RUSH: At any rate, Elon “Musk: Electric Cars Will Require a Lot More Electric Power Than We Currently Have.”<\/a> Now, wait a minute. I thought we were gonna have all the electric power we needed with the Green New Deal. We\u2019re gonna have brand-new windmills and we\u2019re gonna have solar panels all over the place. Except, no, those keep getting shut down. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Tesla CEO Elon Musk says we\u2019ll need more electricity to power cars like his. A lot more. ‘[He] said on Tuesday that electricity consumption will double if the world\u2019s car fleets are electrified, increasing the need to expand nuclear, solar, geothermal and wind energy-generating sources.” Uh, Elon? You have to know that we can\u2019t cover the needed electricity with wind and solar. It\u2019s not possible!<\/p>\n

\"\"“Increasing the availability of sustainable energy is a major challenge as cars move from combustion engines to battery-driven electric motors, a shift which will take two decades, Musk said in a talk hosted by Berlin-based publisher Axel Springer.'” This has always amazed me. Where do you people that drive electric cars think the power is coming from when you plug \u2019em in to charge?<\/p>\n

It boggles my mind. These people think that they are saving the planet — engaging in clean, renewable energy — when in fact, it is coal that is charging the battery in your car. It is coal that\u2019s charging battery in your iPhone, in your iPad, in whatever lithium ion battery device you have.<\/p>\n

It is coal — evil, dirty, rotten coal — and now Elon Musk is saying that there will not be enough electricity to charge all the electric cars we are on tap to manufacture. Well, why? Well, because these newfound sources — geothermal, wind, solar — ain\u2019t gonna get it done. They simply do not produce enough electricity. There is no free lunch when it comes to renewable energy sources because they\u2019re not even renewable.<\/p>\n

Do you know what the closest we have to renewable energy is? Nuclear. But even that, not quite. “Well, what — what about the wind and what about solar?” Well, yeah, they\u2019re free, but they\u2019re not very efficient, and if there\u2019s no wind, you don\u2019t get any power — and if there are clouds, you don\u2019t get any power from solar. “But mining! Oh, my God. Rush, it\u2019s so filthy. It\u2019s so dirty.” Yeah, but without it you\u2019re not gonna be able to drive your electric car.<\/p>\n

So much of the radical environmental movement just perplexes me from the standpoint of common sense and how there isn\u2019t any. You take a look at your electric car, you go in and charge it up, wherever you do that, the charging stations and you think somehow you\u2019re saving the planet, when all you are doing is upping the demand for more coal. And guess where a lot of the coal in the United States power plants comes from.<\/p>\n

Guess where it comes from, folks? The ChiComs. That\u2019s exactly right. You wouldn\u2019t believe how much coal we import from the ChiComs. They\u2019ve got it out the wazoo, and we need it, and so we buy it from them. It\u2019s undeniable. Anything that requires batteries is going to require coal to power it. I don\u2019t care how clean you think that you are making the environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hey, try this. This is from the BBC. Here\u2019s the headline: “The Heat Gap Dividing A Major U.S. City.”<\/a> The heat gap. Yes, my friends, there is a heat gap out there. It\u2019s in Los Angeles, and it\u2019s rooted in primary unfairness. “As in many US towns, historic disinvestment in certain areas of Los Angeles have created a ‘heat gap\u2019 within the city.” You know what the heat gap is? Let me tell you. “Poorer neighborhoods experience higher temperatures due to a lack of tree cover, vegetation and shade.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. In poorer neighborhoods for some reason, environmentalists are going in there and cut down all the trees. There isn\u2019t any shade. There\u2019s the no tree cover. Vegetation and shade are gone. And so it is hotter in poor neighborhoods. It\u2019s unfair. In this case, poor and minorities hardest hit because of the absence of shade. “The city and several nonprofits are now trying to close the gap through a variety of urban programs.”<\/p>\n

This is just more left-wing victimization. That\u2019s all this is, creating a new group of victims based on the fact that there\u2019s not enough shade where they live. And we\u2019re gonna blame it on the rich. The rich are going in there and shutting down their shade by cutting down their shade. And so the poor have no hope. They\u2019re sweltering, and as they sweat, they stink. And the stink rises and spreads throughout the city. And all because the rich have gone in and cut down their trees, eliminating their shade.<\/p>\n

Something new to blame on global warming. Rich people are cooler. Rich people can afford shade. Rich people don\u2019t have to cut down their trees. And so it\u2019s just another way to make people think that they\u2019re being mistreated, unfairly, unequitably because of a new discovered heat gap in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
