I giggled when Elon Musk this week sent out alerts to TX Tesla owners on their dashboard screens, imploring them not to charge their vehicles during peak energy hours, to reduce load on the grid.
It’s all a fiasco and will only get worse until the first of the year where at the very least we will have a major say in both houses.At that point let’s hope some other changes happen as well.
Most Copper used in the U.S. comes from Peru and Chile. The Morenci mine in Arizona is the largest copper mine in North America.
No shortage of Coper.
Shortage of Electric Grid and more importantly Electric Grid stability due to BASE LOAD which you do not get from Wind or Solar.
Nuclear is the BEST option, even "small" units build across the U.S. would do the trick as far as providing Electricity.
As for EVs - way to many other issues, batteries wear out before the owner is ready to sell the car, recharging times, etc.
Val Demings is the former Orlando Police Chief, running on a law and order platform. Her service handgun was stolen from her vehicle while in her driveway. At the time, her husband was Sheriff of Orange County FL. Now he is the mayor of Orlando. She is currently U.S. Rep FL District 10. The political power couple.
Welcome to the Hotel Paranoia
A parody rewrite of the Eagles’ 1977 hit song, Hotel California, relevant to the current times, the times of pervasive paranoia and pandemics of fear.

Add resale value of used EV. The great unknown, with battery life the mystery to buyer. Is there a way to know how many times the vehicle was rapid-charged, which reduces the battery life?
Copper shortage keep green energy, tech ventures grounded
Copper is so central to transitioning from fossil fuels to sustainable energy, says a report from S&P Global, that worldwide demand is likely to double by 2035 from 25 million metric tons to 50; no matter the scenario, S&P said it's unlikely the world will be able to meet it. "The record-high level of demand would be sustained and continue to grow to 53 million metric tons in 2050 – more than all the copper consumed in the world between 1900 and 2021," S&P Global said.
you can find stories about the cost of battery replacement for Tesla as well as resale value.
Also keep in mind the type of people who can afford to purchase a Tesla. These people have more $$ than brains, tend to be the early trend setters.
You see working antique automobiles in every small-town parade or in Saturday old car festivals in the local shopping strip mall parking lot.
Some are over 100 years old but are faithfully kept up by their owners.
Can you image someone driving a 50-year-old Tesla to a meet up? Maybe if they put a gas engine in it.
Now this could be due to the coming recession
Great question! Sadly, we are living in a throw-away society. From disposable diapers to disposable pregnancies, toss out what we don't want and forget about it. Use it and lose it.
Now the question becomes, do you support MEGA RINO, Mitche's B*. Rubio or leave that slot open and allow a Dem. to take the seat.
I will never vote for Val Demings. Will vote for Rubio, while keeping my wallet closed in the race.
Looks deadly like the other vaccines.

Looks like another bio-weapon is in the offing and will be pushed big time. Using the first link only by Toby Rogers who gives an excellent analysis of how these things get approved and into the system it simply boggles the mind.
Here's some of the highlights of his analysis.
Here's the headline"
' No evidence of effectiveness against Omicron, definitely causes myocarditis, Sounds great! says the FDA's "expert advisory committee"
Feckless bureaucrats add Novavax to the Final Solution
Here's the open of Rogers summary:
I. Welcome to the clown show
Let's talk about yesterday's meeting of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC):
They had ten permanent voting members and TWELVE ringers (aka Temporary Voting Members). The cartel does not leave anything to chance.
Dr. Arnold Monto who is 89 chairs the advisory committee and its clear he's only there to get the thing passed.He's way too old to be chairing a meeting this important.
Peter Marks has become quite the supervillain over the last two years. Dr. Marks is EXACTLY who Hannah Arendt was writing about in Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil.
He too is only there to get it passed.
Rogers goes on to state:
The testimony by dr. Greg Poland is one of the most chilling things I've ever seen. Dr. Poland at the Mayo Clinic has done some important work showing the race effects of vaccines.
He discovered that Black Americans have twice the immune response to the measles vaccine as white Americans. This helps to explain the higher autism rates in the Black community.
Dr. Poland is now badly injured with tinnitus after Covid-19 vaccination. He has stated publicly that he may be disabled for life because of this shot. Yet there he was acting like a Nazi clown promoting the benefits of Novavax. He never mentioned his own vaccine injury. We need to find out how much Dr. Poland was paid by Novavax to sell his soul.
II. The bar has been set so low over the past two years that abysmal data is accepted and even celebrated!!
The main discussion at the VRBPAC meeting went something like this:
Does Novavax work against Omicron? "We have no data on that".
Does Novavax cause myocarditis? Yes, probably. But we already authorized Pfizer and Moderna and they do not work against Omicron and they also cause myocarditis so we should probably authorize Novavax too, just to give the “vaccine hesitant” another option. That's what passes for logic at the VRBPAC.
Rogers goes on to Post about a ten does vial which has ten different does of poison to be injected into willing imbeciles who do no research and blindly accept whatever they are told.
Here is the definition of a ten dose vial.
What is a multi-dose vial? A multi-dose vial is a vial of liquid medication intended for parenteral administration (injection or infusion) that contains more than one dose of medication. Multi-dose vials are labeled as such by the manufacturer and typically contain an antimicrobial preservative to help prevent the growth of bacteria. The preservative has no effect on viruses and does not protect against contamination when healthcare personnel fail to follow safe injection practices.

' Here is Rogers' close which is excellent after he poses five other danger zones:
’d just like to close with this thought…
In its over thirty-year history, Novavax had never successfully brought a product to market. Yet it was handed $1.6 BILLION by Operation Warp Speed. Then apparently that was not enough so another $147 million was added bringing the total to $1.747 BILLION in U.S. taxpayer dollars.
And yet the members of VRBPAC apologized to Dr. Dubovsky for asking any questions at all and went out of their way to praise his “perseverance” as if he were some sort of hero. In fact this guy fleeced the federal government out of $1.747 billion.
In 2021, the company paid out $116 million in compensation to its top 5 executives. That's where the money went. Emergent BioSolutions got $628 million dollars just from one contract from HHS, so I imagine the total of all of their Warp Speed contracts were well into the billions of dollars.
When the government gives pharmaceutical companies money up front and also gives them liability protection, the American people get fleeced.
What we got for all that money was: contaminated shots that do not work and that cause catastrophic harms.
Operation Warp Speed was a boondoggle. All of the shots produced via this program will have to be pulled from the market. And everyone at FDA and CDC who signed off on these dangerous and useless products must be tried for crimes against humanity.
Yes for some things like plastic containers that are used to deliver your food when you call for a dinner delivery.
No, for many other things, like CARS, as these now tend to last 20+ years with minimal maintenance and parts replacements.
Daily convenience items are indeed throw-away, do you buy water, we do, Smartwater, Sams Purified, bottled Mexican Coke - use real Cane sugar - NO CORN, just like to good old days
Hopefully Marco will dig up what they really are and come back with another win.

Thanks for bringing us the Sunday Theatre of the absurd every week, Alas. (Well, Maria excepted).
then theres this one on inflation:
