I can't believe this. In a forum, I cannot convince someone of this very simple logic:

Any addition to the power load is going to add fossil fuel consumption, as we already use all the wind and solar that can be generated. Imagine the electric cars we currently have went away, what would change in electricity generation? They'd have to generate less. They'd switch off some fossil fuel power stations, they certainly wouldn't turn off the cheaper to run solar and wind! Therefore the electric cars we currently have are burning fossil fuels!

If they want to make everything green, the first thing they should have done is invest in huge amounts of renewables, THEN add more load to the grid with cars once they have that in place.

Anyway at current prices, there's no way I'm coughing up my money to go electric, those cars cost a fortune.

As a matter of conjecture, that is only true for EV's charged in the
daytime.

EV's charged overnight are less likely to cause fossil fuels to be
burned due to the lower demand at that time of day and more likely to be
supplied within the nuclear base load generation, for now at least.

The nuclear generation is always active. I looked at the UK national grid meters in the middle of the night, and saw a fair amount of gas being used. Take away the EVs, that gas would be switched off. The demand is surprisingly even, comparing winter/summer and day/night and weekday/weekend. https://gridwatch.templar.co.uk/

I know logic is not your strong suit, but the deal is,
not everything in life is "synchronized for your delight".

Technical developments occur independently of one another.

Some areas of our society are backward, and can't keep up (power gen).
We have to improve there.

BEVs mean nothing to me, because I cannot afford one.

But that does not mean I don't think they are essential
to the future.

*******

A disturbing trend here, is our ICE fleet is "going backwards".
The government stopped enforcing pollution controls. Nobody
checks the emissions of cars.

When I drive a bicycle on the street now, I can *smell the petrol*.
That's not supposed to happen. The invention of the three-way
catalytic converter and stoichiometric combustion was
supposed to stop that. All that is supposed to come out of
a warmed-up car, is CO2 and H2O. The CO, the NOx, the VOC,
is supposed to drop to close to zero.

With no one to enforce these rules any more here (tards in
the wheelhouse, so to speak), people just do whatever the
fuck they feel like. Cut off the cat, put in a straight pipe.
No one to enforce noise ordinances. Back when there were
yearly inspections, a tech could put the car on a hoist
and spot a missing cat.

And then we look at the pathetic lines painted on the road.

If we can smell petrol at street level, that means we're
violating our VOC rules. Then, on the other hand, local
government sez "we can't use good paint on the street
lines because of these VOC rules". Well, if the street
is to smell of petrol all the time, why the fuck can't
we have oil based paints again ? Come on, let your
hair down and paint us some lines.

*******

The invention of the BEV, means you *cannot cheat*.
You cannot cut the catalytic converter off and insert
a straight pipe. You cannot insert an electronic box to
fool the pollution control system. Because the vehicle at
street level, does not have petrol on board.

That is worth something.

Now, fix the power system. It's either going to happen
by evolution or revolution, but... it'll happen.

This is our pipe-cleaner project (test out SMR and see what
project cost and delivery are like). I doubt this is a realistic
plan, but at least it isn't a coal plant. Part of the fun
will be seeing what the cost overruns are like. Our last hydro
project here, was 70% over budget (making a visible bulge in
the area residents monthly power bill to pay it off).

The future yes, but it's pointless making them a decade before we're using renewable energy.

Since you said petrol in the next line, I'm going to assume you're British. Er.... we have MOTs.

No, it just reduces them. Whatever gave you the idea catalytic convertors were perfect? In fact when they engine is cold they're meant to make it worse.

I was stopped recently for a tiny hole in my exhaust.

Clearly you're not British, there is an annual MOT in the UK.

This MAY change to two years, but why shouldn't it?

Too many lines, especially those stupid cycle lanes. And round here to "prevent" people from going round a medium sized roundabout two at a time.

Petrol isn't harmful to inhale.

I run in the countryside because I'm not a moron. I wouldn't run along hard pavements even if there were no cars.

Who is "we"? There are a lot of idiots making dumb decisions. Just
look at the idiots "we"vote into congress. Technical issues are not
something to go to popular vote, lets get experts with some real knowledge.

That of course is what leads to massive corruption. Far fewer people to
buy to get what you want.

In the end it all boils down to whom you trust. Politician, expert or
common sense.

Common sense tells you its not getting warmer, and renewable energy
simply trebles your electricity bill.

Common sense show it is getting warmer and renewable energy can reduce
your electric bill. Just look at the ice being lost every year at the
poles.

I buy a fix amount of my electric as solar generated. In the winter
with less sun I lose about $3 a month. In sunny months like now, I gain
$10 a month.

This is obvious BS. You completely ignored nuclear power. We could generate all the electricity we
need from nuclear, we just need to do it. The problem is that the same folks that are telling us the world
is going to end soon from CO2 don't want nuclear, they claim it's not safe, bad for the environment.
Which makes no sense, because if climate change is going to doom the planet, then clearly nuclear
should be an acceptable alternative, one that could significantly reduce our CO2 in the short term.

It's a tremendous benefit, not to have to waste money on your car every year when it's still running just fine.

I agree we should be using nuclear, but that doesn't make what I said bullshit. Until there is clean power available, making electric cars is just burning more fossil fuels.

Biassed bribed experts? No thanks. I'd rather have the idiot next door voting than some clown in parliament.

Anyway, we're all free to consult experts.

They claim renewable is 5p/kWh. Funny how that is not what I'm paying.

I have senses, I can tell the temperature when I go outside. It's the same as it always has been.

> and renewable energy can reduce your electric bill.

It most certainly does not, I used to be able to choose green energy form my supplier, it cost more. They had green, standard, and nuclear. I chose nuclear as it was the cheapest.

Yet, since Wed, 5 Jan 2022 04:10:38 -0000 (UTC) John Doe's post ratio to
USENET (**) has been 61.9% of its posts contributing "nothing except

** Since Wed, 5 Jan 2022 04:10:38 -0000 (UTC) John Doe has posted at
least 1945 articles to USENET. Of which 173 have been pure insults and
1031 have been John Doe "troll format" postings.

And yet, the clueless John Doe troll has continued to post incorrectly
formatted USENET articles that are devoid of content (latest example on

<rxFrK.346221$%OV1....@usenetxs.com>).

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups
readers who happen by to point out that Troll Doe does not even follow
the rules it uses to troll other posters.

The same crowd that wants to eliminate fossil fuels does not want
nuclear and work just as hard to keep it out.

That is one view, certainly. That is why we need to get rid of non
renewable. The problem is that the market for Electric cars has built up
fast, but the ability to generate from renewable takes time and of course is
not available all the time, meaning we need a back up.
Yesterday I watched a programme about electric aircraft that used hydrogen
fuel cells for cruise, but batteries at take off. So how are they making
this hydrogen, I said to the TV, but nobody told me. Its a quite energy
intensive job at the moment of course, so until its not, I fear they are
never going to be able to use fuel cells, never mind the problem of their
inefficiency, producing heat as a by product of converting hydrogen into
water and electricity, but using oxygen from the air of course.
