BRETT: Electric cars, the great savior of America. That\u2019s the sales pitch being made by Pete Buttigieg, the secretary of transportation and, of course, President Biden and his environmental crew. “The White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council expressed opposition to nuclear and carbon capture projects…”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They want to get us to zero net carbon, and they want to do it as quickly as possible. When are we gonna have a truce between the environmentalist justice advisers and the people of America who just want clean, efficient, affordable energy?<\/p>\n

“President Biden pushed the U.S. electric vehicle revolution in Michigan,” a state governed by Gretchen Whitmer, who is seeking to shut down another pipeline. “Yesterday during a visit to Ford Motor Company\u2019s electric vehicle plant in Dearborn, Michigan, President Biden called for the United States to become the world leader in electric vehicle production.”<\/p>\n

BIDEN: (echo) They think they\u2019re gonna win, but I got news for them. (dramatic pause) They will not win this race!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BRETT: Define “win.” Define “win,” Mr. President. “The White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council,” I didn\u2019t know such a thing existed, “expressed opposition to nuclear and carbon capture projects as well as projects that expand capacity for fossil fuel production in a report issued Friday.<\/p>\n

“The volunteer advisory council listed such projects as among ‘examples of the types of projects that will not benefit a community,\u2019 in a set of recommendations issued to the White House.” This is a classic example of a “Why do we care?” circumstance. Here we have a volunteer advisory panel putting out their own report at odds with the administration that asked them to be volunteers.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re even more extreme left than the administration in power, which is saying something, really. This story from The Hill points out the kind of time being wasted with this advisory council, the Environmental Justice Advisory Council. What are we doing? Well, here\u2019s Rush pointing out the ignorance of Michael Moore when it comes to electric cars.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this idiot Michael Moore does all these ludicrous movies. He\u2019s out with a new film that the media will hype, most Americans, like all rest of his movies, will never see it. This is a Reuters story, and they are promoting this clown\u2019s latest movie. And he says that, like many people, he thought electric cars were a good idea, quote, “but I didn\u2019t really think about where the electricity to charge them was coming from.”<\/p>\n

\"\"I read something like this, can this guy really be this dumb? And then I have to conclude, yes. I think leftists are this, maybe “dumb” is not the right word. Ignorant? And you finally ask yourself, what am I doing wasting my time trying to talk to these people? Same with climate change. Doesn\u2019t matter. You can have statistic after statistic, fact after fact to refute everything they believe, and it doesn\u2019t permeate. Michael Moore has been running around for decades promoting policies that would wreck the economy. The energy people are out there, they\u2019re loving this.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re saying this is a great dry run. It\u2019s a great dry run for guaranteed universal income. It\u2019s a great dry run for shutting down the economy to save the planet, for reducing CO2 emissions. What\u2019s happening to the oil industry is a great, great forerunner to wiping it out for good.<\/p>\n

He said he had no idea, when he plugged in his electric car, where did the electricity come from. In other words, he had no idea that it was coming from the power plant. He had no idea it was coming from coal. He literally says here, “I assumed solar panels would last forever. I didn\u2019t know what went into the making of them.”<\/p>\n

Meaning what a drain they are on the environment to make. Now, if we believe this, the guy\u2019s just flat-out clueless. And if we believe it, which would make sense, we find out exactly how blockheaded the people on the left are that we\u2019re dealing with and that we\u2019re going about dealing with them in the entirely wrong way.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t deal with them logically because they\u2019re not using any semblance of mental acuity to arrive at whatever they believe. Electric cars are powered by oil, natural gas. The big one is coal because most power plants still rely on coal, coal and natural gas to provide you electricity. And they hate nuclear power because of one movie, The China Syndrome.<\/p>\n
