My bff ran logistics operations for an NGO and her leader was a retired General. Said General went dark, 6 months, nothing. He's back. Acts incredulous that anyone ever thought he was gone. Logistics expert. Now we have coordinated truckers worldwide. Call me crazy, but i smell that NEW ARMY GEOTUS spoke about RISING....there are no coincidences!

A couple of months ago, I got one of Chevrolet's magazines in the mail. I was stunned to discover that they only offer two cars that aren't electric: the Malibu and the Spark. They have, over the last couple years, discontinued the Impala and the Cruze.
There seems to be a big push going on towards electric cars -- which I see as a recipe for disaster. There is currently no nation-wide infrastructure to support electric cars.
I've been wondering whether all of the woes the car companies have been experiencing could be a behind-the-scenes battle to disrupt the manufacture of electric cars and the need for lithium for the batteries. Just a thought...
not that I own an Electric but it seems like a good time to consider owning a horse
More and more, I'm beginning to think the Amish got it right. Kek!
Yes for most
It’s a good thought. They’re about 3 years into a 10 year plan. EHV components are a pain in the rear to produce. The units are heavier and way larger than a traditional alternator assembly. They’re also about 10x the cost to Ford, for example. Just because people at the top of the hierarchy think it’s a great idea... does not make it a great idea. I don’t think they have the details right on the tech. Stalling until the engineers get it right might be part of how they get around the system.
And, if there's any truth to Tesla's "free energy," developing lithium-battery electric cars may be a complete waste of time, effort, and money.
It's sounds like the Afghanistan pullout all over again. These people are idiots.
That is a very interesting and different take on a component of this huge machine that has so many moving pieces that it is nearly impossible to grasp it all. Thank you.
I agree with you that it is crazy to move forward with a green energy agenda that is driven more by politics then any real commercial and practical viability. This crony capitalism can only end in disaster. The infrastructure cannot handle this move and the available tech they are relying on is unreliable and inefficient - not to mention expensive. This is a plan of either complete morons or a very sophisticated organization determined to bring us to our knees. We see the same thing in health care - destroy the old system in order to have no choice but the government offering.
It all sounds so reminiscent of the former Soviet block. The government backed company builds an electrical product. That product is not of good quality because its production is only meant to provide government jobs. Any semblance of customer service is fruitless because no one really cares and couldn't do anything about the problems even if they did care. It doesn't matter anyway because the electricity that the product needs to operate is only intermittent and unreliable - also run by government workers. There are no other choices because all innovation and enterprise is squashed by a wall of bureaucracy and regulation. That scenario is multiplied across the country and leads to scarcity. But hey, everyone is in the same boat so therefore it is equitable - except for those behind the operation of insanity. Welcome to communism.
Which is why I'll not buy a Chevy product.
