Listen to the DEMOCRAT selected Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Energy and know that this is all INTENTIONAL. There is a war on the middle class and on freedom.

Listen to the DEMOCRAT selected Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Energy and know that this is all INTENTIONAL. There is a war on the middle class and on freedom. They don't want you driving, they don't want you to be able to afford fuel to drive or heat your homes, yet there are no realistic alternatives being offered. Keep voting for the democrats and this is what you will continue to get. Small business are and will continue to shut down. Think about this next election before you re-elect your local democratic congressperson or senator "he/she is not part of the problem..." If they are democrats they ARE part of the problem.
I bristle at the claims that “most of the Democrats are actually moderate”. No, Sorry! IF someone is moderate and don’t agree with 9th month abortions, then voting for the Dems’ repeated stamp for it means they either agree with it, or they don’t have the integrity to stand their ground.
Either way, running our government is no place for them. And voting for these folks makes the voters only slightly less culpable- maybe just ignorant.
I’m in trouble with my retired pals’ breakfast group because right after the 2020 election, I told them “We’ll, let’s just hope that Biden breaks enough stuff fast enough that there’s no question about who broke it”. Since then they blame me for this exponentially exploding disaster.
(Don’t get me wrong: Trump lost me with the mega Sore Loser routine, but he didn’t do THIS).
Trump never had me to begin with. But his administration did some really great things and their leadership was vastly superior to what we have now.
Also, TDS is real and he never deserved that. The way he was relentlessly demonized for years had no ethical core; it was nothing but revenge for him stealing Hillary's dream.
Many Trump administration officials who resigned early in his presidency suggested in their resignations that trying to do any good as part of his administration was hopeless. The Left celebrated their declarations as evidence of Trump's awfulness.
But that wasn't what they meant.
What they meant was that it had taken them only a short while to become sure that the overwhelming institutional effort to undermine his presidency was insurmountable. Between the Democrats' constant efforts to undo the election result via impeachment, the 25th Amendment, or other means and the many institutions (FBI, et al) working to thwart Trump's every act as president, smart administration staff realized that they would at best be martyrs for their causes, not successful agents of change.
It is fair to argue that Democrats stole the 2016 election in that they never allowed the duly-elected president to exercise his office.
Absolutely! And PeteB or Energy Sec Granholm obviously don’t know that the electricity needed to charge the EV batteries needs to be generated - from a grid that’s hanging by a thread. Let alone all of the reality associated with the cost of materials of the EV Nirvana he spews.
For such elite geniuses, their peddling of fool’s gold “answers” is tragic, shameful, or both.
I really don’t know much about EV’s so I hope I explain this correctly.
Some friends of ours had out of town guests that drove a Tesla. I walked over one afternoon to see it bc I had never seen the interior of one. Very cool. The owner was using our friends garage for charging. He had had it charging all night and still didn’t get a full charge!! The owner explained that to get a quicker charge at home, you need a 240V plug since most plugs at home are 120V. The charging stations around town are not convenient to where we live plus they’re sporadic 😳
You do have it right, 240volts will charge a large battery essentially twice as fast as 120volts. That’s because what limits the amount of Energy you can move with your wiring is how much CURRENT (Amps) is being sent through the wires. That electrical Energy = Volts x Amps.
The EV battery needs a certain amount of energy to get fully charged. So if you supply it at 240volts, you can pass that maximum amount of current (Amps) in about 1/2 the time as it takes if it’s only using 120volts.
For extra credit:
You have circuit breakers (like the old fuses) that are generally limited to pass 15Amps unless the wiring is more heavy duty than standard house wiring.
You almost certainly do have 240volt power supplied to your house. That’s the voltage across the 2 columns of circuit breakers in the breaker panel. It’s just that any given socket in your house is only hooked up one one side of those circuit breakers except that you likely do have a couple of 240volt sockets, typically dedicated for electric stove, electric clothes dryer, or your central air conditioner. They have a very different plug than the “120volt plug” in your wall sockets. (All this is USA description: Brits differ).

Comedian Dennis Miller got it right when he co-hosted Monday Night Football: “Democrats and Republicans, now there’s a couple of 2-12 Ball Clubs”
I couldn’t agree more, Blue State Rebel.

They remind me of toddler's logic.
Great post. Have you ever asked a "green" friend where electricity for EV's come from? It's a fun exercise.

Quiz at 11:00 🤓
Haha. Not sure how well I will do on this quiz. You can go ahead and fail me now 😀
It comes from the wall, right?
Exactly!! :)
Wonder why flying is getting so miserable? They don’t want you doing that either. They are despicable!!
You're absolutely right!!
The more you’re home and on social media the worse you get and the more you shop online. I swear that’s why San Francisco is the way it is now.
