California is a train wreck. The environmentalists won’t let power companies manage trees. Power line problems during natural wind storms suffer damage. Raging forest fires wipe out thousands of cars and entire towns. So, PG&E turned off the power. What could go wrong?
A new report on transportation and infrastructure has revealed an issue we’ve covered in the past. Electric vehicles (EV) can have a larger carbon footprint than those with traditional gasoline engines.
Since the imposition of Obama on the Nation, we’ve been forced to endure endless prattle over our transportation future. Part of the prescription includes electric vehicles (EV). And while there are plenty of problems, from economics to infrastructure, to practicality, the biggest one for Democrats is revenue.
In July 2015 Severin Borenstein and Lucas Davis released a report titled, The Distributional Effects of U.S. Clean Energy Tax Credits. It sought to examine the distribution of government handouts (incentives) to invest in things the government insisted would be better for the environment. The government is incredibly bad at so many things but thinking … Read more
Angela and Company put Germany on Energy transitioning hormones, but there’s a problem. Not much wind and not enough sun. And there’s no easy way to turn back. The nation’s last three Nuclear plants are decommissioning, which leaves Deutschland in dire straits.
A recent consumer survey revealed that 46% of US electric car owners wish to switch back to a gas-powered car. In an industry already facing hurdles with charging stations, cost, and public skepticism, consumer distaste over performance and a hefty price tag threatens to eviscerate future EV sales. Despite subsidies and claims of world-saving environmental … Read more
The past few years have been plagued by all manner of professional fearmongering, not the least of which is the overuse of the term forever chemicals. It got popular with the media and “activists” at the same time the enviro-radicals were looking for a way to reduce water consumption.
The House Energy & Technology Committee took up H.289 this week, a bill to ratchet up our current Renewable Energy Standard (RES) mandates – the amount of electricity utilities have to buy from so-called “renewable” sources – from 75 percent by 2032 to 100 percent by 2030.
A literal power vacuum—that’s what California Senate Bill 233 proposes. And what is to be sucked? Your electric car.
The New York Fire Department recently reported that so far this year, there have been 108 lithium-ion battery fires in New York City, which have injured 66 people and killed 13. According to FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, “There is not a small amount of fire, it (the vehicle) literally explodes.” The resulting fire is “very … Read more
There aren’t enough rare earth metals for the New World Order, generation capacity, infrastructure, money to pay for it, or time to build it if we could. So, are New Hampshire Democrats stooges of villains?
We’ve covered the issue of rising electric rates in the Granite State at length on these pages, and that’s great, but nothing hurts like the experience of opening the envelope and side-eying the actual total each month.
Electric vehicles are to modern America what hair regrowth tonics were in the 18th century. Piss with ink. EVs are a lie wrapped in shadows and penumbras of wishes and dreams without grounding in reality. They are worse for the environment, a terrible transportation choice, and not even Consumer Reports can’t hide that fact.
You may have seen pictures of an Auto club that has arrived with a gas-powered generator to recharge a motorist stranded in their dead Electric Vehicle. A priceless moment. But if we’re talking emblematic EV moments, this one is hard to beat.
If Western-Style Democracy is swirling the bowl, Australia is the largest turd about to go ’round the bend, if you take my meaning. They’ve abandoned all pretense, and even Bank Australia is getting in on the tyranny. It has announced that it will no longer offer loans for new gas-powered cars or trucks.
An auto club in Germany that claims 21 million members ran some controlled charging test electric vehicles to see how efficient that process was. The results put another nail in the value coffin. Not only are they expensive to buy and own, but the average charge also wastes up to 13% of the electricity.
Democrats are economic illiterates. It’s the only explanation why so many believe an economy they planned wouldn’t be a total disaster. Take energy. They made oil prices rise to make Electric Vehicles competitive before they had the grid bandwidth to charge them.
Local utilities serving the Granite State are preparing to adjust what they charge for electricity. The cost of natural gas has skyrocketed, and that pain is about to find ratepayers’ pockets.
There is an editorial over at Digger from a pair of Environmental stakeholders titled “Converting to Electricity is Common Sense.” The premise is that gasoline is never getting cheaper, and “Driving and heating homes and businesses are essential to Vermonters’ standard of living.” [so] “Converting to electricity is common sense in need of government support.”
As Joe Biden’s gas reaches for the Left’s price-point G-Spot the Twitter-titter of giggling schoolgirls has filled the echo chamber with the glories of Electric vehicles (EVs). Not so fast.
