I agree about Musk. What covid fully taught me was trust no one in government, corporations, or msm. While I applaud his cleaning up of Twitter, he still seems to be full on with the whole forced EV scheme. Just like the vaccine which had no real testing behind it, why are electric vehicles being presumed to be the future when the obvious obstacles are so right there. It’s just Dystopian.

Here in Michigan and driving into TN, seeing solar farms popping up everywhere. Along with wind turbines there is no real practical large term use for these monstrosities, but they are being rammed down our throats and meanwhile nuclear is being eliminated all over.

They have tested the self-driving cars far more than they tested the vaccine. That doesn't mean that I want them.

Self driving cars are the least of my problems with ev’s. A huge battery that uses great quantities of mined lithium, can only run about 300 miles before needing a two, (hopefully in the near future), to eight hour charge, charging stations that will charge you to charge your vehicle, cold climates won’t hold a charge very long, and no one knows how long these charges will last. Can you see the broken down cars lining the roads? It’s ludicrous that we’re even discussing this as being practical or reliable. And the interesting thing is there are carburetors in use that will run for hundreds of miles longer on gallons of gas than what are now in use. Why aren’t those being developed?

Exactly, we are cutting our own throat by eliminating nuclear energy. Americans could be so well off and yet we let the Big Corps and the USG drive us into the poor house. This will go down as one of the most incredibly stupid periods in the history of the planet.

Mark Steyn likes to say that as a culture, we’ve become too stupid to survive. I would extend that to say we’ve become so wealthy we think we can ignore reality. I hope that now that we’re making ourselves poor again, we quickly regain our grasp of reality.
