Germany, like Vermont, has some problems. They are both scrambling to meet arbitrary and unnecessary emissions targets. Stop laughing; they think this is serious.

Lessons From the Eclipse – Electrifying Everything is Dangerously Asinine.
The total solar eclipse this week was totally cool, for sure. How lucky we Vermonters were that we could just walk outside, take in this once in a generation natural phenomenon, then pop back into our houses to resume whatever it was we were doing twenty minutes earlier.

Bad Roll, Or Bad Transportation Secretary
Typically, the average American does not know who the Transportation Secretary is. Still, in the last two years, our Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has been front and center far too often. We have had seven significant transportation-related situations during Pete’s watch. He has not handled any well.
Racist Roads
If inequity in transportation infrastructure looks like a distraction, it is. A made-up thing that, if it were real, would be the result of Democrat rule, which makes the Left spearheading so-called remedies that much more ridiculous.

I’m Flying Southwest……Maybe
Southwest Airlines grew from a start-up carrier back in 1967 to become the number-one airline in 2018. From that famous line in their early commercials, “more champagne?” to their catchphrase today, “your flight has been canceled.”
Fossil Free World is Folly
The idea of being out of “gas-guzzling” cars and trucks and into battery-operated vehicles by 2035 is foolish enough. The thought that our military can be carbon neutral at the same time is not only folly but is so dangerous to our national security that whoever utters such foolishness should be charged with treason. That … Read more
Reminder: We Don’t Have What it Takes to ‘Go Green’
The Left’s all-in or nothing attitude about net-zero is one of their more disingenuous screeds. They’re ranting like lunatics and making more promises than a used Electric Vehicle car salesman with no car to sell you. IN other words, what they say, can’t be done.

Trains and Trucks and Scandinavia Sucks
Fun fact, kids. Your Grumpy Observer has always been fascinated with the transportation and logistics industries. An intricate system of people and marvels, like the Antonov plane or Ro-ro vessels, all flawlessly coordinated to bring you your cargo, or in-laws, just in time for production or babysitting. C’est Magnifique.
Pete Buttigieg Represents Everything Wrong with Modern Politics
I don’t know anyone that works at the Department of Transportation, but I would really like to know the sense of trust, respect, or anything else leaders must have among their subordinates in his ranks. Framed as a question, how can anyone tolerate Pete Buttigieg?
Still Waiting for Advanced Technology for Transportation
I’ve been waiting since the 1950s for those personal flying machines Edgar Rice Burrows wrote about powered by the “9th ray” and the 1970s for electric cars which would actually be better, more cost-efficient than our still-better internal combustion engine ones to no avail so far.
How Would We Ever Know without Petey Buttigieg That We’re Doing It All Wrong???
