I wonder how many cubic miles of horse crap would be generated in a month in CA if everyone who had a car in Kalifornistan now suddenly had a horse. Not that there are anything like enough horses and the ifrastructure to support a horse is pretty elaborate.

When you point out the obvious flaws with this plan. The left will have you arrested.
When 2035 is here and the plan fails, the ones under arrest will be brought out and flogged and hung.

This is one of the main reasons I decided a year and a half ago to strategize and implement a plan to go solar and make one of our two cars an EV.

Yes, solar is nowhere nearly as good as coal or natural gas. But one thing solar brings to the table is I'm the one that regulates it. It produces over 90% of the power we need in our all-electric home, including charging the EV (which we do most of our driving in).

If the Dims totally mess up the electrical grid by making it less dependable and still cost way more, it'll harm us only 10% as much.

The NWO already has alternatives of travel in mind for the masses, those who will still be alive in 2035 anyway. Alternative number 1; walk, 2; bicycle, 3; horse

Leftism is not about critical thinking. It’s about power grabs and tyranny.

Riding equines (or even bovines, i.e. oxen) is probably out; the left would deem that “animal cruelty”.

Government sucks.

Remember when London banned autos? This resulted in London cabbies using old diesel engines increasing air pollution significantly.

So let’s see how this works out. Lots of expensive electric cars that drain the grid. Brilliant!

Just when ICE engines run so clean one could almost breath from the exhaust pipe...
Interesting...

Oh yes, “congestion pricing”. NYC tried to do that as well, and it got nowhere.

Actually before you phase out anything you should have a valid reason to do so. The tantrums of a retarded teenage girl don’t strike me as as valid reason nor do the computer “models” that are massaged to give the desired result irrespective of the inputs seem a sufficient motive for the phase out.

I think buggy-makers and horse breeders are going to have a bright future. The old-timey wagons used for hauling goods from community to community will probably need specially-bred hours bred for stamina. The buggy-whip makers should also prepare to gear up production.

Nope - using horses for any reason is animal cruelty - horses, like all other animals, have rights too you know!!

Whipping horses will be a death sentence.

I think the entire EU is going to phase out before then.

Care to expand with some specifics?

The amount of work we have, without respect to going heavy EV, is ridiculous.

We are heavily undermanned, overworked, and old.

I try to push every intelligent young man to our business.
There is work until death.

I’m one of the few 40’s, most are 60’s or 20’s. I’m getting ready to spend 3 months driving down circuits for CM. (corrective maintenance)

I have an EE, this is “below me”. I don’t mind since I get paid the same.

Billions and billions are ripe for the plucking.

All “Green goals” will never be attained, it’s not reasonable.
They’ll just keep being pushed further and further out.

I’m an Electrical Distribution Engineer. I watch with knowledge of our incoming pain.
It sucks.

That’s right, sit on the branch and cut it off.

Idiots.
