Climate Change / The amount of copper needed to build EVs is ‘impossible for mining companies to produce’
« Last post by rangerrebew on Today at 11:05:54 am »The amount of copper needed to build EVs is ‘impossible for mining companies to produce’

Copper cannot be mined quickly enough to keep up with current policies requiring the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), according to a University of Michigan study.
Copper is fundamental to electricity generation, distribution and storage. According to GlobalData, there are more than 709 copper mines in operation globally, with the largest being the Escondida mine in Chile, which produced an estimated 882,100 tonnes of copper in 2023.
This may sound like a lot but with electrification ramping up globally it is not. The Michigan study, Copper mining and vehicle electrification, has focused on the copper required just for the production of EVs over the coming years.
Many countries across the world are putting forward policies for EVs. For instance, in the US the Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law in 2022, calls for 100% of cars manufactured by 2035 to be electric.

Climate Change / The Lithium-Ion Battery ‘Energy Storage’ Facility Blaze You Hadn’t Heard About…Is Still Burning

It’s not a laptop in first class or a cheap Chinese scooter smoking ominously in the plane’s cargo hold. Nor is it a massive commercial ship packed to the gills with cars being transported across an ocean that has had one of the EVs parked onboard light off, and now the whole vessel is hopelessly ablaze. It’s not another fiery EV in a driveway or garage or the solar panels on a rooftop, even though I have covered all of those.
Comments regular Global Traveler turned me on to an ongoing drama in, of all places, San Diego County that should be ringing alarm bells all over the country. His heads-up was the first I’d heard of it, and it’s immediately obvious why.
Last Wednesday, the 15th of May, the Gateway Energy Storage Facility in Otay Mesa erupted into flames. It took firefighters an exhausting 24 hours to "extinguish" the blaze.

« Last post by rangerrebew on Today at 10:59:02 am »Watch: Morano on Fox & Friends: Biden admin knew their green mandates would raise energy costs – ‘This is the remaking of America to fight the the ‘existential threat’ of climate change
Morano: "We now know, according to this report, that the Biden administration was worried about energy shortages, about rationing, about skyrocketing costs, and guess what? They were absolutely right. This is the remaking of America, in the words of his EPA director, to fight the 'historic battle' against climate change, the 'existential threat', and all they've done is go after American energy and Americans by destroying their reliable, cheap energy that we had that powered our economy. And a Biden second term would complete this job right. We are talking everything, whether it's banning oil and gas on federal lands, Biden's policies have seen gas prices skyrocket and the canceling of pipelines, and in the second term, they're ready to come for a lot more."

« Last post by Smokin Joe on Today at 10:58:01 am »Just send some more stupid messages, Hollywood.
This crap is the reason there are so few fresh ideas in movies.
We'll keep sending our message in the money we don't spend.
Maybe they should just shut up and sing.

Texas / Re: Runoff Preview: Covey Squares off Against Speaker Phelan for House District 21
« Last post by catfish1957 on Today at 10:57:53 am »366 democrat votes. But the good news is that ALL of his RINO buddies got their @$$ kicked.
And the naive who bought off that Phelan losing would result in Beaumont/Orange losing the Speakership after Phelan using that as a campaign point
Can't wait till I rub that in their faces, ... and I know a few.

Climate Change / ‘Experts’ Demand Even More Global Warming Alarmism In Movies

by John Nolte 30 mins ago
Geostorm movie
The box office is down 42 percent over the last pre-pandemic year of 2019, Hollywood just suffered the worst Memorial Day weekend in over a quarter-century, and now a bunch of “experts” are demanding the movies become even more woke with even more Global Warming alarmism. [emphasis, links added]
Before we go any further, let me ask you something… How many times would you put up with this?
Ding-dong…
YOU: Can I help you?
EXPERT: We’ve checked and re-checked our data, and have bad news. A meteor will hit your house in three days, you have to move.
YOU: I’ll get packed.
Six months later, there’s no meteor, and the house you vacated is just fine. Then…
Ding-dong…
YOU: Can I help you?
EXPERT: We’ve checked and rechecked our data, and have bad news. A meteor will hit your house in three days, you have to move. I know we got it wrong last time, but this time we’re positive.
