The green scam: How electric vehicles harm the environment that they’re supposed to save
Daily Telegraph New Zealand ^ | November 26, 2023 | Shuchita Jha

In 2032, India will need a billion tonnes of coal, partly to charge EVs in urban areas via power generated by thermal plants.

Five Indian cities, including the capital, New Delhi, consistently rank in the world’s top ten worst air-polluted cities. Vehicular emissions are significant contributors; Delhi alone has around four million cars – no wonder the government of India is promoting electric vehicles (EVs) on a large scale. While India’s target is a 30% market share of EVs by 2030, the share is currently only 1.1%. Moreover, concerns exist about whether EVs are a green option if pollution is transferred from the cities to the countryside.

Around 27.4 million EVs were running on Indian roads as of July 2023, according to the ‘Vahan4’ portal of the Ministry of Road, Transport, and Highways. To achieve its goal of net zero by 2070 to cut down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, India is expanding its EV market. The hope in New Delhi, for example, is that a rise in the number of green-number plate vehicles will herald a day when its air will become breathable again.

And I’ve read that charging an EV is like paying $17/gal of gas.

New Zealand has a conservative newspaper, or is this a liberal paper exposing the lies regarding green energy and more importantly EVs?

How can that be? I thought evil America was the number-one polluter in the world! Been told that for more than fifty years!

New Zealand has a conservative newspaper...

No, just Socialists whom are not clear on which Socialists are IN CHARGE.

New Zealand Socialists are upset that Indians won't starve, sweat, freeze or walk so New Zealand Socialists can feel superior and all-knowing in THEIR method of achieving Noble Socialist Goals!

They make the decisions, Indians make the sacrifices and continue to fix New Zealanders computers from hotter sweatshops.

A cost comparison that is most likely correct, and may be low.

I didn’t think they had a conservative paper. But since I really do not pay a lot of attention to NZ, I wasn’t sure. Thanks for answering my question. 🙂

I read recently that India gets 70% of their electricity from coal. Their leader Modi announced that they will be ramping up coal mining to bring more electricity to everyone. Heating and air conditioning are not evil in India.

Meanwhile in France, the French are building 10 or more nuclear powered electricity plants. France has used nuclear energy for electricity for decades. No Chernobyls because the West uses real science.

The reason I sourced a New Zealand newspaper is the Western MSM is refusing to run the article as it shows an inconsistency in EnviroNazism.

New Zealanders are now hopelessly Socialist Stupid, and they screw up regularly because of it.

Too bad, ... I visited in the Sixties, and the place was paradise then.

Frog France has a lot more problems at home AND overseas than any number of nuclear power plants can overcome.

The Surrender Experts have long ago Surrendered to Terrorist Islam.

Well, sadly it is not the only paradise that has been lost, or that has turned socialist. Mainly because many people have been raised to be stupid, and it has become glaringly apparent now.

I was just shocked that NZ has even printed it. I mean all the elite liberals threaten to emigrate to there but never follow through, when things do not go their way. Thys from that I knew it has to be a liberal stronghold, but wasn't sure if there might be a conservative stronghold fight to gain prominence. 😋

In the movie, “Oppenheimer”, there was a physicist that was one of Fermi’s assistants that testified at a congressional hearing and destroyed the man that wish to ruin Oppenheimer. His name was David Hill. Before he passed in 2008 he went on record that he believed global warming and the “green” movement was a scam.

It is like this with EVERYTHING green. They could care less about the environment. It is all about power and control period.

Most greenies are just useful idiots, like the race hustlers it is not about the environment or people of color, but about power and control.

A free and actually educated public does not need them

Couple of years ago was in line at the post office, started talking to the pony tail dude in front of me. Wasn’t long before he was laying out his wisdom about the rich, globull warming abd EVs

Showed him a picture of lithium mines in Canada and little kids mining in Africa.

He turned away and never said anything else, though surprised I wasn’t called a homophobic(pretrans era), racist nazi lol

But I can see him driving an ev with a generator in trunk just for backup, sniffing his farts from a glass and saying Thaaaanks to his fellow world savers

Hot weather causes brown outs and black outs in places like kali right now, imagine millions more EVs needing charged

The screaming and nashing of teeth will be delightful

Never let facts get in the way of emotion
