Yep. I fail to understand why more people do not understand that. They mock the “greenies” for their lack of understanding without realizing the climate cultists understand it all too well. We peons are not going to be allowed to travel outside our 15 minute cities. We will walk, bike, or take the electric bus to pre-approved destinations. There will be plenty of both gas and electricity for the elite who will be in charge of allocating the resources.
Also, it wasn’t too many decades ago that air travel was something only for the very well-to-do. They want to return to those times.
I agree 100%. The only thing I like about so-called "green energy" or EV's is if it's done in a decentralized manner, but that's not how the Dims or other globalists push them.
By "decentralized" I mean those of us with solar providing power for our own homes, not solar for the grid. A few of us FReepers have solar with more of a prepper or self-reliance mindset, as opposed to doing it out of cult-like warmageddon beliefs. In my case over the past 12 months solar has provided 81% of all the power I needed for our all-electric home, including all the charging for the EV we did at home. (Of the 28K miles driven in the EV in the past 12 months, 15K of those miles were charged at home. But we just took the EV on a months long 4K mile round trip. Until that trip the running 12-month numbers were about 22K miles charged at home of about 26K miles driven in a year.)
Of course, that's an extreme use of decentralized solar combined with an EV. I've seen other uses of it that were practical (i.e. nock off 50% of a power bill but still have a natural gas bill and drive ICE cars).
But I've seen no practical use of making the grid dependent on solar or wind. Nor would even I have an EV if I wasn't married and needed 2 cars anyway (with the other car being an ICE pickup to handle the drives that an EV won't do, especially if the Dims are successful at making the grid unreliable for charging the EV on trips). That's what scares me about the Dims' push for EV's combined with "green" power.
