They are the reason we have high gas prices.

They really believe they can force the American people into loving the green new deal.

They are the true believers.

They believe that they alone know best.

And unfortunately they are what smart sounds like to stupid people.

Exactly! Their arrogance is leading to an ignorance that is going to have devastating impacts on our country for years. They may have book sense- but no common sense. You know, that jewel that says just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
I want someone to ask them exactly where are we supposed to charge the electric cars if everyone all of a sudden decides to fork out over $55,000 for one. The nearest charging station to me is over 25 miles away... That and the fact the power grid near me couldn’t support more than one or two people charging their cars...

It would be nice f the environmental whackos could offer more than platitudes. Germany went all in on windmills and it has turned into a mess. Germany is paying Denmark to use electricity from the North Sea while southern Germany struggles with getting enough electricity.

Electric vehicles that depend on on-board batteries that are charged from an exterior source have not proved their worth in a competitive, non-subsidized market. If there were an efficient, quick way to provide an energy source that did NOT include a battery array, on board the vehicle, then this push to electrically driven vehicles would make vastly more economic sense.

Which is why hydrogen fuel cells, rather than batteries, should be the technology of choice. We simply do not have enough excess electricity energy generation capability to adequately supply all the demand if all “fossil-fuel” vehicles were somehow converted to electric drive power. And even more stark is the reality that there cannot be enough batteries produced in an economical manner based on the technology and resources available today, because of limitations on the kinds of raw materials available, and the still cumbersome problem of disposal or recycling of the depleted batteries once they can no longer be used for their original purpose.

Science fiction dreams still outstrip our ability to apply these schemes to practical engineering.

Fuel cells, however, have been around a while now and their technological and engineering problems have been studied and worked out, sometimes in financially sound manner that makes fiscal sense, and could be competitive in the market WITHOUT subsidies. Battery technology is still out there in Never-never land. Lots of good schemes, but all with either very real engineering problems, or not economically feasible. Or both.

They need to be fired.
