I think they can do that with AC now if you sign up.

Have been for years. When I ran a Kaolin mine we had to go to majority generators or shut down during high demand.  That has been years ago

Do not offend superior primates by calling them "boy."

 

You had a full payload of upvotes that were impurely allocated, and now they're gone, as might well be a coveted Plat/Rhodo/Chyr'mum status.

Climate protestors are on everyone's last nerve

 

Regular people going about their daily lives are getting a bit more hands-on when it comes to shrieking eel climate cultists disrupting commutes or destroying property.  [...]

As far as I am concerned, unless these climate protesters show us the ultimate devotion to their cause and completely stop their personal CO2 emissions, I am not going to pay attention to their antics.

And don't they have anything productive to do?

So when “experts” are wrong do we stop calling them “experts”?
 

Incredible satellite images shows how previously-drought stricken Lake Powell has risen by FORTY-FOUR feet thanks to historic winter storms

 

Earlier this year, experts said it was unlikely to refill for another 50 years after hitting its lowest level in decades due to droughts.

I don’t know, but by the looks of some of them, they are trying …

Scottish government axes 16 million trees to clear the way for 'greener' solutions

 

Since 2000, the Scottish government has felled around 1,700 trees on a daily basis, all to make way for "green" initiatives.  [...]

Yep, makes sense.  From what I have seen, the Leftist leadership in Scotland is pretty corrupt, so I imagine there was another reason for their actions.

Might belong in the Biden Tanking America thread as well considering the close ties to Biden's corrupt Energy Secretary, Jenny from the Block.  I also believe both Old Corrupt Joe, and Kackling Kamala have promoted this company.

 

Biden-backed electric vehicle company files for bankruptcy

 

At the time of the tour, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm held between $1 million and $5 million in stock of the electric vehicle company, The Washington Free Beacon reported, prompting ethics concerns and calls for her divestment.

 

Granholm raked in $1.6 million in profit after selling hundreds of thousands of shares in May 2021, months after she had first pledged to do so. She served on Proterra’s board from February 2017 until just before her Senate confirmation hearing in January 2021.

So will the EPA and CARB be interested in the overall CO2 emissions of EVs?  So far this has been ignored.  Reminds me of one CEO's words (I seem to remember Tavares), 'just because a government says it is zero emissions, does not mean that it is'.

 

New EPA Tailpipe Standards Call Electric Vehicle Promises Into Question

 

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ambitious tailpipe emissions standards may be partly canceled out by emissions earlier in the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain, said panelists at a RealClearEnergy webinar last Wednesday.

 

On April 12, the EPA unveiled new vehicle emissions standards under the Clean Air Act which would mandate auto manufacturers to lower the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from their vehicles to a company wide average of 82 grams per mile by 2032. Currently, the average passenger vehicle emits about 400 grams of CO2 per mile. Only one automaker, Tesla, would meet the standard today.
