Why have the coal plant use increased recently? see Germany. The automobile engineers and executives we talk to have done a big 180 on EVs.
The infrastructure here won’t support AC much less everyone having EVs. Maybe that ecosystem will develop, we’ll see.
It isn’t whether anyone wants to do it or believes in it, but it just isn’t feasible. Green advocates and environmentalist won’t allow electric plants to be built. Instead, they rely on people putting solar equipment on their homes. That works when the sun shines, but that power is unavailable at night. The grid fails when we have a heat wave or there is a cold snap, like what happened in Texas when the windmills froze because they didnt have de-icers. A sunspot shut down the grid in the north east. We have an eponential numbers of undocumented Chinese, Russian, Iranian and Afghan surging across pur border and an explosion (no pun intended) in the number of the terrorists on the watch list caught and “deported” (so they’re free to try again elsewhere?); they could destroy the power transfer system. Once everything is dependent on electricity, your choice is industry, home heat or cooling, food refrigeration, transportation, and so on. We can’t end the dependability of fossil fuel and put a load on a single source of energy that depends on nature, which is the very thing we say is unpredictable and being damaged. What happens if a massive volcanic eruption veils sunlight from reaching the solar collectors. Will the increased storm activity destroy the windmills. Electrical switches are not sitting on a shelf and therefore have a very long lead time. It takes energy to make the equipment. Our politicians are known to have brokered deals to sell off resources needed for batteries, 20% of our uranium deposits were sold to Russia by one huckster who financed the big Russia hoax against her opponent and half the country fell for it. Our windmill technology was outsourced to China. We borrowed monet then gave million to China as part of the stimulus package. Who is stupid enough to borrow money then gift money back to the lender - we are, we do it all the time, so is there a transfer fee that someone stuffs in their pocket. Apparently the public forgot how the transportation system was shut down three years ago. That was a warning, showing the power the importer has over our supply system. So all we have to do is just adapt. We can’t even refine the oil we pump out of the ground, instead we buy cheap Saudi “crud” then sell the US oil which is cleaner to refine. Blame who you want, but the people we elect are swindling us and yet we clamore for a single point failure.
In the Netherlands, the government is shutting down farm, because cow fart are dangerous to the atmosphere. In this country, China is buying up farm land. We’re watching a slight of hand here. Production is being monopolized by countries who say they intend to control us. Germany put their energy needs under Russian control when they were warned of the consequences. Our government emptied our oil reserves. Russia and Ukraine were not only nurtured behind our back with US tax dollars to swell the portfolios of greedy piglet representatives, were food production was taken over, but we depend on them for fertilizer as well. A $.99 loaf of bread is now $2.50 and I hear how things are getting better, so just dry the rain on your back. I’d be suprised if they aren’t making 155 mm artillery shells for $400, then selling them to us for $950. Then we give them one billion in aid, and sell the shelks back for $103.50, but we got to bail them out. Any way you view it, we’re runningboutbbut they left us defenseless in time of war. Look up the amount of fuel used per mile in a tank. Look at how much fuel a jet needs if it misses a pass on a carrier landing. So we turn to electric military vehicles. Batteries make vehicles heavier, so you’ll have to sacrafice armor. Batteries take longer to recharge. Fuel can be transported in barrels, while a vehicle has to be recharged by a diesel generator where it’s vulnerable to attack from air or artillery with all the equipment tethered to it like suckling pigs. Compare the time to recharge a tank battery to how long it takes to transfer fuel. Electo magnetic pulses . . . Save the planet while painting yourself into a corner. Call me a doubter. I want to live in a bubble and keep my horse.

100%, don’t know why R is popular…
He was pretty funny on NewsRadio 
I think that’s why people listen to him. A lot of times he speaks the obvious. Other time he just makes it up! You never know.
