I realize there is a lot going on with rising tensions between Iran and Pakistan and the Houthis continuing to frustrate Western efforts to break the blockade of the Red Sea. I promise to address those issues in another piece. But I got to say something about the Electric Vehicle scam. It is bad for the environment. The rare earth minerals needed to produce these extravagances requires mining operations that exploit the very poorest people on the earth. And, despite all the nifty technology that adorns these electric vehicles, they can’t handle the cold.
If you don’t live in the United States you may not have noticed the brutal cold front that slammed most of the country. If you lived in Iowa, Illinois, or Minnesota you got bone chilling temperatures. We’re talking -7 degrees Fahrenheit ( -22 Celsius) and that is without wind chill. Guess what? It sucks to have an EV where you have serious winter. Check out this video of sad sacks:
William Levin, writing in the American Spectator, has written an excellent article that presents solid evidence that EVs offer a false promise of combating “climate change.” Climate change is another scam, but that is for another article. Levin’s piece, The Electric Car Con Explained, concludes:
In fact, cars (light-duty transportation) account for less than 5% of global energy demand, with U.S. cars accounting for 19% of the global car fleet, declining to under 15% by 2050 as car demand grows faster outside the U.S.
Putting these facts together, and they are indisputable facts, provides a stunning insight.
