Why would anyone believe these people can control temperatures, sea levels, and storm activity forever?

The people who say they can control the climate forever if we are forced to buy EVs and give up a lot of other stuff somehow can't figure out how to have AM radio stations without interference from electric vehicles.
 
Look here:
AM radios are being phased out of electric vehicles by automakers including BMW, Volkswagen, Mazda, and Tesla due to interference issues from electric engines. Ford, a significant player in the American auto industry, plans to take things a step further and eliminate AM from every one of its vehicles.
But of course, they will be able to run them without a driver.
 
Does anyone think they can solve all economic and environmentally harmful issues related to electric vehicles? Here is some information about electric vehicles that the complicit media will not be allowed to see. This information is as censored as the stories showing Biden family corruption.
 
1. America’s electric grid already “faces a capacity shortfall.
2. During electric capacity shortfalls, or blackouts, EVs can’t be charged.
3. Rural areas lack charging infrastructure, causing EV advocates to refer to them as “charging deserts.”
4. The large battery packs required to power EVs make them 33 percent heavier than internal combustion engine vehicles. "I am concerned about the increased risk of severe injury and death to all road users from heavier curb weights" warns U.S. National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy.
5. “Thermal runaway” can cause intense and unpredictable battery fires in EVs, exposing first responders to both heat and electrical hazards.
6. When EV batteries burn (OR COMBUST), they are extremely difficult to extinguish. Texas firefighters used 40 times more water to douse a burning Tesla than they would have used extinguishing a regular ICE

I love people who say we need solar power and electric cars. The business model doesn’t work.

You drive your car during the day and change it at night when the sun is not shining. It’s that simple.

Democrats have a plan for the issue of EVs getting stuck with no charge or no electricity from the grid...

When driving, EVs must have attached a trailer carrying two horses.

When at home and the electric grid is not producing enough power, those horses can be put to use on a treadmill which creates electricity to charge the EV.

The number one reason is they all never learned anything is school. They were too busy determining which genitals they wanted and after that, they started getting “extra credit” for walking out of class and “protesting” like a bunch of morons. The bozos not only wanted to “change da world”, they wanted to change their sex and skin color.

They think they are God. These types of people do not have a standard greater than man. Inanimate, soulless objects such as Mother Gaia are not suitable standards, they are idols. Commandments 1 & 2 do have meaning and when ignored have consequences.

I'm but buying a word of this. They have been trying to get rid of day time talk radio for years and they finally found a way.

If every country on Earth confiscated every penny beyond bare subsistence from every person and spent it all on “climate”, they couldn’t affect the global temperature by one degree or the sea levels by an inch.

Maybe we should lobby JimRob for more tagline spaces...

I thought that, too. There may be some truth to it, but there are ways around it. Our biggest AM Talk bought an FM frequency here in town and simulcasts. Plus, I’ve been getting our AM station on “I Heart Radio” for years and playing it over the internet because I worked in buildings where I couldn’t get AM. Works over cell phone, too, and I can get AM stations, FM stations, and podcasts from all over and play them in the car. (I have no idea why Sirius Radio thinks I will pay them...)

Now - AM is very vulnerable to electric fields. If you’ve ever driven under high-power lines and got a lot of static, that’s why. Also, some cars had trouble with AM frequencies in the past, because of the spark plug wires. You could get shielding for the wires to fix it. However, shielding the entire car circuitry so you can get AM would probably be impossible... Or extremely difficult and expensive.

That was part of an editorial page submission I sent to my local Gannett newsrag. Imagine my surprise when they published it!

AM and FM are vestiges of radio’s historical development. It took almost forever to get rid of NTSC and introduce digital TV, which was supposed to be implemented in 1998. Digital is the way to go, but it would obsolete millions of receivers and thousands of transmitters overnight. Anyone still watching 525 line TV?

How does writing a check to the government fix global warming? Name a government agency that has been disbanded when their core objectives have been met? How will we know when its fixed?
