"Green" Cars Are A Scam

Produce More Greenhouse Gasses Than Conventional Counterparts

The push for electric cars has just taken a major hit.  I've never bought into the left's narrative that unless we move away from vehicles that use gas the climate will change to such a degree that there will be mass migrations, sea levels will rise and flood New York, or any of the other doomsday predictions.  All or some of this may happen over time, but it will not be because of so-called fossil fuels.  It will be part of a natural sun cycle, or some other natural event.  A second ice age is just as likely from some event like an eruption at the Yellowstone super volcano.  The Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Phillipines in 1991 mainlined 15-30 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the the upper atmosphere, creating an unprecedented hole in the ozone over Antarctica, and which lowered global temperatures by over .5 degrees centigrade in 1992 and 1993. The media hysteria over the ozone hole led to stories about how skin cancer for was going to be epidemic. Then, in 1994 the ozone hole had shrunk to such a size that scientists had trouble finding it.  Crisis over. Never mind.  The idea the CO2 from automobiles is going to have any significant effect is pure sophistry. First off, CO2 is not a pollutant.  It is a gas essential to life.  We exhale it.  Plants feed off of it.  Frankly, an increase in the level of CO2 might be a good thing.  It would be conducive to growing more crops for an increasing global population.
The point is that nature is much more powerful than anything that we can ever possibly conceive.  The earthquake and tsunami in Japan is a reminder of that.It also has incredible self-healing abilities.  The Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster was supposed to creat environmental havoc for decades, yet after just a few years the effects were virtually non-existent.  Even in the event of a nuclear holocaust the earth would eventually heal itself.
The study showing that this "green" technology is producing more of these so-called greenhouse gasses than their petroleum-based counterparts is both amusing, and further proof that the global warming/climate change movement is nothing more than a scam to redistribute wealth.


Electric cars may not be so green after all, says British study

Ben Webster From: The Times June 10, 2011 3:23PM

ELECTRIC cars could produce higher emissions over their lifetimes than petrol equivalents because of the energy consumed in making their batteries, a study has found.

An electric car owner would have to drive at least 129,000km before producing a net saving in CO2. Many electric cars will not travel that far in their lifetime because they typically have a range of less than 145km on a single charge and are unsuitable for long trips. Even those driven 160,000km would save only about a tonne of CO2 over their lifetimes.

The British study, which is the first analysis of the full lifetime emissions of electric cars covering manufacturing, driving and disposal, undermines the case for tackling climate change by the rapid introduction of electric cars.
