I wonder if there’s taxes and fees involved
Buttigieg: ‘There’s no time to argue’ over climate change
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the debate over whether climate change exists needs to stop, saying “there’s no time to argue about whether it’s real — it’s happening, and it’s incredibly dangerous.”
Buttigieg was asked during an interview on ABC’s “The View†on Wednesday how his department is addressing climate change amid record-setting heat in the Pacific Northwest.
“We’ve got to do two things. One, we’ve got to make our infrastructure more resilient, because this is going to keep happening. So, we’ve got to make sure that our roads and our bridges are designed for rising sea levels and more heat waves,†Buttigieg said.
“But the second thing we got to do — we’ve got to stop it from getting any worse. That’s why it’s important to make sure that we help Americans afford and drive electric vehicles. It’s why we have to make sure we have alternatives like transit and make sure it’s easier for people to get around without having to bring a vehicle sometimes, depending on where you’re going,†he added.
So, Pete will force you out of your affordable fossil fueled and, if you’re rich, you can get an electric vehicle. If you you can’t afford an EV, which is most people, then you can ride a bike (if you’re Pete, you can can climatevirtue signal while being followed by a fossil fueled SUV), walk, or take the train or bus. All while Big Shots like Pete take long, fossil fueled plane trips and ride in luxury limos.
But, no, no, don’t argue, the time for that is over, right? Despite 30+ years of being wrong, providing little in the way of actual scientific proof of anthropogenic global causation, all the Doomsaying, don’t argue. Just let Pete take your freedom, liberty, choice, and money. Because, how do we pay for this?
Carbon fees are part of the solution to climate change
…
Pricing carbon is the best first step to address climate change. It works fast to reduce carbon pollution. We’ll start seeing reduced carbon emissions in as little as nine months. Thirty-four countries have a price on carbon, including a border adjustment. The U.S. is one of two developed economies that don’t have that. As a result, we pay those nations a fee for exports, which we wouldn’t be paying if we had a carbon fee.
And the cost of living skyrockets, energy is much more expensive, and Government tells you how to live your life
Insurance costs: Should California homeowners pay for climate change?
In hard-hit Napa Valley, which has burned multiple times this last decade, successful winemakers and longtime residents are weighing their options to rebuild or move out entirely simply by looking at their property insurance policies.
“They just can’t get insurance,†said Democratic state Sen. Bill Dodd, whose district spans the region’s celebrated vineyards. “Or the insurance is so expensive that there is no way they could ever afford that kind of coverage.â€
Yes, they’re blaming this on ‘climate change’, not the policies that created the dangerous conditions for things like wildfires, not California just being insane to start with. But, yes, I think Californian’s should pay, because this is what they have voted for. Let them deal with the consequences. And, no, don’t leave. Live with the policies you advocated for. Every experiment needs an experimental group, right?

Suck it up, New Yorkers, you wanted this stuff with your cultish beliefs in ‘climate change.’

A tesla model3 costs less to buy than the average cost paid for a new car
The median price for a new car in the USA is now over 40000 dollars
There is a reason every major light vehicle manufacturer is offering EVs
And even the base model 3 has 0-60 times of 5.6 sec
Compare that to any other 40000 dollar car
The push by the government to eliminate Natural Gas and Nuclear Power Plants that are the least harmful to the environment is wrong. The government pushes wind and solar, which are the least effective power producers and can be most harmful on the environment.
Then the push for Electric Vehicles (EV), which cause high damage to the environment to produce the battery and it has a limited life. The EV will require heavy power consumption and if owned the person will need to modify their house/garage to handle the EV power charging.
With added EVs there will be increased power usage. Lack of power generation due to less power stations and more people coming over the border will cause brownouts. Brownouts and lack of power will make EV harder to use, but the government does not care.

Remember that a battery is a greater pollutant than nuclear once it is expended. But the idiots continue to swallow the hoax.
But Mayor Pete likes to swallow or so it’s been hinted.
Maybe an update from Rimjob would be in order.

So, “Gov. Cuomo celebrated the closure of the final Indian Point nuclear reactor, which generated enough electricity to power about 500,000 homes”? Not wo worry, places like the 100-acre Nesquehoning Solar Park can generate enough electricity to power 1,450 homes!
If 100 acres of this solar park, built in 2014, can power 1,450 homes, then using the same building techniques and technology, Indian Point’s powering 500,000 homes can be replaces with just 34,482.75 acres of solar park. At 640 acres per square mile, that’s only 53.88 mi²!
Another birthday, another reminder.

Time for arguing is over? Does that mean they will finally STFU about it?
Nuclear power is too expensive
No insurance company is willing to insure one
No one is even willing to insure construction bonds for a new coal plant
Capitalists will not risk their money on a new nuke the levelized cost per kWh being twice that of solar
You can easily check Google for this
Duke power in 2016 said that it is no longer even considering nukes in their long range planning
Not surprisingly, Hairy is lying.

Hairy hates facts.
After all, all the left has is hate.
It wasn’t the left that killed nuke power it was the capitalists
You are correct, Hairy. For once you actually looked something up before you made an ingnorant statement.
The reality is that regulations by the EPA, AEC and other’s killed nukes or at least made them unprofitable. The second reason Nukes were deemed economically unfeasible was unlike, Coal and Gas fired power plants, once their self life was over they would sit for eternity as monuments to the stupidity of mankind.
Capitalism is a realistic position that looks at cost vs benefit. Something the left should try sometime. Hell, something both sides should try sometime, anytime. Anymore both sides have gone stark raving mad.
As far as electric cars are concerned. Once Musk has to contend with everyone making them, he will begin running into all kinds of shortages. Right now Elon was a genius by bringing most of his parts IN HOUSE. Meaning he is not reliant on a supply chain like Detroit and others.
He has even started building his own Ion Lithium non tabbed batteries in house because of a supply shortage. That being said, the AGW crowd and BIG PHARMA wants to rape the planet of resources to keep YOU IN LINE. Electric cars are nothing more than a means to an end.
Make no mistake they have every intention of ending those as well, except for the mindlessly rich in safe zones much like we see in Iraq Today.
The internet is the 666. In less than a decade their will be total world wide totalitarianism in place and the freedoms we all come to cherish will be gone. Even you and Elwood will be wondering WTF MATE. It’s not supposed to be like this.
Assuming your a concerned American and not a Chinese water soldier.
Sorry, but no.

Yep. I distinctly recall all the capitalists marching all over the world from Cali to London and Japan to NYC carrying signs to end nuclear power. I can still see the throngs of capitalists in Time Square protesting the evil nuclear power, throwing sit-ins, be-ins and trashing the area for their cause. Like it was yesterday.
Who said it?
All energy sources have advantages and disadvantages. Fossil fuels release heat trapping carbon dioxide plus other pollutants. Solar and wind power is unreliable and without adequate capacity. Nuclear power is too expensive for capitalism.
Jeff,
Fossil fuels release trapped carbon dioxide?? You are indeed stupid. As to nuclear not compatible with capitalism, shows the stupidity runs deep in you. I get it, you say stupid things to get attention.
Doogie Hoser DC doesn’t understand that burning fossil fuels releases CO2 that traps heat? The denial in that one is strong!
Electricity prices will need to rise significantly to make nuclear power economic to capitalists.
If there’s a catastrophe (e.g., Fukushima, Chernobyl, TMI, Jaslovské Bohunice and dozens more) who pays the billions for clean up?
It could be that a society might consider that a reasonable cost for nuclear power and agree that taxpayers would subsidize construction and clean up in the case of catastrophe.
Doogie, don’t you ever tire of being an ignorant ass?
Doesn’t fascism require a cult of personality worship like Trump was ?/
Yes.
