Pirate's Cove

Democrats know how to take advantage of a crisis, and the climate cultists even more so. It matters not a whit if it hurts citizens, because this is Progressivism, ie, nice Fascism. They’re doing this For Your Own Good, whether you want it or not

Well, that’s interesting, and, might have some power if these people ever practiced what they preached

(Energy.gov) On Friday, March 11, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm traveled to Mid Michigan to highlight the importance of achieving energy independence through clean energy, strong and secure domestic supply chains, and American manufacturing. The Secretary was joined by U.S. Representative Dan Kildee (MI-05), Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, to tour Xalt Energy and Hemlock Semiconductor Operations. The visit highlighted the Biden Administration’s ongoing efforts to lower energy costs for American communities, combat the climate crisis, and generate clean energy jobs through an equitable clean energy transition.

And how did she travel there? Surely she took the train, right? It’s a mere 21 hours or so to get there, then she could bike or take the bus to get around, right?

Later, Granholm told reporters solar is the cheapest form of energy. As an example, she compared electricity costs to the current high gas prices to fill up her car.

“It would cost me, if I had to fill it up at a gas station, it would cost me 65 bucks. Maybe,” said Granholm, “If I plug it into my garage, it would cost about $12 to go the same distance.”

Does Granholm actually drive an EV? She supposedly leases Chevy Volts. But, they are not an EV. They are a plugin hybrid. Which were discontinued in 2019. So, what now? Who wants to bet she traveled around Michigan in a fossil fueled SUV? Let’s also not forget that she has vast investments in an EV battery company.
