Just a reminder that electric vehicles can never displace the internal combustion engine due to their own resource requirements. If you think the price of gasoline is high, keep in mind that EVs have their own resource issues:
The price of gas at the pump has indeed doubled under the Biden administration. That’s all part of the Green New Deal plan to make fossil fuels increasingly expensive in order to make EVs and renewable energy more competitive in the marketplace.
But, here’s the problem with all of that:
During 2021, the price for lithium rose by an astonishing 477% as the resource became increasingly scarce;
The price for nickel has doubled in the past 12 months;
The price of cobalt has risen by 85% since last June;
The cost of all the plastics that go into an EV has risen with the price of oil, since oil is the source material for the plastics;
As a result, the average price for an EV in the U.S. has risen above $55,000, making them even less competitive now than they were a year ago.
In addition to all of that, EV makers and governments have been negligent in making sure the installation of fast charging stations has kept pace with the sales of their chosen vehicles. Thus, scenes like this one are becoming increasingly common:
But don’t worry, Elon Musk says help is on the way:
Here’s a true story: As of last August, when I was in Austin interviewing the CEO of a lithium mining company, Austin, a very liberal city of 2 million and home of Tesla’s headquarters, was home to exactly one - ONE - high-speed charging station. There may be more now, but certainly not enough.
“Working on it” is not an adequate response here if you really want your tech to take over the world, Elon. Neither is waiting for congress to pass a bill with enormous subsidies to pay for it all.
Congress didn’t fund the installation of thousands of gas stations all across the country during the 20th century; there is no reason why congress should be funding the installation of these charging stations in the 21st century. If you want your industry to succeed, Elon, you should be willing to bear the freight.
Enough about that. In other news…
Speaking of reminders, here’s a reminder that I’ve been telling you for 2 solid years now that this evil little Menace to Society will never stop until he is stopped:
Again, there will always - ALWAYS - be another variant of this man-made virus just around the corner for Fauci and his fellow Democrat brutes to use to exercise their power over you. This is not about health or safety - it is and always has been about the exercise of raw political power and control.
From our “Most Worthless Advice Ever” category, here is how the Democrat activists at Bloomberg want you to behave now in response to runaway inflation:
“Nobody said this would be fun.” Go to hell.
This looks like an opportunity for a little free kick target practice to me:
This is perfect:
This competitive, real woman swimmer has it right:
“Until we all refuse to compete nothing will change.” Exactly so.
You could put all the the people in this country who support the atrocity of having biological males participating in women’s athletics in the cab of a Tesla. But as things stand right now, these awful human beings are paying no price whatsoever for pushing this atrocity on the rest of our society. Yes, they are being facilitated by our utterly corrupt media establishment, but worse, they are being facilitated by the real women athletes who to this point have lacked the will to refuse to support the farce.
Ladies, these are your rights and the rights of your daughters and granddaughters that are being taken away from you by a tiny subset of a tiny sliver of our society. Unless and until you collectively rise up and shout “enough!” this will never end. It’s no different than the situation with COVID and Anthony Fauci.
Reka Gyorgy is right. Listen to her. Take her advice. Rise up. It should be painfully obvious by now that no one else is going to do this for you. Not your coach; not your school administrators, not the NCAA, not the U.S. Olympics Committee. Indeed, no one else can do this for you.
These are your rights that are being destroyed. Nobody but you can take them back. Rise up and stop this madness.
That is all.
Tighten that cable tie until it stops making noise. 6 to 12 minutes later, problem solved.
Back in the day, the fathers of these amazing young ladies would hunt this P.O.S. down (Lia Thomas), drag his sorry ass behind the wood shed, and beat the Sh*t out of him. He'd never compete again and neither would any other utterly contemptible sh*tbag contemplating doing the same thing. And not another word would be spoken about it. Problem solved.
