For Most Americans, The Idea Of Buying An Electric Car Is A Joke

  For Most Americans, The Idea Of Buying An Electric Car Is A Joke   Electric vehicle industry promoters are absolutely  crowing  about recent data showing record sales for non-hybrid electric vehicles. In the first half of 2022, these electric vehicles made up  5.46%  of all new car sales, while sales of hybrids declined. For comparison, electric vehicles made up just 2.7% of all car sales in the second quarter of 2021. [bold, links added] Since the beginning of the pandemic, overall car sales have  fallen  drastically. Over 17 million new cars were sold each year from 2015 to 2019. The year 2020 saw sales fall to 14.7 million and a mere 12.28 million were sold in 2021. Currently, we are on track to roughly match the 2021 sales number.  The motivation for this increase in purchases of EVs is nothing less than the largest, most coordinated effort on the part of the federal government to shift consumer behavior via market manipulat

Reality

  Reality Armageddon is on its way............those of you that think electric vehicles are the answer- this is a true story from a farmer in the Midwest- and I’m reposting it- A close friend farms over 10,000 acres of corn in the mid-west. The property is spread out over 3 counties. His operation is a "partnership farm" with John Deere. They use the larger farm operations as demonstration projects for promotion and development of new equipment. He recently received a phone call from his John Deere representative, and they want the farm to go to electric tractors and combines in 2023. He currently has 5 diesel combines that cost $900,000 each that are traded in every 3 years. Also, over 10 really BIG tractors. JD wants him to go all electric soon. He said: "Ok, I have some questions. How do I charge these combines when they are 3 counties away from the shop in the middle of a cornfield, in the middle of nowhere?" "How do I run them 24 hours a day for 10 or 12 d

Newsom pushes desalination, rain capture, cutting red tape, as California dries out

  Newsom pushes desalination, rain capture, cutting red tape, as California dries out California anticipates losing 10% of its water supply by 2040. By Madison Hirneisen Updated: August 12, 2022 - 12:52am In anticipation of California losing 10% of its water supply by 2040, Gov. Gavin Newsom and state water officials unveiled a multi-pronged plan Thursday to adapt to hotter conditions and bolster the Golden State’s water supply in the coming years. The 16-page plan outlines goals to target the state’s water supply by developing additional space to capture and store water, diversifying the

The Basic Math Problem that Undoes Global Warming Hysteria

  The Basic Math Problem that Undoes Global Warming Hysteria By Maker S. Mark If someone proposes a solution to an "existential problem" that has no chance of success, should we be forced to take the problem seriously? If the climate alarmists truly believe there is a climate emergency, then they should be able to answer the first basic question about "the plan."  Are the numbers in the plan even remotely achievable?  Remember: based on their screeching, we have only twelve years before we all die from "man-made climate change." To answer that question, let's break part of the plan into the most basic math problem: can we replace 25%, 50%, or 75% of the cars on the road in ten years?  To understand the theoretical possibility, we will s

Tonga eruption sent enough water to fill 58,000 Olympic pools into the atmosphere

  Tonga eruption sent enough water to fill 58,000 Olympic pools into the atmosphere The event is expected to warm up the Earth temporarily. Ameya Paleja Created: Aug 4, 2022 3:49 AM Umbrella cloud generated by the underwater eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on Jan. 15, 2022. NASA Earth Observatory image by Joshua Stevens The Tonga eruption was 500 times more powerful than Hirsoshima. Water vapor was detected by NASA's Aura satellite. Water content is expected to temporarily warm up the Earth. When the undersea Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted near Tonga earlier this year, the shock sent 146 teragrams of water vapor into the stratosphere, a recently published study by NASA scientists said. A teragram of water is equal to a trillion grams. The volcano eruption that made headlines earlier this year was 500 times more powerful than the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and cut off the island nation from the rest of the world for over a month.
