Imagine Florida with a hurricane coming toward Miami. The Governor orders an evacuation. All cars head north. They all need to be charged in Jacksonville. How does that work? Has anyone thought about this? If all cars were electric, and were caught up in a three-hour traffic jam with dead batteries, then what? Not to mention that there is virtually no heating or air conditioning in an electric vehicle because of high battery consumption.
If you get stuck on the road all night, no battery, no heating, no windshield wipers, no radio, no GPS (all these drain the batteries), all you can do is try calling 911 to take women and children to safety. But they cannot come to help you because all roads are blocked, and they will probably require all police cars will be electric also. When the roads become unblocked no one can move! Their batteries are dead.
How do you charge the thousands of cars in the traffic jam? Same problem during summer vacation departures with miles of traffic jams. There would be virtually no air conditioning in an electric vehicle. It would drain the batteries quickly. Where is this electricity going to come from? Today's grid barely handles users' needs. Can't use nuclear, natural gas is quickly running out. Oil fired is out of the question, then where?
What will be done with billions of dead batteries, can’t bury them in the soil, can’t go to landfills.
The cart is way ahead of the horse. No thought whatsoever to handle any of the problems that batteries can cause.
The liberal press doesn’t want to talk or report on any of this.
Now, tell me how much you believe this global warming crap and the billions of tax dollars the government is getting ready to spend on it.
My green Toyota Tundra would look good in that spot...if I can get it to fit with it's huge, ozone-eating, V8 engine...
Not so funny are prices on gas pumps.
But on pumps where I get gas are cut out photos of Biden pointing at the price and saying in a cartoon balloon, "I did that!"
Hope these two will hold you over till next week.
But it comes to mind with the pizza box warning, the intersection of stupidity with over-reach of legislation, the need to protect the willfully stupid, and the fashion of attention seekers seeking compensation for not being warned about eating cardboard.
The bread machine makes the dough easier.
