This is what they get for tilting at windmills.

Just imagine a typical short notice evacuation of Florida where most vehicles are EVs. The carnage would begin days before the hurricane reaches the beach.

Prepare for the deluge of vacuous op-Ed’s extolling the virtues of having less.

the green energy cult (it is a death cult based on terrible lies) will likely result in the deaths of billions of people around the globe as energy becomes less and less available and more expensive. This is an intentional depopulation schema.

Here we have comparable silliness in Blighty: Skidmore's Net Zero fantasies rubber stamped by HMG and the bottom drops out of the electric vehicle market: who'd have guessed?

So, in a few years' time, our increasingly crowded island paradise will be blanketed in wind turbines, solar panels, charging points , la-la land battery storage facilities-( still in the fantasy world peddled by our leaders) and vast housing estates mushrooming to accommodate the legions of young men now sailing to our southern beaches.

What could possibly go wrong in this gruesome green dystopua?

The authorities are saying that they'll control the climate by controlling you. But they can't control the climate, they'll only control you. Because that's their actual goal.

Good thing you have your Alpine redoubt. I want Germany to suffer from its hubris as a cautionary tale for the rest of us, but I hope you will be able to avoid it personally.

First post, want to see if it works...

I live in the "near north", in Ontario, Canada.

We are deluged with "Carbon fears", while all of it is utter BS.

Conservation is important, no need for Carbon Taxes, as I'm fairly certain that this taxation ends up in "general revenues", to be handed back to some special interest group with the latest "new thing".

I could go on, but I have to shovel some snow, not due to climate change...

It is January after all, up here we call it winter...

And we all KNOW when they have to “regulate” who gets to have power & who doesn’t, the rich neighborhoods & elite will not be going without power ever, it will be the poor neighborhoods that end up having “blackouts” more & more frequently as they continue to push EV’s.

Our current power grid cannot handle the strain if 20% of Americans get EV’s!

Also the companies are hiding the facts about how expensive it is to replace the battery in EV’s or that child slave labor is used in other countries to mine what they need for the batteries for EV’s.

Funny how the Left care about children of color when it serves their narrative but not at all when it doesn’t fit the false narrative their trying to push?

EV’s are not good for anybody or anything except to make it harder for us to travel very far from home without stopping to charge overnight every night.

Heavvens...I can't with this stupidity any longer, I JUST. CAN'T.

I have been telling Mr. Quakeress, proud owner of an EV, for f*g MONTHS that focus on renewables and focus on EVs does not work. For MONTHS. And now, low and behold, politicians also arrive at this not-so-brilliant-but-rather-logical conclusion. I just can't.

Funnily enough, in my community (chock-full with Green voters) lots and lots of charging stations went up - and guess what, some of them have been closed down "temporarily" in the last couple of weeks. Either the things are low-quality and go bust at the drop of a hat, or the commune are trying to lower electricity use through charging EVs.

Have some of you in Bavaria made the same observation, that charging stations in your area have been closed down (here, they've been covered and signs have been put up).

.... and here in the US, the push is on for all of us to transition to electric cooking stoves.. If you use a gas stove, you may 1) cause your kids to get asthma, 2) contribute to climate change, 3) contribute to illness in poor people.

Sigh, here we go again... fear tactics and pulling at your conscience. I'm curious to see if people will fall for these illogical reasons.

Why the push for all of us to use electricity all of a sudden? We have enough problems with the grid as it is! Who are the people making these bizarre edicts .with equally bizarre "logic"?

China is laughing its little socks off at how its 'green crap' subversion is going in the west, they probably never thought we'd be so stupid to fall for it quite so extensively.

All the poor dead birds under the windmill farms. When spring arrives and the bugs take over, people poison themselves with pesticide and never understand what happened.

Sounds like what Gavin Newsom is trying to set up with his industry buddies in California, too.

The game seems to be: instead of taking responsibility for an energy crisis and creating measures to actually deal with the real situation, just move on and force the entire citizenry to engage in unnecessary wasteful consumption to buy millions of new (largely plastic, usually made by big polluters) devices and when they see through the greenwashing, complain, protest, and threaten to elect someone else, call them "populists".

Still looking for any sign of that legendary German engineering, meticulous planning, and realpolitik in any of what's happening. Have they all lost their marbles?
