Young king was in thick with Carlyle which is inside the Bush camp.
This is a safe calculated issue for him.
The facts against banning gas engine cars are they tons more efficient than electric cars.
Here’s why:
Electric cars are charged by local power plants that burn gas, coal; are carbon heavy.
Plus ..... the local power plants distribute power through the grid, that lose 70% to heat. This is known as 70% line loss.
Think of your stove top grid elements that lose heat to the kitchen air. Your stove top is twice more efficient than your local power plant.
Plus ..... the power grid can’t handle bringing on millions of energy wasting EVs.
To get around this local power plant increased pollution and gris loss, nuclear power plants will need to be built. That takes 10 to 15 years to completion, very, very expensive, and require safety systems and constant safety training, plus disposal of radioactive waste that will be around for thousands upon thousands of years.
The smart play is gas-NG-solar-EV tribrids.
I wish someone would start running podcasts on the carbon footprint of “green energy”!!!
From what I’ve read of making an EV battery, the carbon footprint is through the roof!!! A large part of the batteries, solar panels and windmills are not recyclable.
I also read the average cost of driving a normal car is 19¢/mile, EV is 43¢.”
This is war on the middle class.
