Keep your vehicles fueled up and if you can't bolt on a secondary tank or oversized tank, keep enough 20 litre tanks to go towards your destination.

Make no bones about it.

They WILL shut off fuel and try to stop road traffic.

They want us dead.

Net zero is such a totalitarian red herring.  The UK is going full evil shithole with the government banning the advertising of cheese because supposedly cheese is bad for the environment.  They want to ban your car, they want to ban me at for most people, they want to ban you traveling, they want to dictate how much energy you can use and if you use to much then you get cut off.  No heating in winter for you.  Hell, they even want to limit how many clothes you are allowed to buy; seriously, they are demanding you only get to buy eight new clothing items per year.

How can people vote for these idiots?

They literally are saying by 2030 people should only be allowed to eat 1.5 oz of meat per day.

The scariest consequence of the net zero obsession will be the global food supply.

Even George Orwell could not have imagined that.

They openly say they want central bank digital currencies so they can monitor every financial transaction and even block transactions if they don't like what you are buying.

Do you notice how world wide, at least in the western world, the WEF is pushing to eliminate farmers whereever possible?  They don't want any fertilizer used, or any pesticides, no meat, no eggs, no dairy.  They also openly have said they want to reduce the human  population to below 1 billion.  That means they want 7/8ths of the humans on the planet to die.

How is this not a conspiracy to commit genocide?

Quote from: DKG on September 14, 2023, 12:52:57 PMEven George Orwell could not have imagined that.

He did envisage chocolate rations, I distinctly remember Winston recalling a childhood memory to that effect in 1984. Granted chocolate isn't meat, but you may also recall in Animal Farm there was rationing there of luxury foods that no animal was supposed to eat, but the pigs always seemed to have an excuse for indulging in.

Damn... imagine that going off between your legs while you were herbing down the road at a great rate of knots! 

All these climate cultists do is piss people off.

New tool to fight electric vehicle fires comes to the Valley


AVONDALE, AZ — With more and more electric vehicles hitting the road, fire departments are seeing more cases of EV fires, often stemming from the cars' batteries. Several times this year, electric semi-trucks have caught fire in the Phoenix area. It takes hours for firefighters to contain those fires, which is a common theme in EV fires.

"We've been looking for a solution," said Avondale Fire and Medical Department Assistant Chief Justin Ernst. Now the department hopes they've found a solution in the Rosenbauer Battery Extinguishing System Technology (BEST).

The Avondale Fire and Medical Department invited ABC15 to see them test out the technology as part of their pilot program which will bring the technology to the Valley for the first time.

"It's very simple," said Rosenbauer Fire Equipment Sales Engineer Michael Todd. "You see as the firefighters train on this it kind of becomes like a NASCAR pit crew. Everybody's got a position. Everybody's got a job."

The job starts with firefighters getting the equipment in position and setting up the control unit powered by the same air tank already on fire trucks. The BEST unit then slides in under the electric vehicle's battery. Once the hoses are connected and air pressure provided, the firefighting can begin — all with the flip of a switch.

The system will then puncture the battery's shell allowing water to go directly to the fire source.

"In the past what we've seen is fires take 5-7 hours and thousands of gallons of water," Todd told ABC15. "This takes 15-45 minutes, usually closer to 15, and uses about 500 gallons of water."

Trump condemned the Democratic president's electric vehicle mandates, vowing to eliminate them on day one.

"Joe Biden claims to be the most pro-union president in history," said Trump, referring to the octogenarian Democrat who ratified legislation blocking a U.S. railroad strike last year. "His entire career has been an act of economic treason and union destruction."

"To the striking workers, I support you and your goal of fair wages and greater stability, and I truly hope you get a fair deal for yourselves and your families," said Trump. "But if your union leaders will not demand that crooked Joe repeal his electric vehicle mandate immediately, then it doesn't matter what hourly wage you get."

Traditional internal combustion engines, vehicles. You need two major components. That's engine and transmission. Of course, along with the engine and transmission, you have a fuel system and exhaust system that go with it. Those [do not] not exist in the EV. EV has none of them. And in terms of the union and employment, making engine and transmission require a significant amount of the labor to put it together.

Ernst & Young estimated that vehicles with conventional power trains have as many as 2,000 components in their power trains. Tesla's drive train, by way of comparison, reportedly contains only 17 moving parts.

In addition to containing fewer parts, EVs rely on construction techniques that are often more automated, meaning not nearly as many workers will be needed, according to Chen.

Ford and other industry experts prophesied in 2019 that an estimated 30% less labor will be required to build electric cars, reported CNN.

I see Teslas all over the place. I do not know anybody who owns one.
