And fewer grandmothers.

We need only 3 or 4 years. Just ask Al Gore and Greta Thuneberg.

Government competence restored!! Newsom solves the problem! Just like he and all the California politicians and CARB (California Air Resources Board) solved global warming via mandate: https://babylonbee.com/news/problem-solved-newsom-announces-plan-to-make-fire-illegal

I accept your feedback and acknowledge the frustration these habits of mine might cause. Many of the headlines are from a trade periodical called Automotive News - written by a bunch of journalists who have trouble with how conservative the sports media, college administrators, and DNC have become - which is a subscription only service. I actually don't get many of the full articles myself but I keep the email notifications coming to see the headlines. Sometimes I do contact others I know who have company subscriptions to get access to the body of the articles. When I refer to articles that are available to all I will be much more mindful to include links as a common courtesy. Here is the next link I was going to send to emphasize my EVs are RIch Boy Toys theme: https://www.autonews.com/bmw/rolls-royce/ane-rolls-royce-ev-expansion/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter-ANEDontMiss-20250109

Tesla learned to play the climate hoax game the best. Can't make money on cars but can certainly make money on credits made up by pencil neck geek bureaucrats that have zero impact (rounded to the 10th digit beyond the decimal) on anything to do with real physics. On this side of the ocean the climate hoax game is getting tougher for the hoaxsters. Remove the subsidies/credits/mandates/etc. and let the electric cars find their niche in the rich boy toy universe where they belong.

Nope. I was at more "horrible" high school parties and college sports victory celebrations than what happened on Jan 6th in terms of violence, destruction, police stand offs, etc. Certainly no security people waving in crowds of grandmothers who walked calmly between the velvet ropes were involved in those events.

500 cop smackings!!! This is the biggest case of police brutality brutalization in history!!! Jan 6th, 2021. The Most Deadliest Day. EVERRRRRRR.

Not new. Article from one of the leading democrats of his time over 30 years ago: https://nation.time.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2012/03/defining-deviancy-down-amereducator.pdf

EV leaders and at-risk automakers rapidly create alliances to avoid EU CO2 fines These fines are IMMENSE. Well over $1,000 per vehicle sold in the EU. Which will drive up vehicle costs, further decrease ability to pay (i.e. demand), lead to more job cuts, resulting in fewer people able to afford a car, etc. etc. This on top of the manmade climate hoax disasters driving up EU electricity costs to unimaginable rates and the recession Germany is mired in right now. There is no "normal business cycle" way out of this ideologically mandated calamity brewing. Some EU political peeps have to lose their jobs and fantasy policies rescinded very soon for further tragedy to be averted.

Don’t they need ID to deal Blackjack at the casino?

I wondered whatever happened to Pippi Longstocking.

A democratic election process to select a candidate to run for office which is ignored with impunity by democrats.

Haven’t been to jail. Thank you for the insider knowledge.

Right! Where do these geniuses think Barney the T-Rex got the carbon? Did he have a carbon generator hidden under his really short arms? The carbon was already here! Barney was simply recycling: taking carbon lying - or floating - around and using it then putting it back. Carbon fuel is organic for goodness sake.

"Much of this money can be saved simply by not being spent", Fisher said. “The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office is sitting on big piles of money,” “The government is throwing massive sums around, but the devil is in the details,” he said . . . "believed the purpose of these programs was more about rewarding friends than solar panels or high-speed internet or EV charging.” More Hoaxing with our tax dollars. Climateers, you can believe what you want to believe, make up fake science, drive what you want to drive, and do whatever you want WITH YOUR OWN SELF AND OWN MONEY. However, to use the power of the government to declare, force, mandate, regulate, spend MY GRANDCHILDREN'S MONEY, etc. is the hoax. The EPA, DOE(nergy), DOT, DOI(nterior), etc should not be used to bludgeon Americans and be crony reward systems.

Hoaxsters gonna hoax: "Biden officials have insisted there is “no turning back” on EPA-funded programs such as the $27 billion it dished out to nonprofits via the new Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund . . . has reported that much of this money has been awarded to outfits with strong ties to the Democratic party. “The situation at the EPA is troubling – it’s not an agency that is supposed to be in the spending, or giving out money business at all,” Bakst said. “It’s not like this is a small amount of money that the EPA is doling out, and much of the money is going to the creation of what amount to slush funds for nonprofits.”

Mark Mills, the Executive Director of the National Center on Energy Analytics (NCEA). “To pull this off, you would need something like $4 trillion worth of hardware, and that’s not counting additional power plants you’d need and the national grid to handle the expected growth in power demand. You’ve also got land issues – where are you going to put all this?” In other words, the national infrastructure plan rests on an “if we build it, they will come” dream, according to auto market experts and economists. Even the people at Climate Crisis acknowledged in November that “the dream of the $25,000 EV is dead.” Physics does not abide by mandates very well. Stoopid physics.

Maybe he is deporting all of the illegal aliens from the west coast to Greenland (they have environmental there, dontchaknow? It’s right in the name) and needs to send ‘em via the canal. Then, the next batch that comes along at the border he will just put ‘em on a train to Canada who seems to love denigrating America whenever possible, you know, like allies do. But first Canada must declare itself a sanctuary state and hate America even more than California does. It’s all basic logic.

I think it is more of don’t than can’t.

Call me Psycho. Nice Stripes movie speak drop. I actually have Sawyer cousins from Rhode Island. Absolute psychos.

This is the most reasonable and thought out mandate of this decade - perhaps of all time including the ten commandments. And will lead to less human misery than all of the other mandates combined.

Again we find the politicians of the EU coming out against the politicians of the EU. But the Euros still have no balls. Waiving fines does not argue against the fact that there should be none. It merely is asking for an indulgence from the pope rather than stating that the whole idea is corrupt and could only be propagated by a bunch of cotton headed ninny-muggins

Which is why we have sexist insurance rates that charge young men more . . . or perhaps that are based on actual science. And what the OP (I think you are referring to me in this case) means is that we don't need more dummies and that the lady in the video is a blowhard who is trying only to create hate and discontent where none is warranted. Women die at about half the rate as men on the roads of America. No more dummies costing millions of tax dollars "to study and develop" are needed. If the insurance industry or the automotive industry wants to use their shareholders' dollars to study and develop better dummies then let them do it.

Duke, Duke, Duke Duke Duke. Crash simulatons (FEA computer models) place the model for the 5th percentile female (i.e. tiny) and the model for the 95th percentile male ( i.e. gargantuan) occupants into the hundreds if not thousands of computer crash simulations run for every vehicle model. We don't need more dummies involved in this topic. Actual crash tests (not simulations) are used to validate the simulations. Those are extremely expensive and are mostly used to fine tune the computer models so more design space, options, conditions, and scenarios can be quickly tested for that itty bitty little lady.. Furthermore, we have real crash data. Lo and behold, vehicles are far safer for women than for men. Facts outweigh leftie sexist stupidity. Women are half as likely as men to die in a car crash. No more dummies needed in this conversation.
