And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

There's nowhere near enough power on the grid to convert the U.S. truck fleet to electric, let alone cars
The dems and their magical thinking have stated that you can get more power out of a decommissioned coal plant converted to a solar farm than you can if the coal plant was running. Your problem is you don't believe in wishes.
Does not matter. Someone recently postulated using brake energy to recharge batteries as if that would solve the problem. That brought up the electric motor hooked to a generator directly. That won’t work either.
There's not enough lithium to make the batteries either, and they know that too. Peasants don't need to travel, and they should live in dormitories where they work.
To the progressives, that’s a feature, not a bug. They are trying to burn everything down, and succeeding quite nicely. They cannot create, so they destroy, out of jealousy, envy, self-hatred, etc.
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn nailed it in his 1983 speech, when explaining what happened in the Soviet Union: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”
A heavy electric truck requires 16,000 pounds of batteries. My Kenworth log truck, set up as a tractor with a fifth wheel, weighed just over 16,000 pounds. No batteries required. The utopians pushing this crap are insane and have not a clue how Class 8 trucks and trucking works.
BTW, in banning the sale of diesel trucks, the California Air Resources Board relied on two studies on air pollution and mortality. The source of these studies was China. https://californiaglobe.com/articles/why-is-californias-air-board-using-chinese-research-to-ban-diesel-trucks/
And the genius' at the Pentagon want to electrify the military vehicles... Can you imagine the clusterf*ck as you try to recharge your EarthSaver-2000 assault vehicle on the battlefield only to find that there's a 2 year backlog on charging stations?
If the green folks hadn't been holding back nuclear power for the last 60 years, we might be ready to build up a grid to handle this. Wouldn't solve the lithium and road damage issues, but there is a route to low-carbon, near-limitless power. Too bad we left that path decades ago...
Although it is good to note that non diesel truck engines do exist. Some are Natural Gas fueled, Gasoline, and of course, a few highly tuned examples of Ethanol fueled engines

ReplyDeleteThat is not a problem to democrats who are unable to understand the concept of 'cause and effect'.

DeleteIt’s not a problem if your intent is to control and starve as many humans as you can as quickly as you can. Well on our way. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteWell..... that assumes that the car & truck fleet remains at its current size, now doesn't it?

Hey, don't interject facts or common sense into this delusional unicorn fart fantasy. Somebody's panties might get into a bunch and stuff....

ReplyDeleteYou're saying that "Shoot, recharge, scoot" won't work?

ReplyDeleteBut they'll still mandate us to our knees. Because they're politicians. Who can't do anything else for a living. They can't even think for themselves.
