The most retarded concept I’ve ever heard of in my life. Let’s avoid using fossil fuel engines by using electric cars where the electric is created by fossil fuel engines.

Well, a Diesel-powered facility in Coalinga beats a coal-powered facility in Dieselinga.

The all electric army anyone?

Just picture the Red Ball Express supplying the front on batteries? Imagine the legions of diesel powered charging stations set up all along the route and the fuel supply chain of electric trucks hauling diesel to run the generators.

Even more absurd, Imagine the banks of solar cells and wind turbines and battery storage banks being built and hauled to the front lines to charge the war effort.

These people are truly insane or intentionally perverse and evil with destruction their motive.

If you don't know what the Red Ball Express was, It was the endless line of trucks hauling supplies to the front lines in WWII. It as much as Patton or any other army was responsible for the German defeat.

Can anyone picture the amount of copper it would take to provide a grid capable of supplying renewable energy at a rate required for fast charging and everything else? It is mind boggling to me given the rate of transmission let alone the volume and the number of backups sources and battery banks that would be required.

You can take Bovine Fecal material. Put it in a box, wrap it in pretty paper an put a beautiful ribbon on it but when it’s all opened up its still cow poop. And so is this sin. Don’t go down this road.

When you sit back and think, it’s kind of hilarious that so many people think these cars somehow produce their own electricity.

(The leftists don’t seem to produce much except humor.)

...in June 2023, natural gas supplied nearly 5,000 megawatt hours of electricity in California, whereas non-hydroelectric renewables supplied about 7,250 megawatt hours

I wonder how much power Commifornia imported. Inquiring minds want to know.

By the way, part of the scam is that Tesla gets fake carbon credits for so-called saving the environment. Having diesel generators for their chargers should make them have to give up those credits and not have as many to sell to oil refineries and such (to help oil refineries avoid the RIN fees, which I believe is about 50 cents for every gallon of gasoline IIRC).

They just built one of those massive Tesla Stations in Lenwood (Barstow) for the Teslas going to Vegas. Will have to check and see if they are hooked up to the grid or generators.

“Superchargers charge vehicles up to the 80% sweet spot”

Considering their in Harris Ranch, that 80% sweet spot is about the only thing that smells sweet then, given the 100,000 head of cattle next door.

Converting to electric cars is not about the environment. It’s about the revolution. For liberals, everything is about the revolution.

That's irrelevant. Because, virtue signaling.

X, formally known as Twitter.

Let's not be quite so formal and just say formerly known as Twitter.
