Ca you better already have one because they just banned new ones.

There’s a video somewhere in cyberspace. Woman is brimming with pride over EVs and saving the planet.

When asked how they’re charged, she responds that you just plug them into the wall. Completely unaware of where the electricity comes from.

No choices remain. Like herding swine into narrower and narrower walkways on the way to the slaughterhouse, the line finally gets down to a single file, and the pig no longer has opportunity to turn around or even stop.

Then the pig is in the kill line, soon to be carved up into chops, roasts, ribs, bacon, shoulders, and hams.

The CA Treehuggers have killed every power generation project for the past 30 years. That bird’s come home to roost and he’s one big sonofabitch! I hope they’re happy now.

A lot of ignorant people are about to learn the hard reality that a battery is not a generator. A battery doesn’t generate electricity; it only provides the limited amount it can store ... then it’s just a block of metal (and other inert “stuff”).

Gee won’t life be super duper special when we are all ordered not to charge our vehicles, light our furnaces to keep from feezing to death, or use our air conditioners to keep from dying from heat stroke in the rapi ly aplroaching new world order and social utopia that the left have in store for our planet.

Sorry, now internet today. The electric grid is overwhelmed! Sorry, grocery store closed until further notice due to higher than anticipated electric costs! Sorry if you are suffering heat stroke, (or freezing to death, or starving to death because you chose electricity over food this month) but we all must do our part to save the planet
