THE DOWNFALL OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES?

[Mister E]

Western US at risk for widespread blackouts through dog days of summer

A report highlights elevated risk of blackouts across the western U.S. Energy sector stakeholders are exploring solutions in demand, supply and policy arenas.

so how do they charge the EV ? sleepy joe needs fix the source

This is not a one off. It’s the common scene in California.

some friends of ours drive 18 wheeler they was in calif saw a guy drive up plug in his e.v call a gas powered taxi to take him oh the errands

We don't buy amps, we buy power calculated as volt-amps.

But that has been presented to the world as what it is. I think it was what they believed at firs so taught that, and to me too. I know there's more to it now than just plain amps, because I've had a profesional interest in electricity for most of my adult life.

Now I'm no master of electricity, but it seems like it's actually Watts that they charge for. They list it at KW hours. 1000 watts is 1 KW. So a 1000 watt light which burns for one hour has used 1 KW hour of electric.

The volt-amps is accurate too, so I think it can be figured either way, but it makes into print on your bill as KWH.

They always made us attend classes for contiuing education, so many hours each year to get relicensed. When they had an electric class and taught us Ohms law, I raised my hand and asked, yeah but where will we use this in the field?
And his answer was, I dunno but you'll know it when you see it. (Lol)
Which is actually true, he just didn't know where it would crop up because he was teaching then and his field days were over. But I found Ohms law to be extreemly useful in the field diagnosing electrical circuits

Like for example: How many amps should this motor be pullng? The plate says 5.0 Amps. But my amp clamp was dead, lol. But I coud still measure voltage and resistance.
Voltage was 117 and the resistance was 11 Ohms. See any red flags yet? Lol.
So it was pulling 10 amps, twice as much as it should. No wonder I burned my hand, lol. The winding were burnt.

Electric and hybrid vehicles is a huge con game inflicted upon the gullible American people in the guise of saving the planet from global warming.

Sounds like a marketing add.

• Where does electricity come from? Answer: power plants run using coal, water, nuclear, wind, solar, oil, etc.

• Yep, I dont think I have met a person considering or owning an electric. CR not understand this.
  

  [*]Who has thrown environmental roadblocks for the construction of new plants and refineries?

  Depending on when and where you are talking about. The mostly conservative voting base in my area voted to not allow new solar and wind infrastructure. The natives in the northern US didn't like the key stone pipeline construction polluting their farm land and water sources.
  
  

  Answer: Liberals and socialists.

  I doubt the dude or dudette reading a book by Marx or Lenin has done anything impactful to the power industry. Most of the time it's just people not wanting stuff in their back yard voting it down.
  

  [*]Why is America not energy independent? This is against the interests of politicians of all stripes.

  Also because of complicated trade deals that are used to keep peace and favor internationaly. One of the main reasons Japan attacked the US during ww2 was due to us withholding trade.
  

  [*]What effect has current energy policy effected global warming? None. The USA is buying oil from countries like China who are using coal with little or no care about the environment.

  That is not necessarily true. Chine has a population that dwarfism the US, so the energy needs are way more impact full. Even then, the US still leads in many ways on power usage.
  

  [*]Is wind a harmless energy producer? It's good for the Chinese economy since they make the equipment necessary. Also, the turbines used kill large birds of prey like eagles.

  How many animals have died from strip mining and oil spills? There is always a cost, but we need to see whY the weight is.
  

  [*]Is solar a harmless energy producer? It too is good for the Chinese economy since they make the equipment necessary. Defections of light are known to burn birds in air.

  Same as above.
  

  [*]Batteries for electric vehicles are expensive to replace and expensive to dispose of in the environment.

  Same as above.

Carbon dioxide has been demonized by scientists. Greenery thrives on it. Why don't we just plant more trees? Photosynthesis turns carbon dioxide into oxygen. Problem solved.

The issue is that carbon dioxide is being pumped out faster than can be negated by plant life. It's like how water is good for you, but trying to drink a swimming pool's worth at a time is not good for you.

They would protest a strip mine in any state .

 

[jasonc]

In Florida ,after a large storm that does major damages ,I have seen it take years to repair or replace a roof .you would wait that long plus the time for solar replacement.

we need build more concrete jungles . take down all the trees there goes your air pollution. if a city would leave close to aa cre of trees in various spot of the cities the co2 problem would go down

 

[jasonc]

Florida ,where I live had more trees then it did swamps aren't known for trees .

I live in the sticks. The larger problem is that most pollution is created through corporate waste. It's easier to push the cost onto the consumer.

I live in the sticks also corp mess yes but if the big cities would leave a few acres of trees scattered around do select cutting .you cut the older trees down leave room for young trees to develop. God made a way to clean our air up . we have dnr epa but its full of politics

 

[jasonc]

It's a bit more complicated.

I'm not anti green space

God will patch up the planet leter. He would do it now...

2 Chronicals 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land..../

But that would cut into corporate profits so that wont happen and Jesus will do it in the millenium probably.

After all, when one goes to do a remodel job, the first thing to do is the destruction and removal of what is in place so it would needs be done anyway, lol.
