EVs: A Democrat Party scam

Democrats and their environmental fanatics scam the public. Here's some unfortunate facts

Excerpt: The main selling point—that it helps take us off our dependence on fossil fuels—is a myth. You need coal plants to charge your car. Second, these electric vehicles are laughably unreliable in inclement weather. You need to upgrade your power grid at your house to accommodate the charging station, all of which adds tens of thousands to your clean energy purchase.

Electric vehicles release more toxic particles into the atmosphere and are worse for the environment than their gas-powered counterparts, according to a resurfaced study

Because EVs are on average 30% heavier, brakes and tires on the battery-powered cars wear out faster than on standard cars.

@Jimmy2016

What about the spent fuel rods with a half life of 1,000 years? Fission is NOT green........

Then don't live near a nuclear plant.

Move to where the ONLY electricity is wind or solar.

Wait!. I forgot. There is no such place in the world. Wind and solar only work because nearby there are fossil fuel plants as backup.

@Jimmy2016 yes it is. It does not release carbon emissions

@Reason10 It's gotten colder in my area. So much for all the ice melting and drowning us all. "Climate change" is a scam fully duping the major "news" media.

I hear ya.

The phrase "Climate Change" was adopted because fund raising for the Global Warming lie dried up. Maybe it's because the planet did NOT warm up enough to melt the poles and submerge Florida.

@Reason10 Yes, the name of the whole con job was switched from "global warming" to "climate change" to keep the lead balloon floating.

Right so clearly you support stronger public transport like passenger rail!

@CountScrofula The cognitive dissonance needed to have supported the Reagan revolution and neoliberal ideology (as all of these guys did) and then see corporate profits as being a conspiracy. But only when it's woke!

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@Burnley123 Yeah only woke corporations use slave labour.

Like... what? What does that even mean???

@CountScrofula

I think he's telling me I can choose to ride a train if I want, but that makes me a Nazi.

Note there's no passenger rail infrastructure where I live. So I do not have that choice.

Actually CHOOSING to ride a train does not make you a Nazi. Trying to take that choice away from those who want the freedom of their own cars, THAT IS NAZI.

100 million ppl gunna come home and plug their cars into an already strained base power load..
may the wind blow like a tornado and may the sun blaze like a welders rod for the end of days

I'll paraphrase Michael Crichton (the great science fiction writer who gave us Jurassic Park) The electric car will be viable when the market is read.
The original internal combustion automobile was hardly a hit when it first arrived. It was competing against horse drawn modes of transportation. It took roughly 60 years for there to be a nationwide network of interstate highways, with fueling stations for these gasoline powered vehicles. There was no government mandates for everyone to own an EV by a certain date (which the Nazi Fuhrer UNELECTED JOE has tried to push on us.)

When the market is ready and the electric car is affordable, (which means its source of fuel is stable and inexpensive) it may likely replace the internal combustion engine automobile. Right now, the BATTERY for an EV costs around $20,000. Ordinary people cannot afford that.

If you're wondering who really deserves reparations, maybe the first place to start is these CHILDREN who have to mine the stuff EV batteries are made from.

@CountScrofula Produce proof that this SLAVE is mining a substance that goes into regular batteries.

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@Reason10 That random picture that could be from anywhere? Come on.

I was specifically speaking about rare earth metals used in things like smart phones. "Modern electronics".

But I'll be clear -any mining- that takes place outside of countries with good labour laws may involve the use of children or other forms of slave labour.

There are hundreds of mining companies that gets the materials we use to build our stuff operating out of Africa.

If you think that the only slave labour is used to build "woke" products, you're a fool and you're being manipulated.

What is a "woke" product? Are you REALLY that ignorant and piss poor at communication?
Maybe it's because I have a superior education to pretty much EVERY liberal here (although Florida third graders are smarter than the goose stepping libs here as well), but to me products are products and they are sold for market value. That does not make a product woke or not.

(Around the 1990s, goose steppers gave us the phrase "Politically Correct" which means the same as "Woke." Both terms describe a Nazi mentality.)

They're making plenty of money after investing in the scam and then forcing everyone to buy into it. Damage done to the environment doesn't matter to them as they will have already enjoyed the spoils of their treachery.
