I'd guesstimate that the fires in California put out more pollution than all ICE vehicles for the next 5 years minimum. And it's still burning. Try understanding China and India are consuming more coal than ever in history. You need to get a f**kin' life dude. Seriously!

Ecocharger + 1,511 DL Saturday at 03:21 AM I guess this is what the future would look like with an EV fleet, a man-made self-inflicted disaster. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Fire-at-Huge-California-Battery-Storage-Plant-Forces-Evacuations.html "A fire at the Vistra battery storage plant in California, one of the largest in the world, has prompted evacuations for hundreds of people, and part of a highway was closed early on Friday. The plant contains tens of thousands of lithium batteries, which could be difficult to put out once they catch fire." "“There’s no way to sugar coat it. This is a disaster, is what it is,” Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church told KSBW-TV." Brave new world. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecocharger + 1,511 DL 7 hours ago (edited) The revolution in energy is about to begin. All hail the Energy Freedom revolution! President Trump will reverse the foolish and monumentally wasteful attempt by Biden & Co. to eliminate CO2 from energy supplies, a policy which served absolutely no useful purpose and devastated the U.S. national budget. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Trump-Prepares-to-Sign-Slew-of-Energy-Executive-Orders.html "President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to sign a host of executive orders related to energy in the first hours after his inauguration. Bloomberg reported that Trump plans to declare a national energy emergency right after he’s sworn in as part of his plan to boost oil and gas production." "The planned changes include...canceling the federal land and offshore oil and gas drilling bans that President Biden signed while he was in office." "As for the emergency that Trump is reportedly preparing to declare...with such a declaration a president can “unlock special powers over the transportation of crude and use authorities to direct shifts in how electricity is generated and transmitted.” "Trump said on the campaign trail. “We need double the energy that we already have, and it’s going to end up being more than that.”" "Another direction of Trump’s energy policies is cutting off funding for transition technologies, including EV subsidies...The president-elect has also threatened to ban offshore wind on his first day in office. Trump has called wind power “an economic and environmental disaster.”" Let Freedom Reign. Edited 7 hours ago by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
