THE BIG EV LIE. Why They Won't Save the Planet & All About Dirty Electricity | TheCarGuys.tv

Reminder. California has banned the sale of Gas cars after 2035. They then, 2 weeks later, told people not to charge the electric cars because the energy grid can not support it.

When the politicians and celebrities sell their private jets, all their mansions, their limos and live the way they want us to, then maybe they can be taken seriously.

I always believe the Japanese offer a great model for the rest of the world: efficient public transport + popularity of very small cars (aka k-cars) with excellent fuel efficiency and durability. The problem with cars, primarily, is because too many people love to drive huge SUVs or pick-up trucks with 8 or 12 cylinders transporting hardly more than one person. In Japan, almost half of their cars are 660cc or less and eat less fuel than a motorbike. Yet they work just fine on virtually all kinds of day-to-day needs. That is one of the many reasons why all Japanese automakers are reluctant to invest in pure EVs, because it is not just more expensive to buy but also more expensive to run a EV than a conventional car in Japan.

Hydrogen is not an energy source. It is an energy storage medium. It takes more energy to isolate hydrogen in burnable form than you get by burning it.

I only know one person who has an EV. He got it through the Motability Scheme and that is the only way he could have afforded it. Average UK car is 7.5 years old. Most people are worrying about how they will pay their energy bill. The idea that most people will move to EVs in the next few years is laughable.

This is a very good presentation. I spent more than 30 years in the electric utility business in Texas. My company operates one of two nuclear power stations in Texas. It is the most reliable form of power generation. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Texans, as well as people around the world, don't have a clue about electric energy, i.e., how it is generated, transmitted, distributed, or costed. They are easy prey for demagogues. At the end of the day, the key question is what can I do to reduce my environmental footprint. What my counterpart in China does is immaterial; I have no control over him. So, I drive a Toyota Corolla, live in a small house, use public transport whenever possible, turn off the lights when not in use, etc. Little things add up.

One thing you could have mentioned is the effects of the pandemic and global shutdown. Air travel was greatly reduced. Cruise ships halted completely. Non-essential factories were shut down. In the USA, We instantly saw 95-97% of cars suddenly off the roads. Thats better than converting to EV, as EV is still charged with coal and gas. The ICE cars and EVs were sitting in garages. Yet, we only saw a 5.4% reduction in CO2 emissions. We shut down globally, and it didn’t even make a dent. CO2 in the atmosphere still increased.

I work for a fuel company that delivers to the back up generators for the power company with more ev's out there the back up generators are working overtime using 8000 litres of diesel per day just to keep the grids from having a black out

Really liked the video. Another reason cars are being demonized is because they are freedom, to go where you want and make personal choices which, government officials hate.

"You cannot have an honest discussion about climate change without addressing the climate engineering intervention operations."- Dane Wigington.

When we did "Cash for Clunkers" here in the US and i read the list of cars turned in, there was a... (wipes away tear) 1987 Buick Gran National. As part of turning it in.... they HAD to destroy the motor!! Oh the humanity!!

Do the right thing to save the planet. Don't buy an electric car. Buy a medium-sized economy car and use E10 fuel. Who said so? Well, BMW for one.

I have a small EV but not for the reasons one might expect. I was spending over $465 a month to fuel my 5.7L Hemi in urban driving. Now I spend less than $50 for the electricity to run the EV. For traveling we use a sedan that we rarely use. I was not even thinking about saving the environment, because I agree it's pretty much hopeless, rather keeping my money out of the pockets of the oil companies and in mine instead.

The term "electric car" sounds high tech and attractive. The term "Battery Powered car" describes accurately what it is.

My workplace banned paper coffee cups and plastic silverware in the cafe for the planet but made everyone drive back to the office 100%. We mainly talk on phones and zoom

Cruise liners, golf courses, fast fashion, cheap products not repairable and short lived, mass spectator sporting events. Infrastructure design requiring long commute times, large homes, heavy cars and personal trucks, vacation jet travel, personal jets and yachts. If there is a real problem and we must do something about it..

One other reason why cars are the target: When you control mobility, you control the population.

Some great points there. Unfortunately I have no faith in our shallow thinking governments. If nothing changes they’ll blindly run us into an electricity supply crisis. Prices will skyrocket well beyond what we can comprehend.

Wow! You should be a politician. Some of the figures on the charts used are questionable but you are spot on with everything you have said. I am an old petrol head that runs diesel vans for business and have had an Ev for 3years. I can’t argue with anything you have said, so how do our elected politicians get away with what is ultimately an ego trip for them. It’s time we all stood up to this bs.

As i always says almost nobody is or can be truely clean in term of polution. You need to think about all factor, there's way better ways to be greener other rhen running an ev like not buying cheap made in china stuff, stop going on useless cruise ship, reducing airplane flow etc... If you worry about the polution so much you should look at your life style and what you buy/eat/wear
