Youtube ^ | 30 Nov 2024 | Mark P. Mills

It is often taken as a given that electric vehicles are friendlier for the environment and that we will all inevitably be driving them in the future. In this short video, Mark P. Mills of the National Center for Energy Analytics questions the government’s push towards EVs, and whether these “givens” are true.

Has TexasGator given up on
his defense of a proven
failed energy source?
Ain’t heard anything from
him for a while now...
EV’s might work just fine
in Texas if you can find a
place to charge them in
between hurricane events,
but I’m pretty sure salty
roads and 30 below is
beyond anything he’s lived
thru. (Heavy sarcasim).

I’ll have nothing to do with a battery powered car until manufacturers make a battery like the zero point module from Stargate Atlantis. Those batteries were round cylinders easy to slip in and pull out then you can put them somewhere to recharge. It’s unrealistic to go on a trip and charge your vehicle for a half hour 45 minutes I mean you could be in a dangerous neighborhood if you get my drift.

Anyone with half a brain understands EVs are anything but environmentally friendly nor are those giant windmills and solar farms. They’re all environmental disasters.

Picture just 10% of Florida trying to leave their home area in EV’s to escape a hurricane.......and all needing recharging on the escape route somewhere between 200 & 300 miles from home.......
