Thanks, yes the article is behind the pay wall.
Califorian's are just down right stupid and I am at a point that I don't give a dam what befalls them. EV's are bad enough for the environment but Heavy Trucks with multiple huge battery packs is way worse. If you are electing ideologues with no grasp of reality, then you deserve what you get. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Couple points: Tesla Semi's battery weighs somewhere around 10,000 lbs Anybody got a clue about stopping a heaver Semi Truck? Electric vehicles suffer range loss during the winter. Electric vehicles suffer range loss during the summer. No viable way to recycle these massive batteries. Trucking companies will just leave California along with most business and and many intelligent people. |

And it begins.
Bank to Stop Giving Loans to Fossil Fuel Cars From 2025, customers of Bank Australia will no longer get funding to buy new cars that run on fossil fuels. So now banks are beginning to decide what cars we can buy and cannot buy under the excuse of climate change. Sounds more like CLIMATE COMMUNISM to me, or perhaps CLIMATE FASCISM in this case where a bank is behind it. But it would definitely not surprise me if the ESG score system is a major factor in their decision, I am sure they will get a very good ESG score out of this… If you don’t know what ESG is, it is essentially a score given to large corporations based on how much they follow the globalist agenda. The more obedient, the better score they get. https://petersweden.substack.com/p/bank-loan-cars I've moved my business and personal banking away from Bank of America over their ESG and attacks on small business. I moved my personal investments out of Blackrock because of Larry Fink's ESG push. In both cases the end result was better service and better return on investments. |

Never mind the current and recent/historic rolling blackouts and calls for curtailment already happening. Not only is the demand substantial, it's rapid. Instant and prolonged brownouts in neighborhoods will become normal. Imagine a world where freight can't be hauled on hot days to to grid instability. I mean, who need a steady supply chain? Covid supply chain interruptions were great for the economy, right? Quote:

No project is too stupid for the Greenie Grifters to force on us. How is that high speed rail thing doing? The 113-billion-and-counting Bullet Turkey.

My biggest concern is battery degradation. Not being able to charge your vehicle to 100% because the more you charge it, the more it degrades is asinine.
The equivalent ICE would be your gas tank getting physically smaller the more you drive your car. If you don't drive a Tesla, you're also pretty much screwed as the charging infrastructure is a complete mess. This is a fraction of the issues you can expect when charging outside of your house. EVs are a novel concept and I think for some families, they certainly do make sense. The lack of driver involvement is a deal breaker for me. I can sort of see getting one as a third vehicle, but there's no real use case for me.

As long as they can accept the damage they are doing to the environment and not think they are saving the planet it's on them.
