Toxic plumes and neon orange bodies of water are quite an ironic legacy for “clean” and “green” energy—how anyone can miss a paradox that in-your-face is beyond me (but that’s beside the point).

Two stories out this week highlighted the growing concern over the “reckless” transition to the globalists’ vision of the energy industry: the first questioned whether or not public services were “equipped” to handle the unique “challenges and risks” posed when electric vehicle batteries catch fire, while the second covered a brand-new study published yesterday by Science Magazine, one of the world’s most prestigious, longstanding, and recognized academic journals (it first entered circulation almost 150 years ago).

A Toronto man hoping to make the switch to an electric vehicle was left frustrated after consulting and working with the city for more than a year and a half, only to have his request to build a parking pad to support a charging station denied.

Mark Bishop said he’s been wanting to do his part to be more climate-friendly and is actively shopping to trade in his gas guzzler for an electric vehicle.

They don’t want you to own any kind of vehicle.

A transition to an all-electric-car future won’t mean less labor but more—much of it overseas.

Many claim that the United Auto Workers strike is, at core, a reaction to an “inevitable” transition to an all-electric-car future. They say that this future involves fewer jobs because electric vehicles (EVs) are supposedly simpler machines that therefore require far less labor to build. None of this is true.

But before we puncture this myth, let’s first note that the strike, like so much in life and politics, is about money. The UAW wants a 40 percent pay hike—and you can see why, given the staggering amounts of money sloshing around the auto industry. Automakers are enjoying record profits, much of which, rather than going toward wage increases, is being used to offset the billions of dollars in losses from building EVs. And that’s the least of it—the really big money gusher is coming from the government in the form of direct and indirect subsidies for EVs and the associated infrastructures.
