Electric Vehicles

[Guest]

Our grid and generation capacity are nearly maxed out at present without significant EVs. and in many areas, beyond capacity, as evidenced by brown/blackouts, and bans on charging EVs etc. Adding more EV's will require more generation. Don't even include the current mix, since that is already spoken for.
Your very own NFU is opposing any future hydro, good luck building any more. Wind and solar are a rounding error. And as we have discussed before, solar is useless for charging an EV at home in the dark while the car is parked after work. Your environmental terrorist friends are all opposed to frac'ing all over the world, and have quite successfully stopped that in many countries/regions.

And in case you hadn't noticed, thanks to the failure of renewables, coal is making a real comeback the world over, in places like Germany specifically. It is the quickest scalable generation that will be used to fill the additional demand. Here in western Canada there will be more natural gas, but I assure you, emissions released into the atmosphere in Europe or Asia don't stay there forever.

oh, didn't know that , wonder why chuck never mentions that , he seemed to right up on germany?

California is a leader in renewable energy with lots of solar and wind power.

Actually they have surplus during the sunny hours but charge premium rates after 4:30 pm to try to limit demand when solar goes off line and base load plants take over.

In order to continue to reduce emissions they are banning gas stoves and furnaces.
Also banning gen sets under 24hp that are getting more popular for home backup when they brown out after sundown.
And many more EV's to plug in for the night.

So more demand for the time of day that they are already browning out with less future supply as they plan shutdowns of nuclear and gas plants.

Will it ever end or will people be happy in the dark?🤡🤡🤡

I see A5 doesn't want to defend his latest stupid idea that we need to keep burning coal to make it rain!

I can't believe anyone would suggest such a stupid idea, but A5 keeps coming up with winning ideas like we are going to run out of CO2 if we don't burn fossil fuels and we need to pollute the air with coal to make it rain.

Another looney example of scientifically challenged thinking from the land of milk and money.

Rain drops form on dust particles, search that...

While it is true that most of the human caused climate change theory has been debunked. It is also true that since the beginning of the industrial revolution all of the actual particulate pollution in the air has been affecting cloud formation, weather patterns , precipitation and moderating temperatures.
The effect was a measurable cooling on top of the natural climate variables.Since we have been cleaning up our atmosphere in the first world, it is causing temperatures to rise, and affecting clouds and precipitation.

You would think that our resident global warming expert would know all about this. By solving one actual problem we have caused other unintended consequences, as usual.

"most of the human caused climate change theory has been debunked" HUH? By who? Elmer Fudd?

Yup more laughable denial BS. But greenhouse gases continue to rise as do warming oceans and global temperatures.

But the flat earthers can't accept scientific evidence and make up stupid ideas that we need more CO2 and pollution from coal? LOL

Which credible scientific organizations are saying this? We are still waiting!

Are you for real or just really effing stupid?

More interesting observations

"there has never been a fossil found below 16000 ft . , and yet we are drilling to 28000-30000 ft every day"
there you have it folks
"fossil fuel" has been debunked

Been saying that, a BULLSH IT description. It's a hydro carbon formed under pressure....NOT a rotted dinosaur.
