Stumblefuck Fuckup #4

 The important bit; 

"...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 Gummint twerps aren't the only thugs

The AIA runs the profession like a plantation, just without the actual whip.

I aim to misbehave.

Who gets led to the boxcars?

And who makes those decisions?

Really, when people openly discuss these things, they have already formulated a plan.

That leaves implementation as the final step.

Not a hero, nor will he ever be

Just ANOTHER totalitarian.

And the moron is just begging for it.

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.

Maybe you'll freeze, in the dark.

Stupid fucker.

Fatalism of stupidity

Read the whole thing.

A snippet I particularly liked; 

"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.

Talk about sick.

Oh, and hug your kids. Every day.

Make no mistake...

Please, Karl, Ford is not to blame.

They are merely making a rational business decision by taking the bulk of their cars out of a market that wants little to do with them for anything other than fleet rentals, and side-stepping the regulatory crap that has been foisted upon them in the form of CAFE standards.

Fully Politicized

Brilliantly stated; 

"...But, of course, in the fully politicized society the role of art is the same as the role of science or education or car-building or grocery-shopping….to promote the interests of the dominant or ascendant power structure..."

And such is the reason for shit like "global warming," Common Core "education," and my personal hobby-horse, "Green Buildings." It's all nothing more than an attempt at fully controlling and influencing entire swaths of humanity.

Sickening.

Kill the Beast now, before it's too late

Here's the killer, literally;

"The Smithsonian notes that several economists strongly objected to the study's findings, including Yale's Henry Walich, who said attempting to regulate economic growth would be equal to 'consigning billions to permanent poverty.'"

It's the truth, of course, and that should scare the living shit out of you; The government has a plan, or is making one, and YOU WILL comply, or be crushed by it...

Look at that Beast, straight in the eye, now, and make preparations to lunge for it, going for the heart when you do.

Tell me, who owns it?

They can dispose of it as they please, then.

End of story.

Eventually, the triple-S strategy will come into play. If not here, then someplace else.

He doesn't know when to quit

This guy is the biggest fucking idiot since Carter, and he's just sure he's supposed to be heralded as The Messiah.

Shut your pie hole

Jon,

You were heretofore unknown to me as a possible contender for the Pachs nomination.

Your comments have now sealed your chances at getting my vote, and it falls somewhere between nil and zero, and it has everything to do with this non-sense about climate change, whatever that is.

News break for you asshat politicians; I don't want your help, except for you to stay out of my fucking way. Get it?

Next.

Sitting in the Dark

I liked this bit;

"For all its pretentious activism, environmentalism is a movement that promotes inaction. Don't build, don't create and don't do-- are its commandments. Turn off the lights and feel good about how much you aren't doing right now. Slacker morality at its best.

While we take the electric light for granted-- to be able to read and write after dark by a clear light is a technological achievement that has transformed our civilization."

Ayup. H/T to Pete at WRSA for the link.

Laughing my ass off over here

Outrageous claims of how energy efficient LEED certified buildings are has long been a source of contempt for me.

I find it interesting that a real scientist, with relevant and pertinent knowledge, has been the one with the stones to drag this bullshit fraud out into the sunlight for its due cleansing.

I predict, however, that it's something that will be settled out of court, and that the USBGC will not have to admit any guilt, nor amend, in any meaningful way, their claims to their points-based rating system.

I'll admit it, I sincerely hope they burn over the whole debacle.

Time to destroy the EPA

Slit their throats.

All of them, while we still have the chance.

The short answer

Q: "Why does the government want to destroy your automobile's engine?"

A: Since the Gummint now has its fingers in the game of auto production, they'd like to sell you a new car in the shortest possible interval.

If the shoe fits...

I'm not entirely sure that's the case, actually, as the situation, as I'm seeing it anyway, has been a Pandora's box, with the expected result of creating more problems than the inclusion of ethanol in our fuel could ever solve. Government has a long history of ignoring the immutable law of unintended consequences, and this instance is really no different.

In Kalifornistan, it's illegal to make the water clean for drinking

READ IT.

I am distinctly of the opinion that the only way to solve the issue at hand, and that would be the issue of freedom...to let someone own and use a fucking water filter, is to start the lopping off of heads.

Do you understand?

Comments on the Culture of Corruption

Me, I hope they come right out and do it.

Let's quit pissing around and get the ball rolling, shall we? This entire administration, and let's just throw Congress into that lot too, is so arrogant to sincerely think that they are all 10' tall and bulletproof anyway, so why is it that they'd believe they couldn't, as they're obviously completely drunk from drinking, nonstop, at the Gummint Power Well™.

Keep up that pushing, Barry, there are people out there who are keeping score on this. Then again, maybe he's counting on this blowing up at just the right time. Anyone notice the "deadline" on accepting or rejecting the petition from the Eco-Loons? Calling that an October surprise might be a serious stretch, but remember, wars have been started over more frivolous issues.

The list of grievances and usurpations grows.

Cementing us in the Stone Age

The article is just dripping with sanctimonious finger-wagging horseshit.

Get this straight, there is no such thing as "Clean Energy."

It must be produced from either burning coal (specifically, in this case), natural gas or oil, OR you build a nuclear reactor. In either case, you will still be using the resultant heat generated to power a turbine(s) to get your juice.

The "alternatives" aren't all that useful, and still require the use of metals (mined and processed from the ground, with ALL of the drawbacks of any type of mine), plastics (more oil) and, this is the elephant in the room, close proximity to the end-user.

Power transmission isn't something that can, practically anyway, be accomplished from thousands of miles away, regardless of generation method, and MORE SO with shit like wind and absolutely with solar.

Get this muddle-headed "thinking" out of your dim heads, and right now; if you want juice in this country, and you want it without having to tend your very own systems and you want as much as you can use at any point in time, live with the fact that you are going to be using the juice made from burning a fucking rock.

Got it?

The call to Havoc is coming sooner than you think

Dust.

May as well tell the wind it can't blow.

This whole thing is coming to a head soon.

All the World's a stage

It's surprising to wake up in the morning to see that Our Fearless Leader is coming to my home base to pitch his wares to the masses.

One of his stops is a little company called Smith Electric Vehicles.

Supposedly, they are going to save Mother Gaia from the Evil-Oil-Burners, or something.

You'd think that if the POTUS is going to come over to your house to pimp your shit for you, you'd have a pretty serious presence in your own yard, but I have to give my testimonial here, I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES TROLLING MY FAIR CITY.

Ever.

BTW, if any of you retards out there had a clue, you'd realize that the "technology" being touted here is that of taking a battery (whole other post about these), an on-board vehicle charger, an extension cord, and then plugging it into a fairly standard outlet when the battery needs a top-up...which is connected to the power grid...which is fueled by...

Coal.

ALL of it.

Really, not too green.

Fucking idiots.
