  1. I doubt they have any idea how corn is grown, turned into cornmeal, and cooked by the ignorant fly-over country rubes they detest. That, and would probable commit suicide if they knew how much CO2 they emit when they breathe.

  3. Did you forget we have two female Democrat senators, both former governors, and two female democrat lower house reps? (Papas is counted as a female). This state is a freak show.
    Awesome blog.

  4. You read her plate wrong. It actually says "I'm better than you".

  5. It is NIMBY NOCO2
    Most have no friggin' clue what they're buying, but hey, just like getting every single jab, they buy what their master tells them to buy.

  6. because of course no emissions are made sourcing and transporting and refining everything needed to make a 'better' vehicle. catylitic converters emit CO2. which is not bad but probably not considered. better off driving old vehicles into the ground then scrapping them. bust open one of those energy saver bulbs and look at all the circuitry. the reason they save is they stop the initial pulse from turning on. i doubt all the energy needed to put those together v. conventional creates less CO2 overall. planned obsolescence is the problem.

  8. well we COULD get that lithium in maine if people would get their heads out of their asses...

    1. That's amazing. I read there is a lithium mining project in Nevada as well.

    2. but but but, what about the two peckered toads that live only 25 miles from the lithium deposit

  9. Lithium, not an issue wonder if it will blow up its tesla after finding out the battery pack costs about 25 grand like that euro peon guy got pissed and blew his up.

  10. NoCO2, as she stands beside the coal fired public charging station which costs her almost double the amount of that she'd pay if purchasing the same amount of power provided by gasoline. Not to mention al of the hidden costs associated with just scraping the battery when it reaches end of life. But hey, you know Elon's working on that, using our tax dollars.

  11. In the ATL that is a nuclear powered car, unless you are in Sugar Hill where there are 1900 homes that are powered by a sub-standard hydro-electric dam.
