Some people are now openly talking about how they "pleasure," themselves with how "Green," they think they are.
Really, I'm ready to walk away from it all and just build myself a cabin in the mountains so I can get some peace, however, I'm sure I'd have to "pleasure," some building official by submitting plans for the structure (this is me, laughing) and having them sign off on them, promising them that my construction is R401 Compliant.
“Let me say that again: 60% of our emissions that need to be reduced come from you, the person on your street, the senior on fixed-income ... That’s you. We have to break your will.”
Right.
David Ismay, the lying, sick fuck, gets added to the list.
"...Those (Federal vehicles) include vehicles assigned to various civilian (like the Postal Service) and military agencies. Of those, the majority — about 412,500 — are trucks, with 272,000 light trucks, 102,000 medium-duty and 39,000 heavy trucks..."
Tell me, precisely, what those EV's ARE, RFN, that we'll supposedly be producing for said replacements. Really, I'm pretty squared away on what we have in the U.S. at the moment and the only thing I've seen thus far is this joke.
This should prove to be yet another boondoggle, pissing away taxpayer money on feel-good bullshit.
The WEF says the public will ‘rent’ everything they require: stripping the right of ownership under the guise of ‘sustainable consumption’ and ‘saving the planet’. Of course, the tiny elite who rolled out this great reset will own everything. (emphasis - ed.)
So, you want to own that idyllic piece of land on the coast and build a house on that scenic overlook of the ocean?
Too bad, you're not allowed to be aspirational in The New Age of Unwant™. You'll live in "Social Housing," you see, AND YOU'LL LIKE IT!!!
Living out in the hinterboonies is for the toothless, inbred hicks, or didn't you know that? Wouldn't want to be out there with the savages,WOULD YOU?!?
You want to own the fanciest luxury car on the planet?
Tough, you're no longer going to be allowed to OWN a car, period...how bourgeois, the very notion, an enemy of The People!
You'll take mass transit, AND YOU'LL LIKE IT!!! Or you'll WALK, like the good prole you are!
This kind of "thinking," of course, is the road to serfdom, and a method toward conditioning the morons into considering such programming, (say, Hate Speech) as having some sort of moral authority, and therefore stripping all of their freedom of speech is somehow a GOOD thing. That search link should be enough to scare the living shit out of anyone with an IQ north of about 110.
That's the beginnings of rescinding your rights. The rest of them will follow.
Gov. Newsom bans gas automobiles, BY EDICT, by 2035.
FACTS ARE, morons, and can't be argued.
The stupid fucker can't even imagine what this is going to do to his state, both immediately, as well as in the not too distant future.
ANY dolt who thinks this is a good idea, for say, environmental concerns can just get bent, as that's no bearing on anything, since THE MARKET can, and WILL, sort that out, all on its own.
You disagree, you're both WRONG, as well as being ignorant of economics, as well as history.
From top to bottom, pure filth; outlandish promises and conjecture, no substance and politician worshipping.
This just amazes me;
"..The Zero Code would have similar impact, unleashing innovation in the building sector, inspiring adoption by other states, and, perhaps most important, serving as an important signal to the rest of the world. “Nothing is happening at the federal level,” Leddy says, “so China, India, and the EU are all looking to California to take the next step.”
I'd really like to ask Martin why he figures China gives two shits about what California is doing about "climate change," when they have ZERO issue with using coal, and in FAR larger quantities than anyone else in the world.
And the "unleashing innovation," bit is just so much pablum. Innovation comes from thought and toil, not from the pen of some new, insipid LAW, decreeing what shall be.
Better yet, why don't you MOVE TO KALIFORNISTAN, Marty, and partake of their foolishness.
My mouth was agape, reading that tripe, but the summation was just too much.
Just look at this filth;
"Architects should be jumping for joy at the news that affordable housing will finally get on the radar screens of city leaders in their own backyards. Many of us were trained in the 1960s and 1970s to design mass housing, only to find that no one would pay us to do so. If we regain our altruism, proclaiming the right of citizens to live in affordable, beautiful, energy-efficient multifamily housing, we may very well get our mojo back, and start walking like winners because we’re doing good—good for the common folk. Wouldn’t that be something?"
There is a reason no one would pay you to do that "work," as you're calling it, Mr. Hewitt, and it has to do with an exchange of VALUES, that being their MONEY, as a representation of their LABOR, in exchange for something that they VALUE, with is PROPERTY.
"The New York Times put that idea forward when it ran an op-ed asking, “Would human extinction be a tragedy?" "It may well be, then, that the extinction of humanity would make the world better off," it pondered. More children mean more plane trips, more cows and more carbon emissions. Like the cows and the planes, the children must go for the environment to be saved to go on existing in splendid isolation. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If there isn’t a single human being left on the planet, does it matter how pristine the woods, lakes and skies are?"
The very IDEA that there wouldn't BE any people around to even enjoy, much less...EXPLOIT Mother Gaia gives the Donkeycrat-Prog-Eco-Phreak-Totalitarians a warm fuzzy.
Obviously, she is intent on throwing out the last 400 years of science and physics by somehow proving that Isaac Newton is some sort of moron, James Watt was a knuckle-dragging troglodyte and that Nicolas Carnot was some sort of warlock, conjuring potions around a steaming cauldron, or some similar rot.
She'll just pass a law!
Since these were all Old White Men (who hoisted the world out of the darkness and into the light, BTW), and therefore racist, she can unmake their shit. Somehow.
Tell me, Alex, are you aware of how solar panels are built? What must be mined in order to make just the raw materials? How about the components? How about the COPPER conductors? Aluminum frames to hold the panels in place? The tempered glass outer facing? How about the silicon-based matrix itself? Clue; LOTS OF ELECTRICITY, and in quantities you can't imagine, because you've NEVER had to study any of the hard stuff.
Do you know how efficient the PV-conversion is? I can tell you, since I'm a LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECT, that it isn't what you think it is, and certainly isn't free power, as you're almost magically insisting it is. What about the life-cycle costs? Replacement...Oh, you weren't AWARE that solar panels degrade over time? Shocker.
Can you please explain how Wattage is then converted to BTU's, or into horsepower, and the inherent, and unavoidable LOSSES that MUST be accounted for in your Grand Scheme of Greenery that will undo...racism?
Are you serious with this bullshit, Utopian fantasy, you dumb cunt?
And not one bit of it is about sitting around, waiting for all of the other retards in the room to grow a fucking brain.
It involves Darwin, in one way or another, and so long as the strong are being tacked and bridled at the whims and values of the weak (who's the strong, then?), we will have what we have now, protracted slavery.
You want an energy revolution? You want energy freedom? Then let the shooting get the fuck underway.
BTW, any good sources out there for learning to crack base stocks into usuable stuff, like gasoline? Best learn, we should.
Hey Dick, I'll tell you what, you can make any sincere attempt at that tattoo bit on me that you want, however, if you get within arms' reach of me, I'll cut your fucking throat to the bone, you Aussie piker.
