Tony Heller just did a piece on YT, where he told us of how petrol stations were shut down in his hometown to 'protect the climate'. The town also built a cycleway to the next town. You know, pouring asphalt through the wilderness countryside. What people now have to do, is make a sacrifice and drive to the next town to buy petrol - which increases the mileage in their cars (And of course they do their shopping there too - so local businesses whither, but I digress).
Of course the people are encouraged to 'go electric', but this just transfers their use of fossil fuels to a power station. Meanwhile, the cycleway is basically deserted.
He compares the sacrifices made for the climate to ritual sacrifices to improve the climate, when Europeans burnt witches because of a bad harvest, for example.
You know, when it first came out, I was in a blue city Portland. I thought about purchasing one. Then reality hit and I said, "Where's the charging stations on the freeway. I didn't see any. How am I going to drive for vacation to California or anywhere else?" They were all saying, "Oh, we will put ev charging stations on I-5, you will see them."
Next question, how about going to the coast, how about going to Bend or Idaho? "Oh, we didn't think about that."
I decided they are idiots and stop listening. My friend bought a hybrid and that was nice and I asked about that and was told there's a problem with replacing battery. Ok dokey.
I had two EVs one after the other around 15 years ago, both converted gas cars. They had a lot of lead acid batteries and I charged them at home. They were only suitable for local use, having a range of around 25 miles in the warm weather when the batteries were in good condition.
I also had a gas car for when I needed to go somewhere!
So environmentally friendly.

We are beholden to a bunch of IQ challenged, superstitious babies

Yeah. Gas cars needed. 25 miles? No thank you.
Thanks for the info though.
They were fun and easy to drive and the second one was fast. I was trying to get away from gas because of peak oil. I guess they lied to us again.
