How is this complicated? If you make claims about massive fraud and huge scandals and "radical left" blah blah blah, you should have something to back it up. It shouldn't just be blind trust unless random individuals with less information prove it wrong. I'm surprised people can even argue against that

Aren’t you putting blind faith in that the money wasn’t used fraudulently? I have not seen you post any receipts that the funds allocated went where they should have. That is, if it’s not complicated.

He’s trying to hard to get airtime. Just do your job and you’ll be fine. His backfired joke yesterday in the hearing about the picture of musk isn’t a good look for him or his state considering the Teslas driven in CA.

Maybe Musk should go Mace on him and take it up outside!

Musk has under roughly 370K teslas in CA. Seems Musk is handling his business and living rent free. Just a weird flex for the left to attempt to be in unison against Musk who helped their cause for the environment. Unless to actually care about the environment is another show.

He's been provided information on the precise systems he can look these contracts up. He is then welcome to audit the projects. He has chosen not to.

Has he? I know people on the left are big about EV technology, but it's unclear that Tesla is a net positive alternative.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't blame you for being skeptical. You should probably make 1000 or so posts about it.

What's funny is he makes the not taking Government's word when he believed:

Covid was a natural.
The vaccine was safe and effective.
HydroxyC and ivermectin were ineffective horse dewormer.
Paper mask were effective.
Russian hoax.
Pee tapes.
Steele Dossier.
The laptop was a russian hoax.
Joe Biden was mentally sharp.

forgive me if I don't put much credence in his ability to point out untruths when it comes to anything.

Psst: NO EV is a net positive.

That is exactly the conversation with Nash over the last 3 days or so.

"I need receipts"... okay did you see any of the interviews? did you see any of the sworn testimony in front of congress? have you been watching their tweets? or they're website? Nope. What exactly do you think can happen in about three weeks?

Cooper is a total POS. That's where Nash is getting his talking points. He must "worship" Cooper.

He has proven a keen ability to go to CNN and MSNBC for talking points.

Again, the problem is that I think we are expecting too much from these people. The concept of a holistic supply chain is totally lost on them. I'm not going to be so rude as to say they think food just magically appears in the store, but they almost certainly think lithium is a byproduct of the sun or wind or something, or that it comes from magic rocks in the ground, and that the power for those batteries is also just magically clean just because.

Beats driving a diesel. That itself makes it a net positive.

And that the lithium just magically composts into fertile soil.

My diesel feeds the trees that libs love hugging. No need to thank me.

They also deliver all the parts that are assembled into the "net positive" EVs.

Again, no need to thank them.

Wait a dang min. I drive a diesel.

I don't disagree that's plausible. Do we actually know that?

It's very plausible, considering the mining, the source of their charging, (as mentioned) the amount of fossil fuels burned in deliver, production, disposal, etc... and the amount of battery toxicity left over to be dealt with...

Someone has to keep to piss the hippies off!

Esposa and I were talking the other day about used car EV market. What in the hell do you do when you have an EV that's a few years old and needs $15 grand or so in new batteries... and everything else is still worth FAR less than the cost of new batteries?

That's something I would like to see someone ask Anderson Cooper or any other MSM talking head journalist. I like to hear you're expecting proof for claims made, but why were those same standards not applied to you and everyone else in the MSM for the past 10 years. There was like a good 1-2 years where an "anonymous source" was all that was needed for the MSM to convict. But where was the proof to the public? It was just words.
