Morano on Ingraham: EV mandates to ‘force us into mass transit, plus Gore in Davos claims NetZero will stop cold climate

Morano on cold temps stopping EVs: I would argue this is a feature, not a bug. I mean, this is part of making travel, freedom of movement, more difficult — the more we’re stuck with cars that don’t work, cars that take a long time to charge, the more they think they’ll force us into mass transit — subways, buses — and the Earth will smile.

Morano on cold temps stopping EVs: I would argue this is a feature, not a bug. I mean, this is part of making travel, freedom of movement, more difficult — the more we’re stuck with cars that don’t work, cars that take a long time to charge, the more they think they’ll force us into mass transit — subways, buses — and the Earth will smile. This is what the ideologues that Davos are pushing. This is what the Biden Administration is pushing.

Morano on China’s auto dominance: It was Trump’s 2013 tweet about global warming being invented to help China. China is now passing Japan as the number one Global exporter of cars. There is an invasion of Chinese cars. It’s because they have a monopoly on EVs. As I say, EVS dig the Earth, and that’s why China has a monopoly.

Morano on Gore: Al Gore at the Davos meeting is now saying once we achieve the political goal of Net Zero — which was essentially pulled out of thin air,  according to a top UN scientist — the Earth’s temperature will stop rising almost immediately within three years. Gore’s pulling a COVID tactic, like wear your mask, do the lockdown, get the vax and everything will be better very quickly. They’re literally pushing this now — three years and we will stop global warming, and it’s over. We never have to hear about it again according to what we’re hearing from Davos.

Laura Ingraham: An EV graveyard in Chicago. My next guest has been warning about this. Marc Morano knows what’s going on and he’s going to tell us.

I did notice when it was 17 below zero in Iowa that the phone battery just didn’t last as long as it normally does. Well it looks like the same thing is happening to those electric vehicles that the Democrats want you to get. Chicago area EV owners learned that the hard way this week.

Joining me now is Marc Morano, publisher and executive editor of ClimateDepot. Marc, how dangerous is something like this?

Marc Morano: Well, imagine if the Biden administration’s wish were reality and gas-powered cars were banned and people could only be driving EVs, you would have a catastrophe on your hands of people stranded everywhere. I would argue this is a feature, not a bug. I mean, this is part of making travel, freedom of movement more difficult — the more we’re stuck with cars that don’t work, cars that take a long time to charge, the more they think they’ll force us into mass transit — subways, buses — and the Earth will smile. This is what the ideologues that Davos are pushing. This is what the Biden Administration is pushing.

Laura Ingraham: Well, the administration is saying this this whole push for, like range anxiety, people have range anxiety that that’s all just made up.

Marc Morano: Biden’s own Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm with NPR in tow, had range anxiety in the summer, in August, and she had to cut off a pregnant woman with her child with an infant to charge her EV at the charging station. They were so desperate to have a feel-good PR trip. Pete Buttigieg had similar problems.  They can’t even get their own Administration to have EV vehicles go well.

This is akin to what we saw in the old Soviet Union, particularly East Germany. With the Trabant, I think.  Where the East German government said you could only have one government-approved car — the crappy East German Trabant — which had had a waiting list of 10 years. And now fast forward: The once free West, Europe, the United States, and Canada — we’re emulating that insane stuff.

Laura Ingraham: Trump was totally right when he looked at those Auto Workers and he said this deal, whatever, but they’re putting you out of business this EV thing is going to put you out of business.

Marc Morano: it was Trump’s 2013 tweet about global warming being invented to help China. China is now passing Japan as the number one Global exporter of cars. There is an invasion of Chinese cars. It’s because they have a monopoly on EVs. As I say, EVS dig the Earth, and that’s why China has a monopoly.

…

Marc Morano: They know their agenda is slipping. The EV mandate and a lot of the solar, wind, agenda. People are catching on. Al Gore at the Davos meeting is now saying once we achieve the political goal of Net Zero — which was essentially
pulled out of thin air,  according to a top UN scientist — the Earth’s temperature will stop rising almost immediately within 3 years. Gore’s pulling a COVID tactic, like wear your mask, do the lockdown, get the vax and everything will be better very quickly. They’re literally pushing this now — three years and we will stop global warming, and it’s over. We never have to hear about it again according to what we’re hearing from Davos. See: WATCH: Al Gore in Davos claims government policies can change Earth’s temps in 3 years! Gore: ‘Once we get to true Net Zero & stop adding, the temps will stop going up almost immediately, with a lag of as little as 3 years’

Laura Ingraham: The gas bags are always at it. They’re the ones who add to the temperature. Marc, great to see you. Thank you.

Marc Morano: Thanks

Electric cars and heat pumps seem destined to make us freeze

There is no point in telling us we’ve got to get to net zero if you can’t tell us how we cope when we reach sub-zero.

There is no point in telling us we’ve got to get to net zero if you can’t tell us how we cope when we reach sub-zero.

It’s been a pretty cold week in the northern United States, with temperatures down to minus 18 Celsius in Chicago.

But it will have felt even colder, I dare say, if you have been standing around waiting to charge your Tesla. The Telegraph has the story.

One owner complained of waiting five hours in a queue to charge his vehicle as low temperatures sapped the batteries of electric cars and made it more difficult to charge them.

He said he counted 10 cars being towed away as they couldn’t be charged. In one case a motorist said he had plugged in his electric car for two days running, three hours at a stretch – and still his car was saying it had zero per cent charge.

There’s been a lot written about the cost and lack of range of electric vehicles but there is another issue which needs to be addressed as the Government tries to force more and more of them onto the road: resilience.

An electric car might be efficient being driven along on a warm summer’s afternoon, but there seems to be a loss of efficiency as temperatures plunge towards zero and below.

A failure of electric cars due to the cold might not matter too much when they are still mostly the playthings of the wealthy, but what happens if we reach a future where the tow trucks, delivery lorries and snow ploughs are electric, too?

We face being left with dysfunctional road transport just at the time we need it most.

Resilience is the long-forgotten element of net zero – and not just for electric vehicles. We are being sold a future where almost everything will be powered by electricity – without much thought being put into what happens if the grid fails.

The Chicago Deep Freeze has created a “Tesla Graveyard”

The problem appears to be the Teslas are not charging, even when they are connected to a working charger.

Watts Up With That?

Essay by Eric Worrall

h/t MGUY; “We got a bunch of dead robots out here”: Drivers are complaining Tesla is not responding to complaints, despite being stuck for days in the Chicago Supercharger “Tesla Graveyard”.

The problem appears to be the Teslas are not charging, even when they are connected to a working charger.

Fox claims an automobile expert advised drivers to hit the “battery precondition” button on the vehicle before attempting to charge in extreme cold, but surely even if the driver forgets, the battery manager would sense the cold, and optimise the battery temperature without human intervention when plugged in?

Here is WGN’s take on the Chicago Tesla disaster;

There could be more pain to come for the Chicago Tesla drivers. Prolonged exposure to severe frost conditions can permanently wreck the battery, and some of those bricked Tesla drivers have been stuck in the cold for days.

Will Tesla customer service start responding to distressed Chicago drivers? I hope so – but in 2021, a Finnish Tesla owner became so fed up with Tesla customer service, after his battery was permanently wrecked by severe cold, he strapped 30Kg of Dynamite to the Tesla, and filmed a rather spectacular negative product review.

Note we at WUWT do not recommend blowing up your Tesla, regardless of the quality of Tesla customer service you receive. Explosives should only be handled by trained professionals, and Teslas contain large quantities of toxic chemicals. The Finnish Tesla owner in the video above responsibly removed the most toxic component, the battery, before detonating his Tesla.
