“New cars compared to 1970 vehicle models: 99% cleaner for common pollutants. New trucks compared to 1970 vehicle models: 99% cleaner for common pollutants. So why are the climate change fanatics trying to force us to buy EVs?”

“Converting” to Electricity is Common Sense? In What World?
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.”
Disqus Doodlings – If You Point Out Their Technological Delusions They Gat Mad at You For Destroying Their Narrative
by Skip
We are back to battling the Eco-Socialist’s over at Treehugger. This time, it isn’t so much the politics “of the thing.” Rather, it’s them saying something stupid about technology.
Note to Leftist Economic Illiterates – A Government Distorted Market is NOT a Free Market
by Skip
The Left continues to try and redefine our common language out from underneath us in order to push an Agenda. In this case, it’s about getting us to stop driving and to rely upon on the Government to provide transport.
Progressives in MA Wants to Drag NH Back into the 18th Century
California has set a goal of an all-electric car future despite its awful energy policy, rolling blackouts, and begging owners to charge EVs at night. But what About Massachusetts? They’ve made a similar leap, but they’re on the same grid as New Hampshire.
Disqus Doodlings – Do We Really Want Joe Biden in Charge of Setting Industrial Policy?
by Skip
Just unbelievable. Over at Treehugger (naturally), there’s a post “Biden and Automakers Agree on 50% EVs by 2030—Are the Regulations Tough Enough?”
DISQUS Doodlings – And With a Single Word (WuFlu) I’m a Racist
by Skip
I got called a racist. Not that it’s much of a surprise. It’s a typical argument ender by the Left when they have nothing better to say. They just can’t help hurling epithets, thinking that everyone else would understand that Their Emotions Trump EVERYTHING (see what I did there?); end of discussion.
DISQUS Doodlings – It’s the “How It Is Being Done” That Is Wrong. Right?
by Skip
Last month, California made the decision that it was going to tell the tide of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to go out and never return. Of course, this got much play – that only electric cars and trucks would be allowed. Petroleum-based vehicles would be illegal to be sold.
CA Green Energy Agenda Caused 50,000 Gal. of Raw Sewage to Dump into the Oakland Estuary
The left likes to claim a unique awareness of subtle shades. The many different choices between black and white and all the colors of the rainbow. Hogwash. The left only sees shades and colors when they parrot the party agenda. And there is only one shade of green, and it is just plain stupid.
California: We Can’t Keep the Lights On So Let’s Ban Gas Powered Vehicles
It is no secret that California is a mess. Crime, Disease, poverty, homelessness, and that was before COVID or the riots. The green energy also has rolling blackouts due to insufficient electric power, so what’s the next logical step? Prohibit any vehicle that is not electric.
Democrat’s Green New Deal Destroyed in Under Three Minutes
We all know that the Green New Deal is an economic plan to advance socialism and has nothing to do with greening the planet. But let’s be like Democrat leaders and members of Congress and play make-believe. Let’s pretend it is about saving the earth.
“Green” Cleaner Responsible for Blaze
Thankfully no one was hurt but talk about an eye opener.
Fire Lt. Kenneth Vincent said with the increase in people using “green” cleaning products, the number of chemical combustion fires is on the rise.
Those are two words that should make any Birkenstock wearing, free-trade-latte-drinking-tree-hugging-Kashi-eating-granola junkie shudder – ‘chemical fire.’
That can’t be good for the environment, right?
Happy “Dependence Day” Seattle – Your City Just Banned Plastic Bags
Nothing says freedom like telling your citizens or local businesses what to do. But Seattle is not exactly a bastion of Freedom and liberty. And today is no different.
The Seattle City Council has voted to ban plastic grocery bags.
This is another win by so-called environmental groups that claim the bags fill up landfills or in the case of Seattle, also end up in the water and threaten wildlife. There is no concrete evidence that if the plastic gets in the water it does any actual harm, but nothing else about being an environmentalist is based on concrete anything (including concrete) so why let that deter the assumptions. It’s for everyone’s good, right?
Wrong.
Take electric cars. The process of making the batteries is such a strain on the environment that the average electric car would need to run well beyond its life expectancy for any perceived benefit to outweigh the environmental costs associated with its manufacture. Wind and Solar farms likewise have costs (and this was before Democrats wasted trillions on failing companies that failed anyway) that seriously challenge the so-called benefits. So is it any surprise that plastic shopping bag bans are no different?
