I think there is so much desperation for this insanity to end many of us didn't think things through.
I mean, I did get a ban for my usual comments, but it doesn't sit right. At all.
If it is the real Q, that suggests there has been a problem with the plan, that things have been delayed, or changed.
Alternatively, it could be the real Q, spamming disinformation and we're wasting cycles processing it.
Whatever the case, in the grand scheme of things, we've held the fort this long, if the plan is almost here, why would Q need to post?
I pray Q is an instrument of God. However, lets do a devils advocate.
We know the deep state uses movies to project their plans. What do all these disaster movies tend to have in common? A hero or group of heros who save the day while the people just stand around and wait to be saved.
So if Q is a pysop, then it is logical to assume the messaging would be directed at us. Would sing true to our patriotic ears.
So that’s what gets me stuck in a feedback loop: Either Q is the hero telling us everything is going to be okay, or Q is a mask of the villain, lying to us until we’re hopelessly ensnared it their web.
Jesus teaches us to put our faith in Him. That’s what scares me about some of the Q true believers. You’re so invested in the plan, that you’ve lost sight of the big picture, God’s plan is the only one that matters.
I pray Q is an instrument of God, that our world starts to go back to normal, that revelations doesn’t play out. If this is revelations playing out… do the math.
Batteries are part of the problem. The more crucial problem is the transfer of energy. Pumping 90L of diesel takes 2-3minutes and you’ve moved a megawatt of potential energy. Move a megawatt in that time frame is impossible to achieve at the automotive scale.
EVs have their place, are very useful, but until we can store electricity at the same density of fuel, they are not a replacement. Thus I agree with the assessment that the push to force ev is more about controlling mobility.
Some context if it helps. gas has an energy potential of ~9kWh/L. I think diesel is 12. If we could get 100% of the stored energy in fuel and convert it to electricity… energy crisis solved.
1994 Infiniti Q45 4.5L V8 ~12.5L/100km = ~115kWh/100km.
2008 Ford Focus ~7L /100km = ~65kWh/100km.
2018 Nissan Leaf = 18kWh/100km.
The internal combustion engine is at most 40% efficient when fuelled with diesel.
You make valid arguments in terms of resources to build the ev. However in the right use cases (like mine, 50,000km/year) it is massively cost effective.
You are absolutely correct that liquid fuels are the most energy dense fuels we have available to us short of nuclear.
If you want to argue about mining and resources, we have strip mines and gaping holes in the Earth for just about every other modern convenience. Thus, this argument is moot.
In 180,000km my ev completely paid for itself in fuel savings compared to the car it replaced (1994 Q45, 4.5L v8).
The economic argument is very narrow, there shouldn’t be tax payer subsidy on them, and they are a terrible choice for low mileage use cases. Battery life is tied to how much it gets used and if it’s properly charged or not.
All that said, I still prefer driving my turbo diesel when I can justify it.
From a technical standpoint, a powerplant is more efficient at turning heat into electricity. An electric motor is more efficient at turning energy into rotational motion.
The internal combustion engine sounds wonderful, has a soul… but is very inefficient.
There are already service bulletins and a number of options to deal with a non-functioning def system.
There are still a lot of pre-emissions trucks on the road.
It will be a serious problem for large corporate fleets but the owner operator will be in the position to make money.
GME to the moon!
I sure want to get paid... I know I'll use my tendies to build up my community.
