This guy might have more credibility if he himself didn’t use the propaganda term “carbon” when he should be saying carbon dioxide. “Carbon emissions” are not the issue in this scam. Carbon dioxide is.
“The “Then what” has been amply demonstrated by communist regimes in the 20th century.”
Do you mean that “they” are true believers in Communism and want to establish it as widely as possible for the good of humanity so that everyone can live happily ever after?
Playing Captain Obvious here ... ‘They’ want the bulk of the population gathered into a few large urban centers where all are totally dependent on electricity for everything - transportation, financial transactions (digital dollars), etc.
If someone pi$$es off a gubmint official, BAM - your electrical connection to the world ceases to function. You have no access to money and no way to get around. You may not even be able to get out of your apartment. After a few weeks your neighbors will complain about the smell. If that were to be the case, someone will come around to take your dead body to the incinerators or the soylent green prep center.
From the FedGov’s point of view - problem solved.
BTT
China’s EV junk yard is massive most of them were never sold they ended up the slow death on the factory death lot.
Of course it’s sinister!
Obama’s promise to fundamentally change America.
Trump will make sure they don’t get away with this treachery.
the Left will attempt to change reality by legislation even past the time when its obviously nonsense.
the overnight EV credits are to get people to suck down that power at off peak times, because it is stressing the grid. Maybe what you should do is start a movement of ‘we have the right to charge our EV during the day’ movement to make it more obvious to everyone how this is a bad idea
Well said.
Great article, thanks for posting.
The so called “Great Reset,” is above all a road map for global genocide.
The primary communist goal in all this EV crap is “control”...
The freedom of movement by the serfs is a direct long-term danger to the goal of 1000 years of permanent global-communism rule...
With speed, distance, and driver-thought control all carefully recorded by the car’s computer, the monthly uploads can mean either fines, imprisonment, or death for naughty serfs...
Logically, this is exactly what the American serfs have consistently voted for...
Nothing like the current & looming scale and level-of-terror tyrannical-control has ever existed on the planet...
I would agree that the price would drop to $7500 less if there were no tax credit, but...if you are already losing $130,000 on some model (I still cannot wrap my head around that, and wouldn’t believe it except it was Car and Driver I saw it in)...well.
I guess the difference between losing $130,000 and $137,500 on each one sold would be a spit in the wind.
I really cannot fathom this. Are all the shareholders complete and total Leftists, where this kind of loss on each vehicle is okay if it pushes an agenda?
I am not embarrassed at all to say I don’t get it.
Oh, yes.
That is exactly what I am saying.
Of course, if you ask them right out if they are Communists or Marxists, or even Socialists, 99.9 % of them will deny it with a straight face, and will do so right to your face without even a twitch or a blink.
But if you look at who they are, what they do, and what they stand for, they are.
The current and future grid in most places will not be able to support each home running 25 refrigerators—not even close.
Duh
“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant. Where the Lottery was concerned, even people who could barely read and write seemed capable of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory. There was a whole tribe of men who made their living simply by selling systems, forecasts, and lucky amulets. Winston had nothing to do with the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides of a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget that there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
The Civic, for sure.
The Honda Civic is the only vehicle I have ever MADE money on.
I bought a four year old one for my wife. She drove for another four years. We sold it for $400 MORE than we paid for it. I don’t think we had to put any repairs into it either.
Similar story with the 1999 Lexus SC400 I owned. I paid $13400. Sold it a year later for $13,400. However, I had to repair a fender bender on it when someone hit it in a parking lot.
25 refrigerators.That’s how much the additional electricity consumption per household would be if the average US home adopted electric vehicles (EVs)....
That's the only reason that matters because even if they were practical for the individual owner (which they're not), or better for the environment (also not), the grid won't support them.
And the new power generating station is pointless if you don't also beef up the grid. So to mitigate the impact on the grid for each 5.6 million EVs sold, you're looking at BILLION$ in government expenditures, plus years of environmental impact studies to locate a proposed site for the new powerplant, then more years of court battles over the site, and finally still more years to build it and get it on line.
Multiply that by 50 to measure the cost to America for abandoning ICE autos and replacing them with battery-only EVs.
Parking lots are poorly designed in that they literally encourage cars to back into each other.
Geometric parking is the way to go.
