And vehicles will be powered by blue unicorn farts and wind power.
How did that work out for Texas last winter ?
There has been no new nuclear power plants (clean energy) built in the last 30 years.
Buttigieg has been reading too many fantasy books lately
to know the difference between wishful thinking, fantasy, and reality.
His mind is reprobated by his own wickedness, and so he can easily think the rest of us are idiots.
Well, the guy doesn’t know the difference between an anus and a vagina. What should we expect?
Did the talking head ask Booty Judge where the electricity comes from?

Yeah... but that electric car charger is going to make your AC unit look like a ceiling fan on your electric bill.
To make sure the super-heavy electric trucks get charged, why not also mandate installation of portable solar panels on the bottom of the truck bed? [/climate cretinism]
Yes you can save enough on gas to make an EV “free”, but you need enough cash flow to front the $30,000 minimum before any rebates & savings kick in and add up over years … and likewise add on ~$50,000 for home solar to avoid the rise in electricity grid cost when majority of supply is phased out because its coal-generated.
This is the ultimate Vapor Ware scam.
AKA Electric Vehicles (EVs) for everyone ...
His remarks reveal just how poorly leftists understand basic economics. Of course that is to be expected— in a police state command economy, the state doesn’t have to contend with obsolete things like market forces, supply and demand.
Yeah, they will worry about electricity rather than gas.
also, let them eat cake
So, electricity is gonna be FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Yippie!!!!!!
I hope that is reflected on my next utility bill.

Leftists can’t be that stupid. Can they??????
[Rhetorical, as we all know the answer to that one.]
No but, their electric bills are going to be insane as those prices are only going up. If in CA then they’re really screwed as the idiots in charge keep turning off the power grids. I have a friend in Southern CA who’s electricity was stopped right in the middle of cooking Thanksgiving dinner!
Excerpt of testimony of Robert Bryce to a House Committee.
The history of EVs is a century of failure after failure. In 1911, the New York Times said the electric car “has long been recognized as the ideal solution.” In 1990, the California Air Resources Board mandated 10% of car sales be zero-emission vehicles by 2003. Today, 31 years later, only about 6% of the cars in California have an electric plug.
The average household income for EV buyers is about $140,000. That’s roughly two times the U.S. average. And yet, federal EV tax credits force low- and middle-income taxpayers to subsidize the higher income EV owners.
Lower-income Americans are facing huge electric rate increases for grid upgrades to accommodate EVs even though they will probably never own one.
This month, the California Energy Commission estimated the state will need 1.3 million new public EV chargers by 2030. The likely cost to ratepayers: about $13 billion.
Powerful lobby groups want Congress to spend billions on electrification schemes that will impose regressive taxes on low-income Americans, reduce our resilience, and increase reliance on China; a dubious trifecta.
Let’s amplify that last point: reliance on electric vehicles will put our future squarely in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.
The manufacture of EVs is not sustainable. Mining for lithium and cobalt, and the disposal of batteries is horribly harmful to the environment. For owners, replacement of batteries every few years will cost $5 - $10 thousand.
EVs are coal powered; let’s not kid ourselves. Most electric grids are powered by coal, some by natural gas, and fewer by nuclear.
Next time somebody tries to tell you these things are green...
Some plant has to produce electricity. Probably from Coal to power EV’s.
“61% of electricity is generated by fossil fuels.”
But they will be terribly shocked to see the cost of electricity going up. And then they will blame greed for electricity going up. Because if only the ‘right people’ were creating electricity all would be well.
I couldn’t stomach to read past the headline. In the story, did Mayor Pete say the electric vehicles would run on fairy dust, or candy and nuts?
