Latest US Energy Chart Shows How Absolutely Foolish and Dangerous Joe Biden’s New Electric Car Executive Order is for America
By Jim Hoft
Apr. 17, 2023 7:45 am
Joe Biden’s handlers last week announced new regulations to force working-class and low-income Americans to purchase expensive electrical vehicles that will add more pressure on the already stressed US electrical grid.
The new rule is another step in eliminating the US middle class in America brought to you by the Biden regime.
Of course, the lunatics at The New York Times cheered this news.
The Biden administration on Wednesday proposed the nation’s most ambitious climate regulations to date, two plans designed to ensure two-thirds of new passenger cars and a quarter of new heavy trucks sold in the United States are all-electric by 2032.
The new rules would require nothing short of a revolution in the U.S. auto industry, a moment in some ways as significant as the June morning in 1896 when Henry Ford took his “horseless carriage” for a test run and changed American life and industry.
If the two rules from the Environmental Protection Agency are enacted as proposed, they would put the world’s largest economy on track to slash its planet-warming emissions at the pace that scientists say is required of all nations in order to avert the most devastating impacts of climate change.
What they won’t tell you. T

The DC and coastal elites won’t tell you that the cars will indirectly run on oil, gas, and coal. The energy source will still be fossil fuels. No amount of pixie dust magic energy production will change that reality anytime soon.
The elites are counting on the fact that ordinary Americans won’t be able to afford their own transportation. They have nor problem with this.
Energy expert Alex Epstein posted the uncensored truth on US energy production and use in America today. Another one million Chinese windmills are not going to make a dent in the fossil fuel reality.

Via Alex Epstein on Substack.
Biden’s proposed mandate of 67% EVs in the 2030s is a dictatorial attack on the American driver and the US grid that will
1. Force Americans to drive inferior cars.
2. Place massive new demand for reliable electricity on a grid that is declining in reliable electricity supply.
Biden’s EPA is planning to dictate new emissions regulations for cars that will increase the EV market share of vehicles sold from today’s 6% up to 67% by 2032.¹
1. Biden’s EV mandate will force Americans to drive more expensive, less capable carsIf EVs were actually as good as their advocates say, they wouldn’t require lavish subsidies—let alone Biden’s mandate on top of lavish subsidies. Forcing EVs = harming Americans
Trending: Royal Snub at King Charles III’s Coronation
Today’s EVs, despite promises that they would already surpass gasoline vehicles, are not cost-effective for the vast majority of Americans. That’s why despite huge government subsidies, only 6% of us buy EVs . Mandating EVs violates our rights and hurts the poor most of all.²
EVs may become even less cost-effective in the future due to rising electricity prices and growing shortages that are occurring as reliable power plants are shut down in favor of unreliable solar and wind, as well as increasing raw material prices (due to artificial, government-created demand for batteries).
Range issues and recharge times are a logistical nightmare, even if you can afford a home recharge station. This is why EV owners tend to use EVs in addition to gasoline cars.67% EVs would be ruinous for the poor and midd

The Great Energy Deception: The Truth Behind the $5 Trillion Renewable Energy Scam
BY NICK GIAMBRUNO
April 27, 2023
Did you know governments worldwide have spent over $5 trillion in the past two decades to subsidize wind, solar, and other so-called renewables?
To put that in perspective, if you earned $1 a second 24/7/365—about $31 million per year—it would take you 158,550 YEARS to make $5 trillion. $5 trillion is an almost unfathomable amount of money.
However, even with that astronomical financial support, the world still depends on hydrocarbons for 84% of its energy needs—down only 2% since governments started binge spending on renewables 20 years ago.
That’s all according to Mark Mills in a report from the Manhattan Institute, who concludes that:
“The lessons of the recent decade make it clear that solar, wind, and battery technologies cannot be surged in times of need, are neither inherently ‘clean’ nor even independent of hydrocarbons, and are not cheap.”
With all that in mind, it should be clear that so-called renewables—more accurately, unreliables—have been a giant flop. They are not viable for baseload power—even with $5 trillion in subsidies and two decades of trying. Today, using wind and solar for mass power generation is an artificial political solution that would not have been chosen on a genuinely free market for energy.
Wind and solar power might be useful in specific situations. Still, it’s ridiculous to think they can provide reliable baseload power for an advanced industrial economy. It’s like trying to force a square peg into a round hole.
As the banking collapse heats up, there’s no longer time to procrastinate about moving retirement to physical precious metals. Here are the four companies we vetted. They are patriotic, America First companies that do NOT donate to Democrats, work with the CCP, or embrace CBDCs. These companies actually love America and can help you protect your life’s savings.
Nonetheless, governments, the media, academia, and celebrities flippantly push for an imminent energy “transition” as if it’s preordained.
It’s shocking and depressing so many adults think they can magically change the underlying economics, chemistry, engineering constraints, and physics of energy production to suit their childish fantasies and political agendas.
Unreliables—i.e., renewables—will not replace hydrocarbons anytime soon and will certainly not bring about energy security… despite what many “serious” people believe. When it comes to reliable baseload power, most of humanity has only three choices:
hydrocarbons—coal, oil, and gas
nuclear power
abandon modern civilization for a pre-industrial standard of living.
Aside from friendly aliens delivering a magical new energy technology, most places have no other alternatives.
So, with Western governments intent on going green, sanctioning large energy exporters (Russia, Iran, Venezuela), and shunning hydrocarbons in general (ESG, windfall profits taxes, limiting exploration, burdensome regulations), it boils down to a simple choice.
They can either embrace nuclear energy—which has zero carbon emissions—or give up reliable electricity. I suspect it won’t be long before Western governments turn to nuclear energy in a big way for two reasons.
Rising hydrocarbon prices.
Concerns about energy security.
Rising Hydrocarbon Prices
First, a necessary clarification. Sloppy, vague words lead to sloppy, vague thinking. The term “fossil fuels” is an excellent example of this.
When the average person hears “fossil fuels,” they think of a dirty technology that belongs in the 1800s. Many believe they are burning dead dinosaurs to power their cars. They also think fossil fuels will run out soon and destroy the planet within a decade.

Yep, $5 Trillion and yet we're no closer to replacing fossil fuel with solar than we were 10 years ago, while many of the elites have syphoned off a good part of that money!

Yep $5 Trillion richer. And if you look at it on a global scale, that breaks down to:
$5,000,000,000 for 1000 people
.OR.
$2,500,000,000 for 2000 people
.OR.
$1,666,666,667 for 3000 people
.OR.
$1,250,000,000 for 4000 people
.OR.
$1,000,000,000 for 5000 people
So, who are the elites raking in all this money?

They are using geo-engineering to dim the sun, and then they turn around and sell you solar. Oxymoron, dont'ya think?
More sun and co2 means more plant life, more food. Less sun and co2 means the planet slowly dies. More people die from the cold, then heat.

ROFLMAO...
The "so called" experts are only experts at destroying society!
They're nutty at best, total lunatics at worst.
If they want us to eat bugs, then they need to lead by example and start eating them themselves first... (* CHUCKLE *)

I agree. Same thing for depopulation. We keep telling BillyboyGates to be the first one to check out to show us how it's done. So far, he's not listening.
