I agree with Fuddy. I already support the poor with food stamps, housing vouchers, public transportation, etc. Why do I have to do more than that? No one has worked harder to get out of poverty than me; my journey went from an American horror story to an American success story. God gave me a brain that I didn't and haven't soaked in booze or drugs. That was a choice I made very young; seeing two alcoholic grandfathers that never did anything for their families except lay the groundwork for dysfunctional children that became my parents. The chain has to be broken, and some will not survive; that is the only way to cure poverty.
We probably all feel that way, but do you really believe that an EV owner should pay NO road tax and a poor person driving a $1500 pile of crap should pay road tax? Actually subsidizing the EV drivers?
Sounds pretty heartless?

I believe the government is run by all rich men; and they do not eat their own. I'm just trying to survive and get through this life as it exists now. The last man that tried to save the world got nailed to a tree.

Meanwhile, the Bootleg Fire in southern Oregon doubled in size Saturday to nearly 77,000 acres in the Fremont-Winema National Forest, interrupting three electrical lines that transmit power from Oregon to California, energy officials said. As a result, California lost thousands of megawatts of imported power and struggled to maintain operating reserves as temperatures soared into triple digits in parts of the state.

And these guys want to go all EV

America's power grid is a hundred years old. Time for replacement.

Just charge your cars at Night !

Wait.....

US heatwave: Wildfires rage in western states as temperatures soar

"The fire was threatening power cables that send electricity to California. Power grid operators in California have urged customers to conserve electricity by reducing their use of appliances and to keep thermostats higher during the evening when solar energy is diminished or no longer available."

Say it Ain't So !


What some people don't realize is that even w/o Accidents or Equipment failures, transmission lines Have To be de-rated for high ambient temperatures.

Better get in line behind all the other “infrastructure“ improvements (roads, bridges, child care, free community college).
I actually agree it needs serious upgrades, but the power sources? I have different ideas. I want nuclear.

The Game.... actually, pretty simple.....
....................................................................................................
If you are a Peasant (like me), you are Expected To:

Save The Planet !

Pay Taxes.

Take Transit.

Save up to buy EV.

Not question any virtue signalling Directives that show up on your Personal programming screen/tracking device.
.....................................................................................................

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you are Not A Peasant:

Virgin Galactic: Sir Richard Branson rockets to the edge of space

Party On !

(I just now noticed the irony of the url .....science-environment...).

OK, I will give him this much.... most of the flashy bits are External Combustion......

But, the Not A Peasants have Responsibilities too ! They have to leave room in their yearly schedules to hop on their private jets and go to Davos and TED talks, so they can sternly remind us Peasants how we are supposed to behave.....
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

To stray slightly back on-topic..... I Don't Hate the Player - EVs - in fact I rather like them, for certain applications......

What I think of The Game..... ? My reflexive response I won't post, as it would only get me kicked off TBN......
