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.

EVs, ICEVs, Repairability, and Outrage – Part 2
by Skip
Lloyd Alter at Carbon Upfront (heh! The “new” Treehugger”) is NOT a fan of the “Gigacasting” method that is overtaking the auto industry led by Tesla. That manufacturing technique involves high-pressure form/mold pressing of larger and larger parts for Teslas instead of press stamping lots of little pieces and then having to weld, rivet, or screw them all together.
Harvard Study Finds EV Charging Infrastructure is Unreliable – Including Home Chargers
Harvard Business School (HBS) researchers, yes, THAT Harvard, have found that “Electric vehicle (EV) chargers have a high malfunction rate” and that “EV drivers can expect non-residential charging systems to not work approximately 20% of the time.”
Night Cap: Another Bad Week for Big Green as Inconvenient Truths Come Callin’
Not everyone has been able to take advantage of the gobs of taxpayer money pouring between the seams to encourage the adoption of so-called green technologies. And it’s not because they aren’t truly green. Joe’s Build Back Better has beaten back business.
EVs Worse for the Environment Episode Number (…I’ve Lost Count)
Electric Vehicle owners continue to find themselves the victims of a massive global bait-and-switch. They bought the car thinking it would save the planet (jokes on you, fool) only to discover hidden costs, from insurance to longer and more expensive repair times, for a car that’s not really green, that isn’t running on green energy, and now this.
Progressive EV Mandates and Economic Reality
by John Klar
President Joe Biden advertised himself as a uniter of Americans but instead seems to have embarked on a crusade to unite government with industry. His disregard for the rule of law parallels an equally dangerous abandonment of fundamental free market principles via government fiat. The latest example is displayed in the administration’s emissions mandates for … Read more
As If You Needed Another Reason to Stay The Hell Away From Electric Vehicles
If you search the site for EVs or Electric Vehicles, you’ll find every reason not to buy one, and thankfully, we’re not the only ones pointing it out. EV sales are lousy in the US, which has to be why Democrat states are looking to ban gas-powered cars.
Trump Was Right — The EV ‘Bloodbath’ Is Already Here
by Op-Ed
Ever since March 16, when presidential candidate Donald Trump created a controversy by predicting President Joe Biden’s efforts to force Americans to convert their lives to electric-vehicle (EV) lifestyles would end in a “bloodbath” for the U.S. auto industry, the industry’s own disastrous results have consistently proven him accurate.

Fleets of EV Trucks Are an Impossible Dream
by John Klar
California has led the nation in a climate-saving push for EV tractor-trailer trucks to replace diesel power. Fiction eventually runs aground on reality, in this case, the economic, environmental, and scientific facts that the California Legislature ignored when it implemented impossible mandates for gleaming fleets of EV trucks.
It Hertz! – Rental Car CEO ‘Resigns’ After EV Fleet Fail
Hertz Rental Cars jumped the shark on EVs, going all in on fleet expansion, complete with ads featuring Tom Brady to promote the product. Not long after, Hertz discovered – you’d think they’d have done due diligence in advance – that EVs cost more, more to maintain, and are … unreliable. We knew this.
We Should Call EV Owner Anxiety Electric Vehicle Dysfunction (EVD)
The acronym E.D., which I have long referred to as Electile Dysfunction – the inability to overcome any number of voting-related irregularities needed to elect good candidates, is more commonly associated with erectile dysfunction, and to be honest, that almost seems like the same problem.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (3/14/24)?
by Judy Aron
We learned that the House needed a lesson on microphone etiquette. The General Court Technical Services (GCTS) Team came to work on the microphones prior to the House session and shared some tips and techniques with our House Clerk, Paul Smith.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (3/7/24)?
by Judy Aron
We learned that we had a full day with 52 House bills on the agenda but didn’t get through all of them. As the hour got late, we saved 10 for next week. We also learned that when Republicans show up, they stop bad bills from advancing and move good bills forward. Read more below.
No iCar In Your Future – Apple Cuts Plug-In Cord After Wasting Billions on Titan EV Project
Members of the Apple cult who were hoping to one day drive their iteration of an Electric Vehicle will be disappointed. After dropping billions into an effort to one day compete with Tesla Motors, The Tech Giant has cut the plug-in cord.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (2/22/24)?
by Judy Aron
We learned that we were able to get through reconsideration of HB154 (reconsideration failed), 44 regular calendar bills and 1 bill pulled off consent, between 9 am and 5:30 pm, with an hour for lunch (thankfully provided by the NH Nurses Association). Everyone was prepared to stay much longer into the evening, but speeches were relatively short, and we had a nice amount of voice votes on bills, too!
Has The “Success” of EV’s Caused Their Collapse?
The Electric Vehicle (EV) has always been a Climate Pootemkin Villiage. The mirage of climate activism incarnate. Unaffordable but to a few who expect those beneath them to follow their example. A class that forced car makers to build them and taxpayers to subsidize something with significant manufacturing downsides to the planet.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (2/8/24)?
by Judy Aron
We learned that State Representative Matthew (Matt) Coker (R-Meredith) officially switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. The Republican Caucus welcomed him warmly and looks forward to working with him to serve his constituents with integrity and conviction.
The Demise of the Electric Vehicle
by John Klar
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
Martha’s Vineyard Declared “Low Income” so It Can Save Money on EV Chargers
Martha’s Vineyard is a remarkable place—a quaint little island of elites where the median home price is around 1.5 million. Barry Obama has a massive estate there, as do many well-heeled elites (despite the alleged risk of rising sea levels). And now they are eligible for subsidies (your money, not theirs) to add EV charging infrastructure.
