They say it’s green. They say it’s renewable. They say that by the year 2050 90% of the automobiles will be electric. How will this impact the environment, the people, and the economy? In short, not in a good way at all. For us to buy into this malarkey we need to analyze the facts. As state and city governments plan on spending billion in electrical charge stations for a future technical status that may change between now and then? What if the state of art magically transforms after all of this anticipatory expense has been paid out along with the incredible deficits and taxes it will take?
Truth the Sword that Cuts through the lies
- Fact: To build an electric car a carbon footprint 30 times that of building a combustible engine is created. So, right off the bat you have just defeated the so called “Green” alternative.
- Fact: Lithium ion batteries are extremely poisonous. Landfills containing these remnants will not only remain toxic for a long time but they will contaminate the water table!
- Fact: Over 1500 pounds is added to the weight of an electric car just for the size of the battery it takes to run the car!
- Fact: These heavy and pollutonous batteries can need replacement as soon as 30,000 miles and the cost currently is $14,000.00 for the battery installation not included.
- Fact: Mileage will vary according to speed driven which will vary from driver to driver with a range of about 250 miles at low speeds.
- Fact: Recharging stations can take up to 45 minutes! How will this be convenient?
- Fact: In its present state the 100 year old US electrical grid is at the point of over loading with demand almost exceeding the full output of the utility capacity during daytime hours. It was almost hilarious to hear California Governor Gavin Newsome appealing to the very drivers he urged to get EV’s not to recharge as the California grid was at the point of collapse!
- Fact: At present there are not enough resources such as minerals and ore to manufacture the batteries and other parts that are specific to EV’s. We lost a great amount of that resource withdrawing from Afghanistan! China and Russia have the massive ore and minerals it takes but not the US. This idiotic EV con job is playing right into our enemy’s hands!
- Fact: Not many Americans, especially in the Biden economy, are able to afford a $60,000 dollar price tag. So, is this part of the plan to price individual car ownership beyond the reach of most Americans?
- Fact: Ion Lithium batteries are known for being unstable and capable of bursting into flame. Imagine driving down the road in traffic when your car catches on fire from beneath where the batter is at!
Conclusion
We have a continuing debate over carbon emissions which aren’t even the source of global warming nor is human activity, but the politics of green energy and the profit to be made by companies that cow tow to the pressure to submit to the myths of a green powered future seem to be too overwhelming. So, if they allow a teetering electrical grid to collapse is this part of the plan as well to de-growth and depopulate? It sure seems so to me!
