The Left coast is obsessed with greening the grid and mandating electric vehicles, neither of which is compatible with the other, the promised goals, or life in America. It is a problem.
The latest clash between climate ideology and reality – the requirement in the Global Warming Solutions Act (2020) that Vermont adopt California’s Clean Cars and Clean Trucks standards – is coming to a head. So far reality has been racking up the victories with the Clean Heat Standard for home heating now lying “dormant” as … Read more
With the Clean Heat Standard in a political coma and the proposed Cap & Invest program dead in its crib, the last global warming agenda domino standing is the Clean Cars and Trucks initiative, which phases out the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035 and starts limiting sales in 2026. And … Read more
The fires in California are not caused by wind. The fires needed a spark. The world is watching as: “the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet.” Gov. Newsom …fights to defeat the California fires, which some say were likely caused by “line slapping” or neglected utilities. I am inclined to question the oversight of California’s public utilities … Read more
Vermont tied its increasingly rickety wagon to California’s air quality standards for motor vehicles. Advanced Clean Cars II (ACCII) “requires manufacturers to produce vehicles certified to increasingly more stringent emission categories, according to schedules based on vehicle fleet emission averages for each manufacturer.“ Vermont legislators handed authority over Vermonters to wingnuts in California and they … Read more
For good reason, there has been a lot of focus on the supermajority’s intention to implement a carbon tax on home heating fuels (oil, propane, kerosene, natural gas) in order to meet the greenhouse gas reduction mandates of their Global Warming Solutions Act. The big vote on the Unaffordable Heat Act is coming up right … Read more

The nation’s recent deep freeze stranded many expensive electric vehicles (EVs) with drained batteries, often in front of charging stations equally disabled by the cold. Warmer areas like California, where some 39% of EV car owners reside, do not abuse their batteries with the harsh seasonal winters that threaten many regions of the nation and … Read more
We expect the lights to come on when we flip a switch, unconcerned with how the electricity is produced or how it reaches our homes. We are aware of telephone poles, wires overhead, and transmission towers, solar panels, and windmills across the countryside. But as long as we pay our electric bills, we trust electric … Read more
Pennsylvania’s Peter Brothers Trucking delivers goods all across America. Owner Brian Wanner says Pennsylvania bureaucrats now are driving him out of his home state.
Vermont is serious about destroying its economy and residents via meaningless reductions in carbon emissions. They’ve got commissions, committees, targets, and standards, so they’ve also got reports about how all that’s not working out for them.
A literal power vacuum—that’s what California Senate Bill 233 proposes. And what is to be sucked? Your electric car.
Before I impart the new bad news, yesterday, Rob Roper looked at Vermont’s ridiculous, misguided spending decisions regarding school buses. They don’t have enough drivers, so when they got some money, they ‘invested it’ in electric school buses (for whom they still don’t have enough drivers).
Climate Change isn’t just about changing the climate outside. It is about you changing the climate inside becasue of their claims about the climate outside. It is undoubtedly a mental disorder, but the inmates running the asylum will not be persuaded to stop the madness.
Electric vehicles cost more to insure. Minor accidents can result in damage that makes the vehicle unsafe or unrepairable. A parking lot fender bender could “total” your so-called green vehicle. But that’s not the only insurance cost driving up the price of EV ownership.
Folks who have dug in on the idea that Lahahia was leveled as part of a Directed Energy Weapon test or attack will see this as misdirection, but so will the Climate Cult Global Warming wildfire crowd. Maui County has sued The Hawaiian Electric Company for negligence.
Following the recent flooding throughout Vermont this summer, the state very proudly touted a response program that offers victims who lost or suffered damage to their cars the opportunity to replace them with an electric vehicle. Not an internal combustion engine vehicle, just an electric vehicle.
Long term readers remember that I used the website TreeHugger as a foil – going into the lair to counter their enslavement to the Eco-Gaia religion as well as being peachy with adopting totalitarian tactics by Government that ensures we all toe that GAIA religion of doing less.
As the Western World drives mindlessly into the fantasy of a false green energy future, shortages are a common topic of discussion—blackouts in the frigid winter, brownouts in the heat of summer. You’d be right to ask.
In January of 2023, the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® “certified” a new Smart Grid product line with the potential for EPA-approved partnerships to make fabulous fortunes under a form of “Regulatory Capture” employed over electrical markets.
