Ultimately pointless but at a considerable cost to taxpayers

I'd like to get me some of that "free electricity" action. Drive your gasoline car to city hall; plop some quarters into the parking meter, and plugthe cable into the charger for the battery packs in the trunk.
Drive home, and plug the battery packs into your transformer that feeds your 12V (don't need permits to install them) lighting circuits, and light up your life with free electricity.
Just takes the usual combination of larceny, ingenuity, and elbow grease...and a trip to Home Depot.

I must say it is free electricity because they said it is free. Right? Down in the land of Opie, Sheriff Taylor, Aunt Bea, Goober, Gomer, Floyd and Barney Fife anyone can fool all the people all the time. I have been to Raleigh and the town sucks as do a lot of the people that live there. It is supposed to be a highly educated area but basic common sense is lacking in every person that i met. The people that live there probably believe that it is free electricity since the Internet told them so. It's so bad down there i had one a**hole tell me she was tethered to the Internet. This person couldn't even figure out how to open the gas cap on her new car. Maybe the dolt is better of with electric. She was one of them people that when asked, where does electric come from? She answers, Out of the wall socket. All i could say was, Golly, shazam she figured that one out all by herself. What a dolt.

Looks like two homos deciding who will try it first. The guy on the left has that i dunno look but the guy on the right can’t wait to try. The guy in the suit looks like he is measuring it up. What a waste of time but typical of a southern town over run by people from the north.

I can anticipate the demand right now, for free.

It's like a broken "push to activate walk" button at an intersection.I see they fooled you too. Those buttons were NEVER connected to anything. They NEVER worked.
They are just there to trick people into standing passively on the curb instead of running through traffic.

The electricity is free? How is this possible, with utility bills necessarily skyrocketing?
That means that someone else will be paying for it. Electricity cost to produce and to transmit. Once produced and not used it is lost forever.

find some homeless folks warming themselves with provised electric heating devices.
Provided by the government of course.
That’s like saying the government should give those poor ladies on grampa’s computer some cloths.

Ill bet there will be more than a few who will think its free. Hmmmm - free electricity. I wonder if I can tapnto that to run some of my house.
More "rebates" to push a product that can't make it via Capitalism and Fee Enterprise - the rest of us pay to bring down the price of the vehicles, then we pay to bring down the price of the owners' operating costs, along with insulating them from the realities of the limitations of the current technology.

Yeah I can see homeless folks running portable heaters from these outlets to stay warm. And theres plenty of room to set up a mini cooking range. How long before they are known as Bum Pods? Built it and they will come...

Not Christmas lights. Possibly Kwanza lights or Ramadan lights...but not Christmas lights.

Those will be part of a bigger wave that will bring more than 350 recharging stations to North Carolina, most of them financed by federal stimulus money.Wow, not only is it federal money, it's federal stimulus money !
I feel a tingle going up my leg, right into my wallet.
Federal money ! Like it's from the land of rainbows and ponies. It's taxpayer's money, squandered on a snake oil scam.

Where’s all this electric power going to come from if the Demonazis won’t let new power plants be built?

Yes - we’ll be paying for this while being forced to use those mercury light bulbs in order to “save electricity.”

If these toys were of any use, the government would not be building charging stations. It would be private enterprise. Get the government out of our private transportation. CORRECTION: GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR TRANSPORTATION.
