Fact check: EV transition does not require every gas station in the U.S. to go electric Kate S. Petersen USA TODAY The claim: Replacing all U.S. gas stations with equal capacity EV charging stations would require significant resources The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes more than $7 billion to support the continued development of an electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the U.S. Recently, some social media users began posting criticism of a hypothetical scenario in which all U.S. gas stations would be replaced with equal capacity EV charging stations. "Fun EV fact,” reads a Jan. 16 Facebook post . “To match the 2,000 cars that a typical filling station can service in 12 hours, an EV charging station requires 600 50-kW chargers at an estimated cost of $24 million and a supply of 30 megawatts of power from the grid. For. Each. Filling. Station. In. America.” The post received over 1,000 interactions in five days. A Jan. 16 version of this claim on Twitter

The Electric Vehicle Scam

  The Electric Vehicle Scam by hoboken411 · Tuesday, January 18, 2022 No matter what you say to the lemming cheerleaders of “ renewable energy ” like the electric vehicle – they will never comprehend the facts. It just does not register a single volt of brain energy. The Electric Vehicle Scam by Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris The utility companies have thus far had little to say about the alarming cost projections to operate electric vehicles (EVs) or the increased rates that they will be required to charge their customers. It is not just the total amount of electricity required?but the transmission lines and fast charging capacity that must be built at existing filling stations. Neither wind nor solar can support any of it. Electric vehicles will never become the mainstream of transportation! In  part 1 of our exposé  on the problems with electric vehicles (EVs), we showed that they were too expensive, too unreli

O’Toole: The war on cars continues, but the automobile has already won May 20, 2022 By Randal O'Toole Last month, anti-automobile activists led by the Congress for the New Urbanism announced the formation of a national Freeway Fighters Network . The network opposes new freeways and freeway expansions and wants to shift freeway money to other forms of transportation. Among other things, they object to new freeway capacity because it induces more highway travel.  Also, in late 2021 the Colorado Transportation Commission adopted a rule change intended to divert billions of future transportation dollars away from building and maintaining roads, essentially turning the Colorado Department of Transportation into a statewide urban planning agency focused on public transit, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and even housing density. I have a message for these anti-auto activ

WEF Globalists Debut Their Perfect Future: Carbon Footprint Tracker, 'Re-calibration' of Free Speech  By Richard Moorhead  May 24, 2022 at 2:56pm Global oligarchs and CEOs arrived for the 2022 conference of the World Economic Forum over the weekend, held in person for the first time in three years. The annual conference, held in the Swiss luxury ski resort of Davos, has long been criticized as the embodiment of elitism in western politics. Dozens of mega-wealthy oligarchs fly their private jets to the conference, only to plan measures to limit the carbon footprint of the average citizen the next day. The globalist conference has long served as a venue for the wealthiest and most powerful people to plan measures to degrade the quality of life of average citizens — usually citing environmental concerns as a cover. J. Michael Evans, the Canadian CEO of Chinese Communist-owned Alibaba, bragged about the development of an “individual carbon footprint track
