Sure, you’ll cut costs on oil changes, but you’ll pay way more over the life of the car.
Electric vehicles are being sold, in part, on how much they’ll save people in terms of maintenance costs.
That’s a total con.
EVs are not no-maintenance or even low-maintenance relative to non-electric cars. They are different maintenance.
And they’re not cheaper to maintain.
On Thursday, as she testified before Congress, teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg, 18, who repeatedly has issued dire predictions for the planet, played psychologist for one Democratic congresswoman. The congresswoman, who has three children, asked the 18-year-old to advise her on how to deal with her 9-year-old daughter who bewailed, “The Earth is on fire and we’re all going to die soon.”
Canada will serve a two-year term on the Council, helping to ensure cooperation and facilitating discussions on the global clean energy future among the 163 member countries.
The provincial utility said it would participate in a solicitation announced by the governor on Jan. 13 for “transmission arteries to bring renewable energy from upstate and Canada” to the Big Apple.
I would not trust this man to run a hotdog kiosk.
The community of North Stormont, Ont. has repeatedly asserted its unwillingness to host the Nation Rise Wind Farm, despite the previous Liberal government’s attempts.
An Environment Canada report says while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax raised $2.6 billion in 2019, only $2.2 billion was rebated to households, small and medium-sized businesses, municipalities, universities, school boards and hospitals.
Canadian households subject to the tax received $1.97 billion in rebates, in 2019, the first year of the carbon tax in provinces where it applied at the time — Ontario, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
“Back in the last century, I spent a large part of my investment career packaging up financial assets, like mortgages, into bonds – securitisation. I was heavily involved with the acquisition financing of a US home lender… which went spectacularly wrong a few years later when we discovered to our shock and absolute horror – about the same time everyone else did- that all assumptions behind sub-prime mortgage lending were pants. Pretty much ended my career in big banks…
Sub-prime was a small, but very significant part of the ABS market. When it tumbled it shook markets to the core.”
And what it will mean for the everyday lives of Americans.
In light of the strong probability that a Biden administration will soon take office in the White House, Americans must prepare for the cold reality that one of Joe Biden’s foremost objectives will be to fulfill his party’s pledge to “decarbonize the power sector” by implementing “all zero-carbon technologies.” Toward that end, the Democrats will seek to enact a “Green New Deal,” the highly prized centerpiece of their environmental agenda. What, exactly, will that mean for the everyday lives of Americans.
Doom Goblin Greta Thunberg has giving her blessing to everyone who wants to fly in 2021 – even, or perhaps especially, if they are a rich, preachy, jet-setting climate hypocrite.
Interviewed in the Sunday Times (of London), the pigtailed, anorak-wearing school dropout tells a fawning reporter that she “doesn’t care” about “celebrities who talk about the environment while flying around the world”:
If all goes as planned, the US will eliminate all greenhouse gas emissions from its electricity sector by 2035 – an ambitious goal set by President-elect Joe Biden, relying in large part on a sharp increase in wind and solar energy generation. That plan may soon get a boost from nuclear fusion, a powerful technology that until recently had seemed far out of reach.
Researchers developing a nuclear fusion reactor that can generate more energy than it consumes have shown in a series of recent papers that their design should work, restoring optimism that this clean, limitless power source will help mitigate the climate crisis.
Like commercially viable nuclear fusion Biden’s climate goals are just the latest version of the “Flying car” or Pig for that matter.
UN eyes bicycles as driver of post-COVID-19 ‘green recovery’
….Public transport usage has fallen significantly as an increasing number of people choose to walk or ride bicycles to avoid crowded mass transits and follow health authorities’ advice for physical distancing. To respond to these trends, Milan, Geneva, Brussels and London have decided to invest in flexible bike lanes.
At the same time, more people are using their private cars to escape crowds. A return to the mass use of private vehicles will not allow Governments to meet their sustainable development objectives and the Paris Agreement targets, the Commission pointed out.
The new taskforce, launched under the Transport, Health and Environment Pan-European Programme (THE PEP) jointly led by UNECE and the World Health Organization (WHO) Europe, aims to resolve these concerns and develop a set of principles for green and healthy sustainable mobility.
You just know PM Asshat is on board with this.
On the latest episode of The Gunn Show, Sheila was joined by groundwater scientist and prolific author Dr. Jay Lehr to talk about climate change and global governance.
On Wednesday’s CBS This Morning, correspondent Mark Phillips devoted a full report to fretting that all the e-mailing and computer usage, as well as other ways people consume energy at home, is actually counterracting the environmental “silver lining” that liberals have tried to take comfort in during the pandemic as fewer people drive to work.
Canada’s Liberal government under Justin Trudeau wants to move towards not only meeting but exceeding its Paris climate accord targets. This month he’s announced an increase in the carbon tax and a new Clean Fuel Standard.
Environmental groups have lauded the policies. “This is a serious and well-thought out plan to achieve our 30 per cent reduction target, but we will need to do much more to fully decarbonize our economy, which is what climate science tells us is the way to protect our economy and ecosystems,” Keith Stewart of Greenpeace Canada said in a statement.
Others however have said it will also increase costs for everything, as everything is transported before it reaches the consumer, along with increased heating costs for a cold climate. It’s also likely manufacturing costs will increase and the costs will accumulate at each stage along the production and delivery chain until the product reaches the consumer.
