3 Reasons There's Something Sinister With the Big Push for Electric Vehicles
[International Man] 25 refrigerators.

That’s how much the additional electricity consumption per household would be if the average US home adopted electric vehicles (EVs).

Congressman Thomas Massie—an electrical engineer—revealed this information while discussing with Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary of Transportation, President Biden’s plan to have 50% of cars sold in the US be electric by 2030.

The current and future grid in most places will not be able to support each home running 25 refrigerators—not even close. Just look at California, where the grid is already buckling under the existing load.

Massie claims, correctly, in my view, that the notion of widespread adoption of electric vehicles anytime soon is a dangerous fantasy based on political science, not sound engineering.

#2 Hanlon's Razor does not apply because we know they mean malice. Sure, the useful idiots they use are certainly stupid, but, the people at the top pulling the levers mean us great harm. I see you're back posting and still as non astute as ever.

#3 A Sr. firefighter in the Metro-Atlanta area stated, that there is a disproportionate higher number of EV fires to Gas vehicle fires in the last 3 years.

Given only about 1% of the vehicles in GA are EV , that speaks volumes about the safety of EV's.

#7 They dont want us to drive.
They dont want us to be able to flee.
EVs are to price us out of the car market and force us onto mass trans cattle cars.

Solo vehicler travel is White Privilege, a Western Privilege that must be curbed.
