Every plan to fight climate change either creates fabricated markets to raise prices on fossil fuels or creates artificial scarcity. Biden says this is the moment we become a leader in “exporting clean energy to countries all around the world.” The president wants half of new cars produced in the United States to be electric by 2030 (the year we will miraculously reach zero emissions), not because consumers demand them but because technocrats decided to manipulate the market and coerce Americans to drive them.
So, what do we have? Ford and GM promise to dramatically scale back gasoline-powered cars and become electric-car manufacturers by 2035 because government promises “investments” and subsidies, not because of market demand. Car companies know they’re too big to fail.
And, in the meantime, let them eat cake. “Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 a gallon,” Stephen Colbert ($10 million yearly salary) joked. “OK, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two. It’s important. I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.”
Who writes this stuff?!
That’s Harris babble. You can actually watch the video of her spewing that childish babble.
Energy inflation. Here’s a question. Why can’t the feds turn their land over to the states? Barring that Texas should horizontally drill into New Mexico. Same with Pennsylvania doing that to NY. Might involve fracking.
Great! Give me one.
I wish so much I could drill and refine my own oil and natural gas to free me from the Dim energy policies. But I can't. So I did the next best thing and put solar onto my house, followed by converting my two natural gas appliances to electric. Without a doubt one of the best decisions I've made. No more natural gas bills, and my electric bill is half what it used to be.
My wife and I are thinking of replacing one of our old used cars with an EV. If we do I'll almost certainly upgrade the solar system. As it is, the solar system will have paid for itself near the end of the 10th year. With an EV for about $45K, getting 1.8 miles per kWh, that and the upgrade will pay for itself on the 12th year. And that assumes only 3% inflation rate in gas prices, natural gas, and power.
I got tired of fussing about energy prices and saying "somebody outta do something" and then I realized as a free American citizen I can be the somebody that gives myself a large level of freedom from gubment control-freaks.
RE: Who writes this stuff?!
Someone wrote this for Pete BootEdgeEdge ( credit: Trump ) and he simply parrots what was written.
Can Harris even Drive ?
“Who writes this stuff?”
Some Chic with purple and blue hair, sleeve tatt’s and a nose ring sitting at the back table at Starbucks.
Alternate plan: Carjack Teslas.
“I wish so much I could drill and refine my own oil and natural gas to free me from the Dim energy policies.”
I simply invested in energy and it more than pays for all my gasoline and my utilities on two properties.
I think Willie Brown did most of the driving…
Are there 235,000,000 electric cars out available for purchase? Didn’t think so. It will take decades to get there if it’s even possible.
The elites are clueless about food production. US agriculture is powered by diesel fuel. There are not even prototype electric tractors or combines and no practical electric semi trucks. How do these idiots expect to get the soy beans needed for their tofurkey if there is nothing to plant or harvest the crop? The green new deal will mean widespread food shortages if not starvation.
Historians say that Marie Antoinette never said what they claimed she said. Ann Coulter said in her book, “ Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America.”, the “Let them Eat Cake” quote was a line invented by the narcissistic atheist Jean-Jacques Rousseau to demonize the royals.
Neither did Sarah Palin say: “I can see Russia from my house.” Somehow, people began to think a script given to Tina Fey at SNL was real.
Do these people drive EVs? I betcha Nancy, Joe and Kamala ride around in limos.
The EV “war” underway is nothing more than a war between two entities - one provides energy in the form of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, while the other provides energy in volts.
Pure and simple.....
That’s a lot of friggin money.
“Climate Change” is just the sideshow.
