Her electric car must be flatulence-powered. ....

Too bad the flatulence form DC can not be used for renewable energy.

And there you have it folks. Just like the corona bringing Americans to its knees again. I hate the evil rats ...hate them! They play to win we play to get along, be bipartisan and coexist with them. I say screw them!

Yep, we’re well past the point where they feel the need to disguise their contempt for Americans.

That other thing could be hacked natural gas pipelines to natural gas-fired electrical generating plants, a hacked electrical grid or even a hacked electrical car recharging payment system.

To eliminate any fossil fuel will be a disaster. It’s basic economics and also the facilities that are in place. My apartment is all electric with a gas furnace. While they offer green substitute...it’s substantially higher.

I have a BMW like the one in the picture, and I have never seen a charge station like that one, with a diesel generator.

I drove it 2200 miles about a week ago, through the areas affected by the pipeline.

For long trips, it has a built in generator. A BMW motor cycle engine to run a generator, and a two gallon gas tank. So it charges by using gas, when you want it to.

So that car, it would have been affected by this pipeline going down. I would have been stuck in gas lines too.

Its a great car for its purpose, daily utility. Groceries, picking up the kids at school. It goes about 100 miles on two bucks of electricity.

Yeah, until the rolling blackouts or electricity rationing come.

Ummm...a large number of power generating stations burn oil. Where were they going to get that oil if the pipeline was shut down? When oil burning power stations go offline we burn more coal and nuclear fuel.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm would be wise to pay attention to how many hospitals in particular use backup generators that run on diesel.

And what if the electrical grid was hacked? Oh wait, now that the CCP can supply critical components to the grid that could never happen.

It is difficult seeing how our country could be run by such idiots.

I remember under Odumbass that when they met with large corporation CEO’s the CEO’s walked away saying they had to deal with government bureaucrats so stupid they would never even be hired into upper management in the real world.

Kalifornia could hire illegal border jumpers to run on treadmills to power the generators, when they’re not selling drugs. Another job Americans just wont do.
