By Paul Homewood Building new gas power plants will, of course, “only make the transition to renewables-based power unnecessarily costly”. How do I know?

There’s nothing wrong in theory about all-Electric Vehicles. But, if they really were a sensible substitute for petrol or diesel-powered vehicles, they’d already be jumping off the shelves. Except, for some strange reason, they aren’t. There’s plenty of irony attached to the all-EV cult: the world’s largest EV charging station is run entirely using diesel […]

From MasterResource By Steve Goreham “The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric home appliances, and green hydrogen produced by power-intensive electrolyzers.

From WSJ: The wave of early EV adopters willing to splurge had receded, and the next round of potential customers was proving more hesitant. They had more questions about how far a car could go on a single charge, and the life expectancy of batteries. They worried about charging times, repair costs, and not having…

By Paul Homewood Yesterday’s BBC article about the Lords bemoaning “misinformation” about EVs mentioned this govt website, which supposedly offers us the truth.
