Loading ...Chevy Volt Short-Circuit: Virtue-Signaling GM Exec Gets Owned on Clean Energy
Then things went south when someone asked, “So what’s charging the batteries right now?”
Just to be clear, Zimmerman is no dummy. She has multiple degrees, including a Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics. As you’re about to see, it isn’t that she doesn’t know the answer — it’s that she doesn’t seem to want to admit it while showing off GM’s renewed EV efforts.
“Well, it’s here,” Zimmerman said. “It’s coming from the building.
When pressed, Zimmerman said, “Actually, Lansing feeds the building,” referring to the local utility company. “Lansing feeds power to the building.”
“I bet you they’re a bit of coal. Oh, they’re heavy on natural gas, aren’t they?”
No.
Peter Lark, from the Lansing Board of Water & Light, said, “Our grid… is about 95% coal.”
And there you have it, folks: The Car of Tomorrow, powered by the dirty fuel of 19th Century locomotives.
I don’t know, I am not a big fan of electric powered automobiles, trucks, and buses.
At best, small electric vehicles might be a good choice for golfing and local commuting in urban areas.
Then again, you can always use public transportation, a bicycle, or even your own two feet, depending on the distance.
If you need to go on a trip that is more than 250 miles from home, then what? I suppose you could rent a gasoline powered vehicle.
At worst, an electric car can catch on fire while recharging in your garage.. and maybe burn your house down.
How electricity got a reputation for being green just shows how stupid the Western world has been for decades. It might be funny when we hear people say that food is produced by grocery stores and not farmers but the same ignorance leads people to think (and to be deceived into thinking) that electricity comes from wires. And the same herd of people think that the government creates jobs and keeps the country going. It’s not hard to see how such people can be fooled about almost anything at anytime.
An excellent point well made!

Oops! The vehicle was a Chevy Bolt, not a Chevy Volt. Sorry for the combustion… err confusion.
Their ultimate goal is, they do not want us driving anything, apart from a bicycle.
The aim is to destroy the middle classes, to have a two class society.
Them, the elitists, and a slave class.
The slaves do not get to own a vehicle.
And they will be happy.
