   Where/how is that added thirst for electricity being quenched?   
      
   They can't build solar and wind at a rate that will feed those cars   
   growing need for electricity?  Will you burn coal, or oil, or natural gas?   
      
   Can't make more hydro-electric, and the solar and wind take up space and   
   take time and cost a lot to produce and install and need a lot of   
   maintenance and when you have a cold day all the cars will be charging   
   at the same time and be linked to the grid.....   
      
   The sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing....  same   
   for that HOT day.  Where do you get that electricity to supply the   
   sudden need for electricity while you're at work charging your car?   
      
   Do you stay home and lose money? And if you do then isn't that a cost   
   you add to the price of the SOLAR/WIND electricity and electric cars?   
      
   And if you can't earn money how do you pay that car payment on the   
   electric car? And if you have a gas powered car for snow and ice and   
   heat, that costs you extra for insurance and maintenance and where do   
   you park TWO extra gasoline powered cars to use a few months a year?

   They force me to pay tax and then use the tax for subsidies.   
      
   The government forced me to pay for electric cars.

   And what makes you think HUMANS CAUSE any of that "Climate Change" or   
   that Humans tiny amounts of CO2 release of NATURALLY occurring CO2 is   
   more than what NATURE releases from all the natural sources?

   Possibly but forced changes aren't needed if that is the trend then oil   
   would have several generations to naturally become a smaller market.   
      
   The question is who decided that Solar and Wind are the correct   
   replacement for fossil or Nuclear and if electric cars and all the rest   
   of the electric needs can't be met today with all the diverse types of   
   power generation we have, why will it be able to capture larger shares   
   of the electrical generating markets.   
      
   We already see more instability in the California and Texas electrical   
   supply. And Joe Biden welcomed 2 million more illegals into the NATION,   
   not to mention the other ones that are actually legal and then there's   
   the NORMAL population growth and more electric cars.... it seems that   
   Democrat have us on a path to energy shortages.

   That's karma   
      
      
   Censorship is a systemic form of violence, using force to silence those   
   you hate.   
      
   Censorship is HATE personified... Hate groups use censorship to help   
   force those they hate to be gagged and silenced.   
      
   Censorship becomes a systemic hate crime and a form of SLAVERY when it's   
   illegally forced on American citizens. TWITTER'S censorship is enslaving   
   Blacks.   
      
   Censorship of this document in whole or part, is an admission of your   
   belonging to a VIOLENT HATE GROUP.
