Get Ready!

Yep, zombies...the Zulu Alpha - Zombie Apocalypse.

Can't happen?

Guys, there are still people driving alone in their car with a freaking mask on - they are braindead... AKA zombies.

How they will put this in place ... Limit the amount of KW of electric per household... Perhaps allowing one enough to drive a car 10,000 per year and heat/cool a 900 sq ft home ... After that no more electric for you... Ideally they want us all in a mega city .. total public transportation no cars at all... The collective making every decision for you. ... You will own nothing and like it... China was a lot like this ... Communal kitchens .. 99 year leases on land ... The government to this day owns all the land and every home on leased land.. A new /old world order .. social credit scores running your life ...

The electrical grid cannot support everyone charging an electric car.

Even if you could wave a wand and install enough wind and solar to replace all the fossil fuel sources overnight.

Even if you waved it again and installed enough storage capacity to balancd the intermittent nature of both them and the load.

Unless you also upgraded all the power lines in every neighborhood, and all the substations in the country, you could not deliver that much power to homes for people to charge their cars.

To say nothing of what it would take to charge all the commercial vehicles. Suddenly the parking lot for the taxi company would draw more power than a large heavy industrial factory.


If you look at the fossil fuel power sources in the US you'll find out that the ones currently under hoods have a capacity orders of magnitude larger than the ones connected to the grid.


If everyone in your neighborhood got a plug in EV, your power would go out every night.

Agreed...but it is worst than that.

It takes 5 minutes to refill a liquid fueled vehicle.

To be able to accomplish that with an electric vehicle we would need an electric power plant in every town in the Country.

The Biden foreign policy moves we're seeing -- refusing to stop buying Russian oil, sudden outreach to Venezuela and KSA, the insane cave-in to Iran/Russia in the Vienna talks -- make sense once you realize Biden admin foreign policy has two inviolable rules:
Rule #1: get back into something that can be heralded as the Iran deal, no matter what. This is less a policy idea than a matter of Democratic honor – refusing to admit the failure of Obama’s major foreign policy goal, repudiating Trump, etc.


Rule #2: cripple domestic energy production. This is the foremost demand of the eco-activist base of the Dem Party. No matter how much gas prices increase, the admin will not budge.


And so the admin is left begging bad regimes for oil. It’s morally appalling, it’s nonsensical as a policy to reduce carbon emissions, but it pleases eco-activists. So it is done.

US strikes harder at Putin, banning all Russian oil imports

President Joe Biden has announced that the U.S. will ban all Russian oil imports, toughening the toll on Russia’s economy in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine.

Tesla has a practical solution for that with their mega chargers. The charger has a battery bank that charges slowly off the grid and can then dump the power into a vehicle quickly.

That works if you only charge one vehicle an hour, you can charge it in 20 mins and be on your way, and the charger will recharge itself while you're long gone.

But, the energy still needs to come from somewhere. It needs to be stored until needed. And you need a distribution system that can move it. None of which we have so much as a vague notion of how we would install at that scale.

And it certainly can't charge vehicles at rhe rate one a large gas station at rush hour does.

People forget that a tank of gas can't just be replaced with a battery. You also need to replace the oil well with a solar plant or wind farm, and the pipeline with a distribution grid.

So is that a battery bank type storage system or a capacitor type storage system?

Big Lithium Ion pack. Basically they're power walls in steroids.

Capacitor bank would be cool, but *very* dangerous at that scale. Not to mention expensive and large.

Careful...you're using critical thinking and common sense...you must be a "Putin stooge".

The farcical nature of the EV/eco-warrior/green mentality is actually the same one that was the driving force behind the mass formation psychosis that emerged from COVID.

It is the same people - now they're war-mongers and closet Nazis - actually they've always been Nazis.

It is impossible for them to see beyond their own virtue signaling and realize that their pet projects have little, or no, basis in fact.

They have no idea where anything actually comes from - just like buying neatly packed meat at the market - the work, death and blood behind that pork shank is unimaginable to them.

So, true to form, they don't see that things necessary to widespread use of EVs are not present as ore in the USA - copper (mostly in Chile although US has some large ones), lithium (mostly Australia), aluminum (mostly Australia), titanium (Mostly China).

And what about plastic? - this is extensively used to increase mileage of gas and diesel powered vehicles - it is also going to be necessary in EVs to give more range/charge.

And then there's all those charging stations - copper, probably some sophisticated electronics and....plastic. Somehow I doubt it's good practice to make charging stations with metal covers.

And plastic comes from.....petroleum...although I doubt these virtue signaling retards care if this is the source of plastic...they can't make the connection. It rattles their delicate psyches, like visiting a slaughter house.

And since they don't give a shit about Chinese human rights violations. I doubt they would care that many poor Chinese make a living like this...digging for plastic in dumps.

Economic Warning! Russia & Energy = Imminent Financial/Economic Disaster​

A troublesome shortfall in oil has been converted into a very real shortage that will translate into an economic nightmare. In this video I 'do my thing' and connect dots for you in a way that provides you with insights you can turn into concrete actions.

If you are a Leftist, your brain forces you to think in a linear fashion.
In the minds of the leftists, wars are fought over Oil and are won or lost because of the supply of gasoline.
If you switch to electricity and eliminate fossil fuels, it will mean the end of war forever. You know, like the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

Most Americans today have lived through two wars. Iraq and Afghanistan. If they watched CNN or other mainstream news, they may not have even known there was a war going on. They never had to make sacrifices, ( unless you were looking for ammo. )
This time. they are in for a major shock.
They will be running for their "safe spaces" screaming.
Totally incapacitated and shuddering with freight.
When they can't afford a takeout pizza or their favorite virtue signal coffee cup at Starbucks, it will turn them into zombies.
Get Ready!

I haven't noticed ANY change in the spending habits of any person since this heavier inflation hit. I actually see the very opposite. I don't see any signs that people are willing to be more self sufficient, or make any worth while sacrifices with spending.
These are the people still taking out those big long term loans for shit they can't afford. Going on expensive road trips and vacations instead of saving. Spending WAY more than they save also because their monthly expenses lead them to live paycheck to paycheck.

I still see coworkers spending $15-$20 on salads and $7-$9 on specialty coffees and shit, sometimes twice a day... it is so retarded. "well, you gotta eat, right?" lol

These are people that could even be considered "wealthy" too, except their net worth minus liability/debt owed shows the real picture. It's an endless cycle of bad spending habits and a lot of borrowing constantly. Meanwhile the homless guy with $10 in his pocket is richer than most Americans.

People need that new 30 foot high 15,000lb monster truck or the brand new bmw or mercedes that they can't afford, and they want it right fucking now!

"Linear fashion"; Democrats: a giggle, wrapped in a mystery, encased by a enigma.
Democrats accuse Republicans of being Nazi's.
For that to be true the Political spectrum would necessarily have to be circular instead of lineal.
