My guy, if they could do this 50 years ago, what can they do now?

Cloud seeding was one of the attributes of HAARP - they seed the atmosphere and then super heat the ions for the desired effect. If you're looking for them to admit they do weather manipulations VIA Google and Wikipedia, you're going to have a rough time



Also, this is normal - right?

I lease and I think the article should have been directed at the lies that EV RENTERS and owners tell. More inclusive that way.

I see how deluded some folk are. You don't have to lose your objectivity and sense of perspective just because of the powertrain you are sat on.

You cant charge without anxiety and at high cost as you don't have home charger and then insurance is astronomical. There are a lot of bitter pills being swallowed

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying?
This is clearly HAARP and geo engineering. You can watch the 3 minute video.

The government has been weaponizing weather since AT LEAST Vietnam - it's declassified information.

I guess the research project I participated in almost 30 years ago concerning potential off gas explosions with EVs in a home garage setting has come full circle.

Not a lot of options available except for to cave, or to call the cops (won't be "appreciated" by the gang) or to flee the area with what's left of battery power and call a flatbed truck.

It could have ended very badly for the one firefighter shown in the video outside of the house. The door hit him square in the head. If he hadn't been wearing his helmet, he'd be dead.

Is it the attachment to the ICE that tends to result in the acceptance of the idea that climate change was a lie, or was it the initial skepticism of climate change that turned these people off to the EV?

I think that people don't like things mandated by our .gov and meddling in our daily lives thinking (I use that term loosely) that they know what's best for us, one size fits all.

I saw this in a pro ev YouTube video(the fully charged show) ..the lead commentator was saying..

you create batteries it gets refurbished, repaired or recycled and you burn fossil fuel ..its gone..nothing.

I'm no scientist but I thought burning fuel makes co2 plants crops and trees absorb co2 and sunlight and create oxygen and then grow give fruits shade and nesting grounds and they die and get buried to create coal etc.
