I’ve recently come to the conclusion that all this push for EVs, “renewable” energy, and other initiatives to move everyone away from fossil fuels and literal “clean energy”, etc, is for population control.
Anyone who has been paying attention for a decade or more knows our electrical grid is in dire need of massive upgrades from coast to coast. Just look at California for the example…the rolling brown outs and issues with keeping things powered is only getting worse with the mandates to eliminate all gas powered appliances and water heaters. Now, with the addition of EVs how much worse will it become?
The Cabal is about democide/genocide and complete population control. They do not care if anyone can drive their EVs or heat/cool their homes, etc. Useless eaters are subjects/slaves not free folks and that’s the reason for the 15 minute cities/internment camps. What we are looking at is the unfolding of a dystopian reality so diabolical that even Hollywood would fail to write so well!
Excellent! Thank you. Great charts. I always thought Volvo was a sensible company that made excellent decisions. They did sneak a couple of hot rods through over the years, but pretty well grounded. Why then, knowing what they knew, did they decide to go all electric?
In the permaculture world, we talk about “embodied energy,” attempting to calculate the costs of all inputs to a given system. Some go so far as to include the cost of educating the designers, builders, etc. Vovlo gets credit for addressing this, especially including disposal costs. However, they seem to present wind & solar as some kind of magical source that required no fossil fuels to develop.
I wonder how long the average new car buyer keeps his new car before trading it in for another new one. And how many miles they average per car. I would guess it’s around three years/30K miles. So they never hit the sweet spot.
Great points Andy! Given the Law's of Physics and Thermodynamics, if everything was counted, the embodied losses are even more dramatic.Every process is irreversible, we can only hope to maximize efficiency, burning fossil all the way and creating waste heat.
The EV mileage factor you refer to is another net loser. Most people only take short trips in town due to range issues as I understand it. There are some references to this in the literature I have seen which will likely turn up in a search.
I think the objective is to.destroy modern society to save the environment...whatever it is they mean by saving the environment.
This is a great laydown of the Volvo study and yet another set of facts and data that is so easily accessible to demoralized climate cultists. If only facts and data could sway the true adherence of the Chutch of Carbon.
Talking about Green House Gases (GHG) implies that CO2 increase does really affect the climate change, global warming etc...but it does not. The author of that text should state "so called GHG"or " yet to be prooven GHG" to not be suspected of bringing a spin into his texts. Anyone that want to be taken seriously cannot compromise himself in such matter.
Climate, the movie, is a scientific documentary done by retired and therefore free speeking scientist of Clintel.
All the points below are spot on. Overall, the real issue is that the founders of the green movement, the billionaire philanthropists, and all the NGOs really despise mankind. In their value system, anything that changes, modifies, or even tames “mother earth” is evil. Hence, they’re against fossil fuels, but also against nuclear and even fission and the no carbon footprint at all (and dams too). What they loathe is industrialization and what we all consider progress. What we need to do is convince the non-ideologues that fossil fuels are a net good and we should put mankind first and foremost.
Great job cutting through the crap spewed by ideologues, green grifters, and know-nothings and ecofascists and billionaire philanthropists. But I repeat myself.
There's an even more important problem: Materials. Building the entire fleet of "technology units" that the IEA demands for the world to have an all-electric energy system with only today's demand (i.e., poor remain poor) would require six times more copper, fourteen times more nickel, forty times more cobalt, … than are known to exist.
Details in my book "Where Will We Get Our Energy?" Everything quantified. No vague handwaving. 350 bibliographic citations so readers can verify I didn't simply make up stuff.
Thanks for bringing out this study which has never received any attention from mainstream media. One thing to consider in the Volvo study is that break even mileage occurs at about the end of the batteries lifecycle negating any potential future gains whereas most ICE cars can keep on for many more miles with basic maintenance. Also the energy and resulting CO2 from battery recycling is not taken into account. From every and any perspective EVs are just a waste, of energy, resources, etc.
Really good points re. battery, appreciated. Less than "net-zero".
To your points, the battery issue for pure BEV is an especially critical vs. hybrid, as the ICE can take up the slack as battery efficiency decreases over time.
And about cars. Why are cars buildtas consumer goods? Cars build sensibly could have an almost indefinite lifetime and that would really limit the waste.
Alas, those steeped in the religion of climate change will never read or accept this outcome as it would require them to abandon long-held beliefs
Exactly Andy: "Destroy the environment to save it"
I’m waiting for some NGO to take that as their tag line
^Cult of climate change

Well said, great mini-essay!
Devolution and population control, but with a wildly absurd Destroy the Environment to Save the Environment push. Wack-a-doodle
Brevity escapes me from time to time (mostly, really 🤣)

Thanks for the excellent comment and for stopping by Lee.
USA and EU mandates have forced many manufacturers to go down this road (pun).
"Destroy the Environment to Save the Environment"
Actually destroy the environment and our economies to save the environment!
Aren't they owned by the Chinese, the very same who are close to dominating thr EV market?
Hello ED, Thanks for the comment.
They are unfortunately.

Stop by again and comment.

Thank you for reading and your comments, and yes, that is a great movie.

Hello Van,
The pipedream may be coming to an end I hope.
IEA has been co-opted on many levels, I am reticent to quote their statistics these days
