By 2030 the Biden Administration is pushing for 50% of all automobiles to be on the road to be EV's while currently there is not enough minerals or metals to supply that demand by a fraction of what would be needed. The two major ores needed for EV battery production Nickel and Lithium are expensive to mine while Lithium is not even mined in the US, We must depend on China, Canada, or Australia for such supply. Lithium is extremely toxic to the environment and volatile. Some electric vehicles have caught fire while driving while others have burst into flame after a car wreck.

Hypocrisy

The current electrical grid of the US which is 100 years old cannot handle the additional load of EV’s recharging. One might recall governor Gavin Newsome begging California residents not to recharge the very EV’s he’d urged them to buy when the California grid was facing near overloads and shut downs. Rule number one-whenever you ask the government to solve a problem chances are it will only get worse.

The numbers don’t add up

To build an internal combustion engine car where the US has all needed materials it can produce while controlling emission controls has proven to be convenient, at reasonable cost, and using secure resources makes dependable sense. However, with the required material to make EV batteries that on a car will weigh 1400 pounds but on an 18 wheeler truck would weigh 3,600 pounds or three tons of vehicle weight is not practical at all. Recently an EV truck manufacturer requested a 5 megawatt electrical supply. City officials came out thinking it was a joke as the entire city ran on only 2 megawatts of power. When to make a car alone will cause 30 times the carbon footprint of building a conventional internal combustion car.

Unaffordable

Currently, a typical EV sedan will cost $60,000.00 in today’s dollar. Few Americans can afford that price tag. If the long range goal of the required EPA regulations of 90% of automobiles being EV’s by 2050 the estimated reduction in carbon emissions and pollution will only amount to .0003 in comparison to present levels of today. Remember that carbon dioxide which we need for the photosynthesis that causes plants to grow and coverts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Who knows what the cost of EV’s will be by then but one thing’s for sure the general public will not be able to afford them!

Terrorists couldn’t have done better job

America leads the world in such energy resources such as natural gas, coal, and was self-sufficient in crude oil production that would fuel the nation for the next 100 years at least. Yet, the Biden White House put a stop to oil drilling on federal oil leases, terminated the Keystone Pipeline, and has limited natural gas production. This has made the US dependent on foreign oil again with higher prices at the pump! The Saudis plan to cut production making even more expensive gas a real possibility as they look to end the US petrol dollar! Why? What kind of sense does this make other than a foolish ideologically driven myth of saving the planet? Our own government is sabotaging the American people!

Let’s review:

• Lithium is extremely poisonous and contaminates landfills as well as the water table. Lithium can cause sudden instantaneous combustion. Lithium batteries cannot be recycled.
• Building an EV creates 30 times the carbon footprint compared to the manufacture of an internal combustion engine
• There is not currently anywhere near enough mineral ore to supply future projected EV production and what lithium is available does not exist in the US making America dependent on our enemy the Chinese Communists or the Taliban ruled Afghanistan.
• The cost of an EV for most Americans is prohibitive and will only rise as the cost of living does too.
• The EV farce will destroy the oil and gas industry currently providing 9 million jobs!
• By 2050 only .0003 % of current carbon gas emissions will be reduced? Why bother? So the government will be destroying the energy industry, destroying jobs, and all for a form of transportation that the current grid cannot supply?
• What about AI robots used in the EV or electrical industry? Automation will continue to eat away at the human work force!
• Is this merely regulation designed to destroy US employment and industry for good under the aegis of saving the planet? It would seem so!
