I looked at the last house of my grandparents the other day using the sat view on Google Maps or Bing Maps. The property is located in one of the most affluent SF Bay Area towns.
They had a number of trees that had to be 100+ feet tall each. They provided wonderful shade for the property.
The people we sold it to over 30 years ago still live there.
I noticed from the sat view that they had cut down all of those trees, and that the roof was covered in solar panels, for the house as well as the pool.
It isn't just how energy is produced.......those trees were beautiful. My friend who lived near my grandparents and I used to climb them when we were kids (going up too high may have been what caused my mother to sometimes scold us to come down )
Well, those trees are no longer consuming C02 and producing 02 but at least they get "free" electricity!
This is the problem with short sighted environmentalism.
It's two fold-force people into electric which is not practical especially price wise. And force people on the public transportation and back into the cities. A lot of greenies hate the suburbs and driving. They want concentrated population centers thinking they are easier to control and/or manipulate ie vote the same way.
Electric vehicles cannot be manufactured, distributed, powered, and maintained without cheap and abundant oil/fossil fuels.
My second sentence was pure sarcasm.
They also cannot be produced without the destructive mining of "rare earth" metals.
(mostly by China)
Nothing "green" about them.
What a dumpster fire!! Well, Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst president in the last 100 years. Biden will be holding that record for the next 100 years… Unless Harris is promoted. She is and without question, dumber that Biden.
I’m just wonder what mess Biden will cause next.
It’s times like these that I really hate that voters have no way to recall the POTUS.

If you read the treatise / book called the social contract it basically lays out our government entirely except for one important difference - the president was recallable.
I filled up on gas earlier today - $6.49/gal! I was very low, so it kept going....and going....and going. $60, $70, $80, $90. I glanced down at a little sticker on the pump that said there was a $100 limit on credit card sales. That's where it stopped, and was not yet full. $100 doesn't fill up a Hyundai Sonata!
My last fill-up was at the same station on April 25th at a price of $5.89/gal.
There just aren't words for the nightmare this fool and his mob has brought down upon us.
