Someday our power will come from something other than fossil fuels.

The technology has not yet been perfected though.

To attempt to switch now to alternative sources of energy will fail.

I suppose that if the modern, cringe-worthy left were transported back to when the Stanley Steamer was invented they would call for all the horses to be immediately shot and the wagons to be burned... they are stupid.

👍

I posted this previously but I feel it bears repeating:

Consider this scenario.

A mandatory evacuation hits a gulf state or states and everybody with a battery car bugs out at approximately the same time.

Best case scenario there is the batteries were fully charged....at 300 miles out everybody is looking for a way to charge up.

If your fortunate enough to have been able to afford a tesla your gonna need at least 30 minutes to charge up IF you can find a tesla supercharger.....you and all the other tesla owners.

In the meantime a cat III+ hurricane is bearing down.

Since I do live on the Southeast coast, if I have to evacuate I suspect I’ll be seeing EVs scattered along the highway like so many discarded soda cans.

Not to mention it doesn’t take a full blown hurricane to knock out ELECTRICITY in a wide spread area.

I’m sure there will be no panic.

They had a choice, listen to 70 year old international entrepreneur or a 14 year old child. So they laughed and mocked Trump and went with the 14 year old.

Totally agree. Mass evacs will be disaster X 10 with dead EVs.

Now, check out this super cool Toyota Hi-Lux/Tacoma Torture Test.

How many EVs will be functioning after ANY kind of flooding test, much less one like this?

Plus, it’s just a super cool video.
2 videos, actually.

I can say at least for myself, this is a time of schadenfreude. It’s here already as well.

No. The deranged ones are those who laughed at Trump. Freeze your asses to kingdom come.

While I agree with you on these “politicians”, rude and unprofessional as they are.

But please consider that they are my country’s equivalent of the Obama and Biden administrations, and I hate to always have to apologize for these a..h...s, since I didn’t vote for any of them.

That is what they always have been - and allergic to soap, warm water or deodorant.

Haven’t heard much from that fat ass Frau Merkel lately. I mean she’s the one who thought the transition to unreliables from coal and nuclear was going to save the planet.

So how’s that working out for you Krautheads? Freeze to death in the dark.

There is a great book “Red Hot Lies” by Christopher Horner where he spend an entire chapter focused on the use of children as tools by the Left in the global warming hoax.

I wish I could remember his exact wording, but it went something like “They just can’t resist twisting their adorable little minds to further their political goals...”

Wait till the starving time come—even the newcomers will discover England can be a rough place to live without welfare or heat. Io the bit of money they are paid will be valueless in an inflated economy.

I had to go find it;, here are some excerpts:

Christopher Horner describes the Left engaging children to utilize their “pester power” precisely because they are more receptive to absorbing their Leftist propaganda and less able to think critically about the concepts. They attempt to turn them into little “Eco-Warriors” who will judge their parents behavior and lecture them on how to do better, comparing them to “The Spies” in Orwell’s “1984” or a green version of China’s Red Guards.

One prominent Leftist, Laurie David (Al Gore’s co-producer of “An Inconvenient Truth”) wrote an open letter to her children stating “We want you to grow up to be activists.” (Open letter reminding you to pick up your room to follow!). Similarly, the Somerset, UK County Council sent local primary schools an indoctrination team to scare the dickens out of children-sorry-to “raise the awareness of the urgency of climate change of kids ranging in age from seven to ten”. The council’s administration officer seriously spilled the beans by admitting “The goal is to inspire children to take this message home to their families, friends, and communities...” There’s nothing like starting kids off early on lifetimes of being friendless nags or insufferable at family gatherings!

Rent-seeking industries are equally shameless in their effort to create a league of wealth-fearing snitches. For example, European energy company NPower launched a campaign “to enlist as climate cops, to root out climate crimes, and thus save the planet.” This included color ads in the Sunday paper sections and, in a luridly designed web site mimicking the style of youth cartoons, it offers a bundle of downloads, including a packet of “climate crime cards” urging its recruits to spy on families, friends, and relatives, inviting each of them to build up “climate crime case file” in order to help them ensure their putative criminals do not commit those crimes again...or else!

Thankfully, or possibly, just wisely, the “or else” is left unspecified, but the “climate cops” are encouraged to keep detailed written records for a “climate cops HQ”. Aww, that’s so cute. So the crimes would presumably be revealed at your hearing. And, for those “climate cops” that successfully perform the missions set (or turn in their own parents) there’s the reward of training in the “Climate Cop Academy”.

LOL, he talks about the way schools have been leveraged by Leftists to twist the minds of children, speaking of one case: “Alternately, you might join over 3 million others and view a hysterical YouTube video posted by a high school teacher styled “Most Terrifying Video You Will Ever See” that, it admits up front, makes Al Gore and his fever dream look like a sissified Pollyanna. I had hoped that was some strange code for “dishonest”, but instead, it seems that someone who has custody of children for several hours every day finds Al Gore too calm and rational. The National Education Association seems inclined to agree. It occurs that a safer option to subjecting my kids to professional educators is home schooling, and by that I mean, sealing them in a drum with Alec Baldwin and a furious badger. Much safer.

It is a brilliantly written, and spot on book.

You need cheap fossil fuels to get to carbon zero (but not too cheap).
