Before taking away the proven choice and also replacing the electrical charging infrastructure (electrical generation mainly) with new and more unreliable means. Its a recipe for failure. But maybe thats the point.

GM is reading the tea leaves that they can get federal dollars (i.e. our tax dollars) as a slush fund for whatever they call “research and development” to pursue a “goal” of whatever the political regime is in charge.

Alot of these “green” companies operate this way. Same with defense contractors. Remember Solyndra? Another reason why our tax dollars should stay out of the market. 

And most of the mines are owned by China. Something like 90% of the rare earth metals are either mined in China, or mined in mines owned by China. 

Likely due to the consumers not wanting the expense resulting from mining these materials under environmental regulations like we have in the US. But hey, driving an electric car, likely recharged by coal power plants, makes us feel good. 

“that to reach the targets of the Paris agreement the world needs to quadruple its output of minerals used in clean technologies over the next two decades.” Which seems to say that China’s bet paid off.

So the current demand side economics theory is working right now? All its doing is creating inflation and not goods. 

Gotta go one step further and look down the road a bit. What comes with self driving vehicles? Ride sharing (younger generation does not feel the need to get their drivers license or own a car, theres data on this). What happens when ride sharing becomes more prevalent? A reduction in automobile production and lost…

Yup. Wait until the winter, and the natural gas supply lines being the most critical infrastructure.  

Water reservoirs power large water turbines which spin large generators. Google pumped storage power generation. And like I said, sudden demands on the system need to be dampened (I even gave you a car analogy), without that rotating mass providing torque to the generator and keeping the frequency of the grid stable,…

Unless its flywheel storage or pumped storage with large rotating masses to dampen the spikes in demand, they likely cannot. Its like starting from a standstill in a manual diesel truck vs 4 cylinder econobox. Drop the clutch in the diesel (baseload power with large torque on the system) it chuggs along. Do the same…

Think thats bad? How much of the “Covid relief bill” went towards Covid relief. Haha

Dont forget the Dams. 

Talk about putting the cart in front of the horse. Its pretty obvious none of those “in charge” have an idea how the power generation industry works. Surprising because its Jennifer Granholm in charge of the DOE (Michigan sarcasm). Massive investment in electrification while increasing our dependence on foreign…

Build? High probability it never gets done and needs to be escorted off his property due to too many project vehicles. 

Sounds like you need to expand your sources of news then. Maybe news that doesnt focus on emotional reactions to get clicks. Then you may actually be able to see the policy and how it could affect your day to day life, regardless of political affiliation.

The term corporatism has been around for a while. Benito Mussolini used corporatism quite often. Then started interchanging fascism with corporatism since they go hand in hand.

And how has that historically worked out for the citizens under that economic theory?

Thats not capitalism. Its corporatism.

I mean GM did say they were going to make a flying car a couple weeks ago right? But i suspect you are correct. Dystopia will be here far before flying cars.
