Okay, so she did try to whitewash her accidental admission by switching it to “natural gas” – which is not much different, according to the climate mafia – at the last second. Still, General Motors (GM) spokesperson Kristin Zimmerman has become something of an internet sensation for letting the cat out of the bag that their new “electric” car is charged by a power plant that runs on coal, so basically, their new car at the moment would actually run on about 95 percent coal.
During an unveiling of the new Chevy Volt, Zimmerman demonstrated for the media how the supposedly “green” vehicle...

Coal fired cars. We need to focus on that whenever some zealot tries to sell EVs as "clean cars". No, they are not as clean as a gasoline powered car with catalysts and extremely efficient, clean, engine designs.
EVs are a joke, and the joke's on us all, and our WALLETS.

We need bumper stickers that say: America runs on Dinosaur Poop and so do Electric Vehicles! Go Fossil Fuels!

She tried to put a positive spin on it by speculating natural gas as the local generating fuel. Well done to whoever spliced in the follow-up question to the Lansing Board of Water and Light official who matter-of-factly stated that their grid is, in fact, ~95% coal powered. This is great.

Where will you get your electricity at night and on cloudy days when the wind doesn’t blow?
Is the plan to have to have coal and natural gas plants on standby when needed? It takes several days to fire them up so that’s a problem.
Where are you going to get more and cheaper electricity? I saw a solar panel guy explain that solar economics are better with oil prices high. But that does not explain where the solar/wind energy will be obtained in the quantities needed.
Also, what land mass is required to power the US with solar/wind when it is working? 100,000 square miles?

FTA "...Consequently, electric vehicles are nothing more than greenwashed virtue signaling tools to make climate fanatics feel as though they are better than everybody else."
Well that about says it all.
Why would you want to deliberately introduce so much inefficiency between the power source and the system being powered?
CO2 is not a pollutant no matter what a bunch of lawyers and bureaucrats say. A few hundred ppm either ways is not going to change the climate. Only Dr. Evil can do that.

GM is a horrible company who treat their employees shamefully so I’m not surprised the CEO is crooked. Their “health benefits” are worse than government health plans, far more expensive and less coverage.

Electric cars like golf carts and the little electric trucks that haul injured football players of the field have their uses. A neighbor has a Nissan electric which she uses as a grocery getter, but that's it.
She doesn't trust it farther than ten miles out and ten miles back especially when the airconditioner is needed and the headlights. I asked her about that and she said "I've learned the hard way" and walked away.

She starts with the standard airhead...."it comes from the building ", then he askes where the build fets their power, "....from Lansing Electric.....they are probably powered by......( horrible realisation) by (mumbling the bad word quietly) coal......they are heavily into natural gas." She lies, hopefully.
Then the Lansing Electric guy says - "We are 95% coal powered."
Coal powered cars... the EV.
Not green at all, just expensive and inconvenient.

Electrical power plants are %33 efficient at converting the energy in fossil fuel to electricity. That 33% drops by another 7% on average due to transmission and distribution losses (up to 14%). Car chargers take that down another 25%-30%. Batter losses drop that at least another 12%, and the car itself is less than %40 efficient. At 14% efficiency, internal combustion automobiles are around twice as efficient as electric vehicles. So you pollute the air twice as much, burning twice as much fossil fuel to moving energy through a much more complex and inefficient system to drive from A to B. Brilliant. That solves everything.

City folks think it is the end of pollution. The reality is they just our sourced it to we in the sticks...the keepers of those power stations that barely serve us.

Re#14, auto engines are far more efficient than your 14%, more like 30 to 35% efficient. Diesels, especially turbocharged large diesels are substantially more efficient than gasoline engines because of their very high compression ratios.

What? You don't have 8 hours to recharge your car to go 300 miles, or the $10K to redo your home to make it a charging station, not to mention the extra $20K for an electric car over a gas powered vehicle. I haven't seen any of the left actually driving EV's. I can't wait for farmer's experiences with the new EV pickups. Good luck with that!

The main problem with the Green Weenies is that they become so absorbed in the fantasy of a green world that they spend their college time carrying signs in demonstrations and are too stupid to understand anything presented in the science classes, if they bother to attend. This applies to new students as well as to older dummies like AOC, Algore, Jon Carry, Joe Biden, etc, etc.

More food for thought. You know all those taxes on gasoline? You don't currently pay the same taxes for the electricity you use to charge your EV. How long do you think that will last? Plus, the national grid will not accommodate the demand of a quick transition to EV's without a massive increase of coal fired plants. Not very environmentally friendly. What's the point then? The only solution is another 100 nuclear plants.

i daresay that the volt could garner a safety record similar to that of the pinto--i heard about that extravaganza of deception.

“Electric cars should just be rebranded as coal cars,” “The important thing is that our government overlords keep subsidizing electric cars, even though this very high price subsidy will achieve only tiny emissions savings,” This is insane even do her first answer was a complete lie, the plant runs on 95% coal! I mean it’s leftist logic, it’s not supposed to make sense. I’m so sick of people thinking electric vehicles are better for the environment. Yeah, they themselves as they drive are better than regular vehicles but the thing is, the power for charging and where the battery material comes from. Especially lithium.
