It has already brought two years of US malaise and an untold number of deceased Ukes and Orcs.
That remains counter to the goal of the current admins.
ActuallyâŚ.thatâs not happening.
Itâs clear that most EV batteries will outlast the vehicles they were installed in, and even then, they have a worthwhile second life before they need to be stripped down for recycling.
Biden wants to destroy fossil fuels world wide but at the same time wants more and cheaper fossil fuels before elections.

Clearly not since it is happening
Belatedly and grudgingly.
Better idea is to do the one thing they refuse toâŚamp up US productionâŚmade in America by Americans.
OPEC is saying Letâs Go Brandon with the cut in production. Brandon has no answer. He isnât going.
He even told the Mayor he doesnât do any such thing yesterday.

That whole election thing is a big problem.
ActuallyâŚit is and the data already in our history substantiates what I said. The fact is, I even expect it to get worse due to all most all manufacturers working on this and when one gets a breakthrough, the others will abandon where theyâre currently at, jump on board and all of those who purchased cars based on the older technology, probably wonât even have a battery supported by the manufacturer that sold them their car if it exceeds the laws regarding this?
Whatâs being said is a forecast and I am reciting actual history.

Yes, he is doing everything he can to lower gasoline prices before the election.
That includes draining the Strategic Petroleum reserve as a political tool, which will leave it empty for a real emergency.

I send you an article that lays out that batteries are lasting far longer than even the rosiest estimates and will likely outlast the car they are currently poweringâŚand you just ignore it and restate what what you initially said without adding any more information.
When you want to debate honestly, please let me know.
Are you that far gone? SeriouslyâŚare you? How â â â â â â â long have these batteries in your article been performing on the street, with real people using them? Huh? How long? How many? Who sold themâŚand when?
The article is mostly about Nissan who built an electric car that had very little range and didnât sell well. It actually set the market back IMO because of the stress it placed on drivers regarding their range and how far they had to go to be recharged.
Now theyâre up to a range of just over 200 miles which meansâŚare you readyâŚthe old batteries are now obsolete.
A classic example of this annoying approach is the 30kWh Nissan Leaf. Its battery pack, despite being exactly the same size and shape as the 24kWh one, is not backwards compatible with the earlier 24kWh Leaf. (Not that this has stopped enterprising hackers showing that it is possible to do so: see my article here.)

Just yours.
Letâs talk about anything except Brandonâs epic fail. EVs, batteriesâŚ

It is a political tool. Weâre getting more than our moneyâs worth for it.

Thinking further than the next election drastically changes whatâs important about the story. The whole world suddenly remembers that these clowns are part of the oil circus, and domestic alternative energy gets more appealing.

Since you have just proved you havenât read the article I sent you, I will ask you to read it first.
The answer to your questions were in the article.
Read it, and then we can talk.
Even funnier is the article you just linked here says the opposite of what you think it said.
So you donât even read your own articles.
Draining the SPR means that the US will be left with its pants down if Biden succeeds a real crisis occurs.
That is especially important given Bidenâs propensity to step in it and track it around. In addition to escalating a proxy war with Russia, Biden is spitting fire at the Saudis, and taunting China about Taiwan. Meanwhile Bidenâs Secretary of State is touting the wonderful benefits from sabotage attacks on undersea pipelines. Things could easily get a lot worse in a hurry.
But I guess favoring Russia high oil prices this winter is fine so long as it helps Democrats in November.
