Biggest driver of inflation

The WH says the Ukraine War. And Joey says this is all good in the end as it will usher in renewable energy and EV’s. But it’s not on purpose.

To quote the very non-political Mrs. Throbber v2.0 - "How stupid do they think we are?"

Inflation started in late February?

EV's are nice and all, but the EV equivalent to the vehicle I'm taking delivery of this week doesn't exist as of today, and when it does in 1 year it will start at a 50% premium over what I'm paying for the ICE equivalent. EV's are nowhere close to becoming mainstream for all.
 
Can't wait for the rolling blackouts when 50 million vehicles need to be charged daily using solar and wind power.

Let alone 280 million. Electrical production and the entire grid grid from the power plant to the home outlet would need to be massively modified. We do not have the capacity to go green. This is to prevent us from travelling. It's all about control.

I wonder how those EV harvesters and farm equipment are doing?
 
Yeah, the wheat needs to be in and you are harvesting from first daylight until dusk for days. Your harvester needs to be charged every 3 hours. Just need to buy three harvesters or two extra set of batteries, then swap out a couple of tons of batteries. That won't take any time or effort.

Members of the Green Religion can't be bothered with real world problems that their pipe dream will cause. They've seen it all work in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Nuclear power is the only answer. But the idiots shut that down years ago.

Assuming he believes this, he’s saying a bunch of dead kids and the destruction of a country is worth it.

No shit. We currently consume approximately (the equivalent of) 13.5 Billion kWh/day of gasoline. We also currently consume on average approximately 11 Billion kWh/day of electricity. EVs are more efficient than ICE powered vehicles, but still, even ignoring diesel, we would realistically have to increase our current electrical power generation and grid capacity to something like 150% - 175% of current to completely transition to EVs. The cost to do this would be crushing, and to do so without nuclear power plants is beyond impractical, a unicorn farts fancy feast. To tap into the CURRENT grid with all those additional EVs would be enormously stupid. Rolling black outs? Grid failure.

Don’t forget we need to remove dams on the lower snake. They are no bueno. More windmills along the Columbia is the answer.

Seriously? Did not know that. Gotta give it to the green cultists. They're committed. Replace perhaps the most "green" form of energy production with an impractical ideal. True believers.
 
How can EVs be more efficient than ICEs when the EVs have no lifetime CO2 advantage over ICEs when all the inputs are used? If they were more efficient, then the government wouldn't need to be involved in the massive subsidization of EVs and solar and wind power and the mandates that ICEs be eventually banned.

If they were smart about this, the left that is they wouldn't be pushing EV's, they would be pushing rail like Europe has...it is pretty slick, the trains go everywhere, but they still have cars as well, but much less since the trains are so efficient. Problem is cost, but they were just willing to spend 2 trillion on crap... well if they reallocated those funds to that type of project it would accomplish their goals and be useful... you still need airports because nobody is taking a train across county, but it would be very efficient to land at an airport like I did in Zurich and go right up in the mountains on the trains....

Now having said that I don't think the cost is even close to worth it as it would cost trillions, but if that is their goal, that's where they should start and it would work... the pocketbook would suck for a few years though.
