More Embarrassment: COP26 Luxury EVs to be Recharged Using Diesel Generators
Watt's Up With That ^ | 10/22/2021 | Eric Worrall

Posted on 10/24/2021 10:35:37 AM PDT by norwaypinesavage

If absurdity were a source of renewable energy, the COP26 climate change summit might achieve its aim of saving the planet...Some 240 Jaguar Land Rover vehicles including its I-PACE SUVs will be laid on by the UK government to move the 120 visiting heads of state and their entourages between their hotels and the SEC venue. Unfortunately a lack of charging points means the fleet now has to be re-charged by cooking oil-powered generators.

"cooking oil-powered generators"

Cooking oil? Scotland must be planning on all the world leaders eating a lot of Fish and Chips. I'll bet the electricity will come from coal!

“Climate Change” is an IQ test.

However, due to strikes, they won’t be able to get any fuel, so the delegates will have to hoof it!

something else to stock up on.

Edible Oil Prices Hit Record High As Food Inflation Treat Soars

Prices of edible oils have been rising across the world. Palm oil, the world’s most consumed vegetable oil, surged to a new record high, spreading concerns about persistent global food inflation.

Malaysia’s palm oil futures soared more than 40% this year, while soybean oil is up more than 50%. Prices of canola oil are also at a record.

Imagine you’re in a gulf or coastal state and there is a warning to evacuate for a hurricane. You hope your electric car stays charged long enough to get you away from the coast/threat. Stuck in traffic in an electric vehicle? Sucks to be you, your car becomes an obstacle when it dies and is pushed off the road. EV’s don’t have the range or reliability to be realistically dependable.

Coal powered diesel generators? At least they may get a discount on some ACME carbon credits. A totally owned subsidiary of algore carbon credit emporium and marijuana shops inc, LLC.

A blast from the past...

I have a business opportunity, grid independent charging stations.

Pull up to a unit in the middle of nowhere, plug in, and a diesel generator coughs to life, barfs out a big puff of black smoke, and clatters to run a generator until you are charged...

Minimal operational expenses, just a box with a diesel generator set, a starter/controller, and a fuel level monitor. Fuel delivery is automatically scheduled only as needed.

Put pedal generators at each position and force the slime-dwelling liberal SOBs to generate their own effing power to get them home.
**** them, their progeny, and all their predecessors, back to Adam & Eve.

that scenario happened in my wilderness area of florida during the evacuation of hurricane irma 4 years ago...

i75 was a parking lot...

many drivers discovered the back roads in my area to avoid the traffic jam...

then the back roads became parking lots...

gas stations are at least 15-20 miles apart in some areas and further apart in others...

there are no charging stations anywhere once you leave the immediate areas of the major highway...

there were overglorified golf carts abandoned on the sides of the back roads...

and to top it off we didn’t have electricity for almost 2 weeks after the storm...

Which has the most pollution, the generators charging the batteries or equivalent number of fossil fueled vehicles?

However, the lack of electrical generating capacity for all the new electrical vehicles is of no importance to our betters. The electrical vehicles will have to be parked, that is all. Use public transportation like the cattle we are. No more of that wasteful individuality stuff.

400 miles is more than a lot of ICE cars.

Ever try to find a gas station during a hurricane evacuation?

We never lost power but all the gas station were empty.
