Smart and politically astute people are abandoning electric cars in increasing numbers. The impracticality of charging these green vehicles are having many people who once used electric cars switching back to gas powered vehicles. The weight of these cars are having a detrimental effect upon our infrastructure/roads/bridges. The reality/danger of the children who are mining the cobalt which is needed for these monstrosities should alarm everybody.
It also appears that the precious minerals required to make these electric cars are having a negative environmental impact on our oceans and landscape. Are windmills destroying fishing grounds, oceans, birds and marine life?
Where is the outrage, where are the serious and essential studies regarding all of this green energy? Why are we ignoring all of this madness? Why are we rushing to usher in all these green products while ignoring what these products are actually doing to the environment and economy ???
Why are greenies ignoring the negative environmental impact of the green revolution ? Are these radicals who are attempting to save the environment actually going to wind up destroying our environment? Phonies and fake are two words which come to mind which epitomize all of these green radicals.
More importantly, why are most people not questioning these leftist politicians who are clueless about the negative effects of all of this green energy?
IMHO green is mean, green is evil. It’s having a negative impact on our environment, the entire process is destroying the US economy. The US middle class is becoming unfairly financially burdened due to the misguided ambition/intentions of fanatical and zealous leftist globalist politicians. Poorer countries and their citizens are being exploited all over the globe in this whole green process. And for what, so a bunch of soulless virtue signaling leftists can feel good about themselves?
Why are we committing economic suicide while completely ignoring all of the negative repercussions of this green revolution? Are these leftist politicians and their green acolytes doing the required research on this subject when forming a rational and cogent opinion on green energy? Where is the common sense, awareness and practicality regarding green energy?
Why do leftists continue to ignore all the negative repercussions of green energy, why are they unwilling to use the same scrutiny in looking at green energy as they do with fossil fuels? Where’s the media, where are the vital studies regarding the environmental impact of the green revolution? Why are most citizens clueless about all of this green madness?
What will Biden and the green movement’s agenda actually do to America’s future?
Do the “do gooders” actually have most people’s interests in mind?
