No, these people don't want you to have a car at all. They don't want you to fly either. They want those privileges all to themselves.

You're supposed to sit at home, either being 100% dependent on the socialist government or working your ass off at some mega corp to pay for those who are 100% dependent on the government.

That is just until they get a chance to begin their final solution to the Malthusian question

I had to be born in the timeline where a jew hobbit escaped from the chocolate factory and was placed in charge of the monetary system.

California's shitty power grid can't even handle air conditioning, much less everyone charging their EVs at the same time, and they plan to ban ICE vehicles by 2035.

Oh, and the state's on fire. Again.

Democrats are playing the forced subjugation game. Know what every single democratic governor of California was/ is heavily invested in? Foreign oil. Create the demand through government and sell the solution at premium.

Remember: It was NEVER about "green energy", its about limiting your ability to travel - to control you.

Its not incompetence, its MALICE - these people fucking despise you.

Don’t new forms of energy come about over time? Once something is more efficient than oil and gas it will happen. Stop forcing things. Also once we do mining in space that will provide a ton of energy

Don’t new forms of energy come about over time?

We had wood, water and wind, then coal, then biological oil, then petroleum and natural gas, but by the time nuclear came along governments had gotten just barely big enough to strangle anything new in its crib. So no, we won't be getting any more forms of energy; we're stuck with what we have and once we lose it, we're just getting shortages.

That really sucks because it doesn't have to be this way. We should be using more nuclear and there is nothing wrong with trying out new forms of energy but they insist on forcing it. Like I said, I think once we start mining in space that will be great.

It was called nuclear and "green" groups called it the devil despite the costs involved in rare metal excavations required for solar and wind alternatives.

This "crisis" shouldn't be happening because any sane civilization would have embraced such a novel form of power generation such as nuclear decades ago rather than listening to the loudest and most deranged voices whining otherwise.

Yeah but Chernobyl [and it's extremely poor management] and Fukushima [and it's extremely poor construction]! 🙄

Checkmate, Curiests!

Agreed. I live in Texas and they have some nuclear power for the grid but I think more reactors should be built

Nuclear is a dead dream. If government regulations didn't already kill it, demographic trends will make it infeasible. But we should be building more, at least then once we've been fully replaced in our countries, they will only have a few decades before the timebombs go off due to incompetence

More accurately, she wants you to buy an electric car that you will then be prevented from using.

That way she gets the tax on the car sale without having to bother repairing infrastructure - best of all worlds!

tldr; as part of the inflation reduction act we're going to make things more expensive.

Brought to you by the same people who redefined “woman”, “recession” and “transitory inflation” for political benefit

edit: also “vaccine” and “immunity”

You know how much red tape, delays and corruption there will be to mass upgrade our power grids??

There is one city in Quebec with water meters ( for commercial and industry buildings )

It was one of the biggest orgies of corruption ever and a total waste of taxpayers' money. The contract to a private company is ~356 million dollars. To partly monitor water consumption of one city for 25 years. The city itself is wasting at least an extra 67 million dollars on top of the contract to the private company, so 423 million dollars. TO MONITOR WATER CONSUMPTION. WTF.

Voting special funding to upgrade the grid and spy on your every power consumption habits to control you with changing prices by the hour will be just as bad.

Janet Yellen isn't an idiot. Shes super qualified for where she is, and unlike the VP and several other officials, she isn't actually a diversity hire.

Why is she saying these things?

Good question-

I assume the true agenda of all these green movements is massive power grab by the state.

We see in other countries that the Green party = Communist party
