Those EVs Joe Biden and Democrats promise will transform the climate? That EV you drive and think you’re saving the planet with? They don’t get their power out of thin air; in fact, they draw heavily on burning coal in huge plants to charge up the lithium batteries. In other words, electric vehicles need fossil fuels. They just use them ahead of time rather than in the moment.(Snip)One intrepid YouTuber didn’t necessarily create his latest video blog to prove that point, but he does have fun with mods on cars and took his Tesla for a spin recently. At least if an 1,800 trip can be considered a spin.

Comments:

You can use a very loud and inconvenient Rube Goldberg setup to take a long trip in a Tesla without having to make long stops to recharge, or you could simply use a standard car and go about your business like a normal person would. Politicians and celebrities encounter no such obstacles, with private aircraft standing by for long trips.

Tesla itself is a Rube Goldberg contraption as far as I am concerned. Just consider the coal fired acid smoke belching thermal power stations that are charging it but are absent from sight!

Final screens show "Actual fuel mileage", it would have been faster, cheaper, quieter, cleaner to have done the trip in a fullsized suburban...towing the tesla.

He has impressive engineering and fabricating skills, but is a member of that rare breed of innovators. What is he proving anyway with that demonstration? There’s no practical application for the average shmoo who needs to save money while driving.

Fifty one years ago I was part of an engineering design team that designed and built a hybrid urban bus. It worked fine, with an Onan diesel generator feeding the batteries, much like his lash up. I got a Masters degree out of mine, what does he get? Nothing new about this half century old technology

Sounds like a good idea. Get a tax incentive to buy an EV, then power it with a gasoline powered generator. The generator doesn't have to meet the same emission limits as an automobile. Doesn't even need a catalytic converter. You can even lighten the car and make it safer if you can remove the battery. It might be even better to use this approach to getting more value out of an old EV after the battery has died.

Hybrids make more sense than totally electric "EV" vehicles, but they too will have batteries that will no longer be able to hold a charge in a few years.... that has been the established EVIDENCE of what happens.... Amazing that the environmentalist wackos don't complain about the strip mining of lithium and cobalt mines.... those are finite sources-- what happens when those items are gone??? What will those too poor to buy those cars do to get to work, when the illegals take away their jobs and financial base of supporting themselves in order to make enough money to GIVE to the ILLEGALS???

A North Carolina mother read from a graphic novel found in her child’s seventh-grade classroom during an Oct. 12 school board meeting, according to video footage from the event. The mother alleges that the book “This Book Is Gay,” by Juno Dawson is available to seventh-grade students at a middle school in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. The book was allegedly found at Collingswood Middle School and allegedly on a recommended reading list at another school in the district. Before reading the graphic novel, the mother insisted children leave the room before she read a chapter titled “The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex.”(Snip)“It’s no wonder that 92 percent

Lisa Webb purposely sits with her back against the front of the Green Line train when she rides to her job at a north metro fast food restaurant from her home on St. Paul's East Side. From her perch, she's seen a woman stabbed near the train and passengers using drugs and smoking. Some she sees are mentally ill and need help. Webb, who must use transit because she doesn't own a car, minds her own business but admits she often feels afraid. "The cops," she said, "are barely around." Stories like Webb's have evolved into a widespread perception in recent years that riding the Green and Blue light rail

The Boeing Company is set to outsource to India hundreds of coveted white-collar American jobs, beginning this year, while making billions in profits from taxpayer-funded contracts with the Defense Department.(Snip)Hundreds more American jobs at Boeing are expected to be outsourced to India next year. The move comes as Boeing has laid off tens of thousands of employees and sent most of its high-paying American tech jobs to India.

The Adams administration has quietly tapped a City Council member’s wife and another top Bronx Democratic supporter to fill two, high-ranking, $177,000-a-year Parks Department jobs, The Post has learned. The Parks Department in August gave Jessenia Aponte, wife of Councilman Rafael Salamanca (D-Bronx), a huge promotion that comes with a $72,000-plus raise, naming her Bronx borough commissioner. In another under-the-radar move, the agency last month handed Anthony Perez, former executive director of the Bronx Democratic Party, the job of Manhattan borough commissioner.(Snip) “I just don’t get this hire,” said one city Democratic pol. “What experience does he have running parks–especially the ones

President Biden tried to generate some buzz for Democrats Saturday by making a head-scratching claim about tax credits for coffee machines during a flub-filled speech in Portland, Ore. Two days after new data showed consumer prices continuing to surge, Biden resolutely ignored the topic of inflation in a speech billed as “Remarks on Lowering Costs for American Families”—focusing instead on benefits tucked into his monster spending bill. “The Inflation Reduction Act has to do with your ability to get tax credits for buying—if you need a new coffee machine, a new washer, a new refrigerator,” Biden said.(Snip)Earlier in the speech, Biden appeared to blank

And we'll take whatever next steps we have to take assuming that he will fulfill his legal obligation and honor the subpoena, but if that doesn't happen, we'll take the steps after that," Cheney said.
